Some times the music just magically comes out, and that is the case here with "Syria" by new Sol*Selectas artist Unders from Amsterdam. After several successful tunes above the 120 BPM mark on labels like Sincopat and Groove On, "Syria" was Unders' first attempt at slower grooves, and an accidental experiment that just "fell into place, and was automatic magic". Syria's current political unrest is all over the news and social media, and the story being painted is difficult to watch. Driven to create a song which goes against all the negative publicity, Unders says "between all the negativity, the more i looked into the situation, the country, its people and its culture, the more this track reminded me of so much beauty the media doesn’t portray." The song itself a slow minimal trip with chopped up guitar licks, a gorgeous flute sample that takes the listener to far off desert lands, and features the vocals of Veerle.  Satori is yet another up and coming producer from the Netherlands, gaining instant recognition sharing the stage and studio with Acid Pauli, and producing incredible tunes utilizing live instruments played by himself, and tastefully incorporating these with electronic elements. His remix preserves the original message of "Syria" lowering the BPM to an even more hypnotic 104 BPMs. Satori adds middle eastern strings and chords, swapping out the original vocal for a more Saharan inspired call, and even plays delicately with some acid sounds furthering the listeners journey.  
Both songs are meant to invoke peaceful images of Syria, and conjure up positive intention on the dance floor. Sol*Selectas is very excited to present the debut song "Syria" from Unders, and the amazing remix by Satori,  two artists from the Netherlands you would do well to keep your eyes and ears open to in 2016.

Відчувай,

Tемне тяжіння наших сердець.

Оклик у пустоті, яка наповнює холод теплом.

Роздуй цей кристалічний попіл,

Погляд у простір безмежного сяяння зіркового.

Поля тяжіння сердець у безмежній глибині,

Безмежній глибині звукових відкликів 

У полі безгравітаційного тяжіння.

 

“О, не журися за тіло!

Ясним вогнем засвітилось воно,

чистим, палючим, як добре вино,

вільними іскрами вгору злетіло.


Легкий, пухкий попілець

ляже, вернувшися, в рідну землицю,

стане початком тоді мій кінець.


Я обізвуся до них

шелестом тихим вербової гілки,

голосом ніжним тонкої сопілки,

смутними росами з вітів моїх.

Я їм тоді проспіваю

все, що колись ти для мене співав,

ще як напровесні тут вигравав,

мрії збираючи в гаю…

Грай же, коханий, благаю!”

Embrace

The dark gravity of our hearts.

A call in the void, which fills the cold with heat.

Blow up the crystalline ashes,

A look into boundless space of the starglow.

Gravitational fields of the hearts within immense depth,

Immense depth of the soundwaves,

In the disgravitational field of attraction. 

 

“Oh do not worry about the body, 

It’s now infused and glows with the divine fire,

As clear and bright and glittering as wine,

Whose life in sparkling bubbles mounts on high.


Just an airy pinch of dust

Remains to mingle above the earth.

My end will become a new start.


I’ll give them back in my mystic speech

All those tender songs you used to sing,

The tunes you played for me in that lost spring,

Collecting the dreams in the grove, 

Oh carry on playing, my love, I beg you!”
