~ Alek Soltirov [Macedonia] ~

If you’ve never heard of the up-and-coming artist Alek Soltirov, you’re frankly missing out. Over the past 6 years, Alek has been one to keep your eyes and ears on through his vast and awe-inspiring discography filled with deep house floor stompers, which have been released on renowned labels such as Nervous Records and King Street Sounds. When it comes to producing, he consistently manages to strike, with unbelievable ease, the happy medium between profoundness and high-energy. Heavily influenced by the Founding Fathers of house music (Frankie Knuckles, Masters At Work, Derrick Carter, …) and by hip-hop legends (Tribe Called Quest, NAS), those sweet sounds have become the mainstay of his tracks. As a dj, he has already shared decks with prominent house names like Louie Vega and Demuir.

On these scorching days, he is gracing us with a seamless and thirst-quenching mix full of spellbinding house beats, tinged with tuneful piano riffs. Chill out, take a deep breath and sip to your heart's content the exquisite musical cocktail he generously prepared for us with a top-notch selection from Mike Dunn, Oumou Sangaré or DJ Aakmael, to name but a few.

002 ~ plastic/vibes x Alek Soltirov 🇲🇰

Dive into an experience of resonance not quite like any other. Through her love of culture, ASHRAM, a mixed raced Jamaican/English DJ, paints a love story every time she curates a set in homage to the cultures and peoples she grew up around in Toronto, Ontario. Now based in Nelson, BC, her aim is to bring these melanated rhythms to life on the dance floor. Put on a pair of good quality headphones or turn your speaker right up, as her sets will bewitch you by the deep bass you'll feel reverberating within your being. 

Her Sekhem Soundz Volume series is a dedication and offering to the Goddess Sekhmet, Bastet, Mahadevi (The Supreme Godess) and the entire Neteru pantheon.  The series will be dedicated to deities, friends, family and other inspirations.
