The house express volume 3

Sounds Of Khemit builds on the success of their first release by quickly following up with a superb various artist collection. A broad mix of artists from around the world all contribute to what is a brilliantly diverse album. 

The Sounds of Khemit label is focused on serving up music to transport the listener to higher states of consciousness, unlocking and strengthening our life mission on this planet. It aims to bring harmony and joy to people in their daily lives, and this new collection sure backs that up. 

LA-based deep house dreamer Sarkis Mikael kicks it off with 'Mountain Rising,' a gently undulating groove laden with bittersweet chords and keys that rise through the mix. UK duo Death on the Balcony has a stylish house sound and has released on the likes of All Day I Dream. They offer 'Lake Andromeda,' a humid roller with wispy pads and the gentle patter of toms papering the groove. Label co-founder Nhii and Wild Dark return to Sounds Of Khemit after contributing 'Hanga Roa' to the first EP. 'Dreamers' is seven seductive minutes of cloudy synths and pillowy drums that sink you in deep. 

Ykonosh is an up-and-coming Mexican duo composed of life-long friends. They have already turned heads with tunes on Underyourskin Records, and now 'Heka' takes you into a late night and exotic world of enchanting house music. Fabian Krooss is a Berlin-based talent who also appeared on this label's first EP. His 'Papilio' is beautifully delicate and roomy, with fractured melodies darting about over soft drums. Turkey's Serkan Eles has travelled between downtempo, ethnic and melodic house throughout his career. Here he does so to spine-tingling effect thanks to the heavenly vocal that hangs above his succulent house grooves. 

The Seville outfit Holed Coin always tends to tell musical stories that fuse the organic with the electronic. With 'Learning', they go slow, leaving you plenty of space and time to get lost in the arcing pads and jumbled percussive sounds. B.o.T's 'Poor Stranger' then gets more upright with a breezy house groove packed with melodic and percussive details. London based Kindisch artist Jim Rider brings the majestic 'Hunter's Harp,' before Jordanian pair and alternative desert house duo Fairplay deliver 'Things' a slice of eerie and atmospheric house. The album closes with Vruno, a Chile-born but Berlin-based artist who again showcases his naturalistic sounds with the epic strings and melodies of 'Pali Satty.' 

Khepri is a fine statement of musical intent from this already vital label.

Divided Souls & Samuri feat. Sio Blackwidow - North (Enoo napa Travellerz Remix)

Release no.10 for the ever growing Madorasindahouse Records. Two tracks that have already gained traction from Shimza’s Mixmag session and Black Coffee’s sets around the globe, the original by the South African bright artists Da Capo and Darque featuring the vocals of Idd Aziz, is a modern take on the african inspired house music, while Nandu’s remix gets things a bit trippier, perfect for the late clubbing hours.

DANE MITCHELL:

Dane Mitchell, an artist brought up on electronic music. This deep-rooted passion for electronic music was ignited when I was ten years old. 

I developed my own unique style during the mid 2000s and began my DJ career in 2007. From my grassroots of the Eastern Cape, I spent 8 years playing at some of the best clubs the underground scene had to offer: 52 Parliament Street, DnE and Gondwana to name a few.

After moving to Cape Town in 2015, I soon became acquainted with the vibrant scene and secured gigs at some great clubs and festivals, including the amazing RESET in Loop Street. Since moving to the Wilderness in 2020, my focus has turned toward producing to refine that specific, high energy melodic techno style. 


SYSTEM THEORY:

System Theory was formed from the undergrowth of the Eastern Cape psychedelic music scene. After years of success with the minimal/techno act, Dane Mitchell, System Theory was bred as a psychedelic side project which soon blossemed into the act it is today. Having co founded Port Elizabeth's first and largest monthly psytrance event, running the psytrance Eastern Cape forum to holding residencies at top outdoor festivals such as Wacky woods, Tunnel vision festival, Hug a tree, Earthdance and playing main sets at nearly every psychedelic party in the area as well as the garden route. Now a Cape Town local signed to PsynOpticz Records, you can catch System Theory at various top outdoor festivals in and around the Western Cape. Expect powerful, well planned, energetic sets with top class mixing.
