Hailed as “LA's best kept secret”, David “DAVI” Khanjian internationally acclaimed DJ, producer, radio host, and label owner grew up surrounded by the sounds of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Deeply passionate about music since childhood, it didn't take long before he was admitted to the prestigious Komitas State Conservatory's music department in Yerevan, Armenia. But it wasn't until his move to Los Angeles that the magic truly began to unfold.

At the young age of 17, Davi began producing electronic dance music inspired by many world-class producers and DJjs like Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Danny Howells and 16 Bit Lolitas. Shortly thereafter he was the resident at the top electronic dance club in Armenia where his career began to unfold. 

With his move to Los Angeles in 2006, Davi dove right into the underground scene and locked himself in the studio for years to follow while playing at local Los Angeles clubs nights like Monday Night Social at Playhouse, Avalon, and Vanguard.

Davi’s countless hours in the studio opened many doors for him, first of which was remixing Robert Babiczs’ “Zero” anthem which was released on the new Treibstoff label at the time. Earning recognition from top DJs in the scene like John Digweed, Guy J, Nick Warren, and 16 Bit Lolitas; Davi began establishing a name for himself in the Los Angeles underground scene. 

Shortly thereafter in 2010 Davi became a resident DJ for Insomniac Events in Los Angeles, where he established his residency at Exchange LA and began playing Insomniac Festivals including twice at Escape from Wonderland opening for Richie Hawtin’s Enter stage. Since Davi’s connection with Insomniac, he has been sharing the decks with some of the top producers and DJ’s of our time including John Digweed, Sasha, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Green Velvet, Art Department, James Zabiela and Hernan Cattaneo to name a few. 

Davi’s name can be found on multiple labels today including Rebellion, Anjunadeep, Treibstoff, Hope Recordings, and Baroque. After having attended Burning Man for over six years, Davi collectively put all his Rebel heart inspiration in the studio to create his first Crosstown Rebels EP in 2013 called “Two Suns in the Sky.” This was a tremendous boost to Davi’s career, which led him to begin touring worldwide in 2014 having visited London, Amsterdam, Israel, New Caledonia, Canada and all over the United States Miami, New York, Boston, and Las Vegas among others.  After Two Suns In the Sky, I wanted to release another similar EP with the same mystic vibe and harmonies, but I wanted the EP to be about something else,” DAVI explains. “As I might take a little  break from making Middle Eastern sounds, I wanted this one to be as special. The word ‘Babylon’ is used in a larger sense to describe the modern world, and the importance it places on wealth and power.”

DAVI’s The Gates of Babylon is in stores Dec. 15 via Rebellion.

Murky and ominous, PAAX’s debut release on Be Crazy Music simmers, both musically and thematically, while the duo inhabit the gloom of their sounds like a Mexican Santero. Where even deeper minded electronic music producers privilege break downs and hands-in-the-air moments, PAAX emphasizes an incredibly tense ethnic vibe, that differs from everything else currently out there.

Their “Manglar” track starts things off on an extravagantly mystic note, with layers of sounds resembling ancient, percussion drenched trance festivities. At times PAAX even use found sounds - water flowing down a river - to provide their music with a much appreciated organic feel. The over ten minute long composition morphs and builds without being intrusive and is best enjoyed with your eyes closed! 

On “Albina”, the release’s second track, PAAX brilliantly navigates that spiky zone of combining cutting edge electronic dance music with world music elements. As soon as the various string instruments and afro-percussion layers start merging with the duo’s tight groove production and warm low frequencies, the track’s gravity becomes hard to deny.

Montreal artist @Kora-musique takes the next steps for recently launched New York label Earthly Delights, an imprint centred on spotlighting talents pushing the boundaries of electronic blends. The Canadian producer and DJ picks up the mantle from Yor Kultura, who provided the labels first release in a three tracker titled 'Odyssey'. Kora comes to the label after the well received 'Nuit D'Afrique' and 'Ovo' on Kindisch in November. He treats Earthly Delights to two original cuts in 'Fragile' and 'Vayu'. The pair have already seen much support  from the likes of Acid Pauli, Hernan Cattaneo, Oliver Schories, as well as heavy rotation on the playa. White Ocean founder Timujin supplies the remix action, reworking his own top notch version of 'Fragile'. Today, we're very excited to present to you in full premiere 'Fragile' in its original mix. This is an incredibly emotive cut, which fuses two distant worlds in one exquisite concoction. Soft pads, beautiful rhythms and a distinct eastern vibe mark the latest footprint in the journey of the young music maker. Release date - January 16th, 2017.

Another year, and another birthday has come for Steyoyoke. This year marks our 5th Anniversary, and as such we would like to present our 5th Anniversary compilation, filled with unique remixes and new faces on the Steyoyoke map.

2017 sees the Anniversary 05 released both digital and physical, for this occasion split exclusively into a double vinyl abounding of groove-laden standouts. This year’s bangers are provided by some of the most talented producers out there: Slow Hearts, Hraach, MUUI, Fat Sushi, Arjuna Schiks, Jacob Groening, and Tom Peters.

The combination of these artists comes from the love of expression and harmony; those artists that felt could create an additional plain of assimilation that would induce a sense of oneness amongst the differences which exist between our listeners.

TRACKLIST:
01. Soul Button & MPathy - Arxon (Slow Hearts Remix)
02. Dahu - Desolate (Hraach Remix)
03. Clawz SG - Skyquake (MUUI Remix)

HOOM SIDE OF THE SUN, VOL. 01

PREMIERE: Sarkis Mikael - Wildflower (Original Mix) [Hoomidaas]

'Bonfante takes the dancefloor apart with virtuous audacity. The virtuosity part finds expression in the intricate melodies of this lady - whereas the audacity looms in the way she straps these melodies to the supercharged rhythm sections, creating a vortex of elevating escalation. Her emotive vocals reflect this passionate form of sophistication like the shimmering details of a fractal pattern. The uplifting remix of Mollono.Bass opens a huge audio space for the atmosphere, and the intoxicating deepness of Arutani gets us going at the lower end of the BPM spectrum.

Bonfante nimmt den Laden mit virtuoser Verwegenheit so richtig schön auseinander. Die besagte Virtuosität äußert sich in den verschlungenen Melodien der Dame – und die Verwegenheit darin, wie sie diese Melodien im Takt des turbogeladenen Bassantriebs genüsslich eskalieren lässt. Auch in ihren Vocal-Parts spiegelt sich auf fraktalhafte Weise diese reflektierte Form der Wildheit wieder. Der Remix von Mollono.Bass öffnet viel Raum für die Atmosphäre und geht darin nach vorne, Arutani schifft uns mit ordentlich Tiefgang in den unteren BPM Bereich.'
