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.

SOL075 Amentia -Conquête De l’Oued 

1. Invocation
2. Conquête De L'Oued 
3. Conquête De L'Oued (Noemas Harem Hustle Mix) 
4. Conquête De L'Oued (Noema’s Darb-i Dub Mix)

Original Release Date December 9, 2019 

Sol Selectas is pleased to welcome back French duo Amentia, with 2 original songs on the Conquête De l’Oued EP, which showcases  their unique take on organic tribal house music. 

The music tells the story of a man taking part in an indigenous “Invocation” ceremony. Hypnotized by medicine, in a dream like state, the percussion rattles his senes of reality, and guides him along a path filled with swirling winds, and heavy storm clouds. 

“Conquête De L'Oued “ is when the man awakes from the dream to find his horse, and rides through the desert valleys processing the lessons learned from the elders. Thirst almost overtakes his survival, but he no longer fears death, as the lucid journey has shown him the light. 

For the remix we welcome our German friend Noema, who has previously appeared on Summer Sol III, as well as the Vibe Quest Remix LP for Sabo. Noema takes a dirty disco approach and extends the original to an epic 10 minute journey. He focuses on the analog bass elements and creates a dance floor groove monster. On his Darb-i Dub version, he really strips things back, and takes out the melodic synths for a late night disco chugger. 

The artwork by Helia Jamali maps out the hallucinogenic adventure the lone horseman takes through the desert.

SOL073 "Mazlum"  - Ali Kuru
Remix by Satori

Original Release Date October 14, 2019

1. Mazlum - Ali Kuru
2. Mazlum (Satori remix) - Ali Kuru
3. Donuk - Ali Kuru

Sol Selectas presents “Mazlum” by Turkish artist Ali Kuru, which features 2 original tracks and a remix by Satori. 

Ali Kuru has a unique sound quality which perfectly combines raw analog instrumentation, with modern electronica, without sounding too polished, nor too forced. Mazlum begins with soothing wind instruments which lure us into another dimension of chirping birds, a funky bass line, and tribal drums. Suddenly the medicine takes hold, and we are twirling into a psychedelic state which borders on madness, but opens our third eye. The trip climaxes with acid guitar licks, and then the groove takes hold of us again, and the insanity begins to simmer, slowly taking us back to earth. 

For the remix of Mazlum we are very excited to welcome back Netherlands artist Satori.  - whose remix of “Syria” released on Sol Selectas 3 years ago, is now considered a classic of the desert tribal genre. For this remix he does not disappoint, focusing on the trippy analog strings,  and expanding them to create immeasurable excitement on the dance floor. As he filters the sounds in and out, he adds his own vocals and new guitar licks. The string parts add a distinct middle eastern vibe, but maintain the raw quality of the original tune. 

Donuk sounds like a Turkish psych band suddenly discovered 90s Chicago house.  Long cello notes, tribal layers, trumpets, and oud licks all combine with sounds of a jungle safari, to create a truly psychedelic adventure. The distorted vocals guide us to the furthest recesses of our minds, while the groovy baseline keeps your hips moving uncontrollably. 

The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us deep into a mystical valley of cosmic delights and eclipsed totalities, where your primal emotions rise up to the surface, and guide your path.

6. Obelisk (Roderic Remix)
7. PInneal (Geju Remix)


Sol Selectas is pleased to welcome back Argentinian artist Ulises for his first solo EP, after contributing two amazing songs for our Summer Sol compilations. This EP contains four original songs, and three remixes. In the artists own words - “The concept of the Más Allá EP is an attempt to go beyond the boundaries of the mental experience, trusting our inner voice to guide us into the expansion of our being.” 

“Más Allá” tells the story of that psychedelic inner journey which leads to the dusty way of ego dissolution.  “Pineal” refers to our third eye, which connects our consciousness, with a higher energy source. “Sian” pays homage the magical land of Sian Kaan, famous for its sunsets in the lagoon. “Obelisk”  was inspired by a trip to Rome, where the looted Egyptian obelisks can be found all over the city, working as antennas of sacred energy.
 
For the remixes we welcome back to the label David Mayer from Germany, who crafts a beautiful version of “Sian”, picking up the tempo slightly, and injecting his signature Afro house groove. Mexican Roderic joins the label for the first time, delivering a smooth take on Obelisk, weaving the horns in and out, and building the tension on the final breakdown. And finally, we welcome Russian artists Geju to Sol Selectas, also for the 1st time. They transform “Pinneal” into an epic down tempo journey, which opens the third eye to a higher frequency. 

The artwork by Helia Jamali visualizes the music leading our conscious mind to a clearer recognition of the higher self.

SOL074 Moja - Dandara feat. Elfenberg, Arutani, Klik & Frik

Original Release Date November 3, 2019

1.  "Atumbe"(Original)- Dandara
2. "Atumbe"(Elfenberg Remix)- Dandara feat. Elfenberg
3. "Caracal"(Original)- Dandara
4. "Caracal"(Klik & Frik Remix)- Dandara , Klik & Frik
5. "Moja"(Original)- Dandara 
6. "Moja"(Arutani Remix)- Dandara, Arutani

Pre-Order: https://www.beatport.com/release/moja/2738798

Sol Selectas presents a new original EP from Dandara out of Switzerland. Known primarily for his downbeat tracks, this release explores the more uptempo side of Dandara, combining his love for African vocals, melodies, and tribal grooves. 

“Moja” leads the pack here with lush chords and synth stabs framing the tune, and African chants which call us straight to the dance floor. 

“Caracal” is pure groove with an infectious baseline, captivated melodies and live tribal djembe drums on top which Dandara played himself. The vocal shouts and acid arpeggios add suspense to the song and keep things moving. 

“Atumbe” creates an atmosphere of midnight dancing in a moonlit jungle. Percussive rolls and wooden mallets repeat to sustain the groove, while the electronic synth stabs and arpeggios keep us in modern times. 

On remix duties each song gets it’s own interpretation from more friends of the label. 
Elfenberg strip back “Atumbe” to its tribal elements, adding their own cow bells, and moments of tension.
Klik and Frik take "Caracal" and elevate it to a higher place with chords build ups, a funky “live” drum kit sound, and big basslines. 
 And last but not least we welcome Arutani for the 1st time on Sol Selectas, with a super cool remix of "Moja". He focuses on the groove elements and trippy synths, removing the vocals but transforming the track into a slow groover. 

The artwork by Helia Jamali captures the essence of the jungle, a window into the beauty of nature, which is both dangerous and seductive.

Sol Selectas presents Global Entry, a new compilation series which features 11 original tracks from various artists around the World. While our summer series focuses on the feel good summer time jams, this comp will be an outlet for the even deeper, psychedelic, left-field music, we receive from so many talented producers. The idea is we all enter a new musical dimension , through a unified global portal, a doorway which anyone from our planet is invited to access. The only requirement for admission is originality, emotion, and a funky groove. “Global Entry” grants the listener easy access to this pathway which leads us into the cosmos. 

On this first volume have music from Germany, Argentina, Italy, UK, Spain, Russia, Morocco, France, and Israel. We go from downbeat heartfelt melodies,  to wild disco, to energetic tribal, to desert grooves, to afro tech, to Balearic beach - all in one orbit. 

This comp series is a new outlet for Sabo to continue releasing incredible music that gets submitted for the label. While full EP’s are not always an option, this comp gives new up and coming artists, as well as established ones,  an opportunity and platform to share their audio vision, and to be heard by the larger dance music community.
