Through our travels across the world, we often meet personalities that absolutely blow us away with their talent. French DJ/Producer, Clarinetist & Saxophonist Wilson Costa is one such person. He makes his debut on Wind Horse Records with the ‘Dune’ EP, an exciting 5-track compendium of originals & remixes. 

Starting off, we begin with ‘Dunes’, a slow, deep, soulful & spiritual track that illustrates the imaginative compositions of Wilson Costa in the best of ways. An uplifting chorus of Indian vocals layered with a simple & groovy rhythm including organic drum hits greets you right from the off. Gorgeously intertwined with an epic background pad that’s sure to give your skin goosebumps. The flow of the track remains constant & is sure to move many hearts on the dancefloor. 

Playful, happy & lively with a hint of those retro-disco vibes we all love, ‘Q Narongate’ lines up next with an exquisitely produced house track. A juicy, acid-tinged bassline serves as the foundation for Wilson’s next aural masterpiece. Heavenly chords along with eclectic notes & stabs from the electric piano, set up the mood through the track. Deep, sensual vocal layers add more character to a tune that’s already bursting, full of it! 

Following up are the remixes by Polish duo Tidy Daps, the first of which is their ‘dub’ version. The rework begins earnestly with a tight & simple beat structure layered incrementally with subtle percussion. A sweeping pad fills up the higher frequencies & gives way to a deep, groovy sub-bass & bassline that compliments the stripped-down essence of this offering. Carefully sampled, organic vocals & instruments combine beautifully with the core of the track of a dubstastic addition to your music arsenal. 

The easter European twosome also contributed a remix for ‘Dunes’ with a more emotive take. Keeping their minimalistic approach, the track has a more sounded bassline with a melancholic pad setting up the atmosphere with delicate stabs of the xylophone-like melodies. Smartly re-used vocal samples add a layer of fantasy to this deliciously lush & intimate production that’s suitable for those intense warm-ups or a drive out in your car! 

Rounding things off is another remix of the title track, this time by Smear. The mysterious producer makes his mark with a slick, deep & deadly remix that’s going to shake up a few sound systems across the world. A catchy bassline joins a thick kick drum & a smorgasbord of percussive hits to create that aural magic, we all crave. The track leads its listeners into a lovely breakdown that gives way to a feet-shuffling drop. Don’t be surprised if you find this one being played out at a festival near you!

Mali meets India on this joyous rework from Hamza Rahimtula's 'Banjara Series Mali' compilation on his own Wind Horse Records.  Madou Kouyate is son of Malian legend Bassekou, and his mellifluous tones glide sweetly over filtered electric piano chords, funked-up bass and deft balafon motifs in Rahimtula's rework. A great track from a great compilation.

WHR Podcast 51 Ft. Luna Toke

Wind Horse records welcomes one of India’s finest electronic music producers - Calm Chor, onto our label for the very first time. This enormously gifted veteran lands a four track EP called ‘So much to Say’ that is a reflection of his more spiritual, ethereal and melodic interests. Distinctly deeper and visibly more emotive than his darker sounds, Calm Chor teams up Rohit Bhusan aka Internal Eye and with Indian Songwriter/VJ and singer Ramona Arena. The Original overlays Ramona’s uplifting and mysterious vocals over this excellent progressive composition. 

The track begins with alluring atmospheres that could immediately transport you into his sonic kingdom. Soothing pads, emotive notes and simple but surreal textures add to the tracks vibe and feel. The bassline is punchy, groovy and catchy when coupled with a simple yet effective drums and percussions. With stringed elements and stabs of Ramona’s amazing voice, the original track is sure going to find its way onto most people’s download must haves. The EP also welcomes Mumbai based DJ/Producer Farhan Rehman and Wind Horse’s very duo of Hamza and Stalvart John on remix duties. 

First up, Farhan gives us his rendition of Calm Chor’s original and it’s distinctly housey. From the groovy, bouncy basslines to mellow, organic soundscapes his remix demonstrates his dance music sensibilities. The track intelligently weaves together asimilar vocal samples with ease and precision and delivers a peak time- deep house bomb that’s definitely going to get fee tapping. 

Hamza’s interpretation of ‘So much to say’ is more stripped down, intimate and dubby with a unmistakable Detroit house music soul. With minimal fuss, the track transcends it’s many forms to don that of a dub-techno and house groovey that can get any club’s dance floors up and at it in an instant! 

The EP closes out with some proper 303 action as Stalvart John give the tune, a ‘full acid treatment’ with a hint of nostalgia and adds his traditional disco vibe and influence. A reprogrammed, gnarly bassline greets echoed out vocals and as much acid as you can take. You can be sure of some proper dancefloor moments with this banger.

WHR Podcast  Ft. Hamza Rahimtula [29/06/2020]

As World Beats Mature, it is truly and indelibly becoming an international phenomenon. Born out of warehouses in Chicago and New York, then cultivated in the clubs of London and Europe, house music culture has spread around the world with a determined influence. Thus the time has come for an important World Beats music scene to spring out of India, led by a striking young talent named Hamza and his exceptional Wind Horse Records label.

Wind Horse Records was formed in New Delhi in August 2009, earning the distinction of India's first house music label. Wind Horse was devised by prominent Indian DJ and producer Hamza. He dominated the label's artist roster so far with impressive releases that seamlessly meld house music rhythms, traditional instrumentation from Indian and other world musics, and admirably high production standards.

Wind Horse Records was formed in New Delhi in August 2009, earning the distinction of India's first World Beats music label. Wind Horse was devised by prominent Indian DJ and producer Hamza. Many of Wind Horse's releases feature Hamza collaborating with important talent such as Harmonic Choir founder David Hykes, well known Punjabi singer Jasbir Jassi, and Yungchen Lhamo, a Tibetan singer who has recorded for Peter Gabriel's Real World imprint. In fact, collaboration and the merging of tradition with contemporary dance music can be seen as Wind Horse's mission, and yields exciting and unique results. 

Wind Horse's future includes increased interaction with musicians from 'the west,' as the label includes renowned remixers and artists from the electronic music world. Wind Horse's next step includes remixers such as Tom Middleton, Michael Mayer, Ricky Ryan, and Kosmas Epsilon tackling its exotic sound. The label also will continue to showcase the music of its region's up-and-coming producers, including new discoveries Kartech, from New Delhi.

The label's primary focus remains to expose the pool of talent from India and 'the east' to global dance music citizens. Wind Horse has been largely successful thus far, earning accolades from fans like Riva Starr, Dubfire, Peter Kruder, Roger Sanchez, John Digweed, Lauren Garnier, and Sander Klienenberg. Wind Horse's reach looks to continue to expand as Hamza and Vipul Angirish increasingly play gigs and festivals around the world. Wind Horse is also forming a live 'sound system' act which includes Hamza, Indian percussionist Latif Khan, Latin percussionist Manu Idhra, and a promising mix of dancers, visual artists, and globally based guest musicians. Wind Horse will also be exposing its sound to the world through the WHR Podcast Series, featuring two mixes each month from Wind Horse DJs and friends of the label.

The Wind Horse style and concept has worldwide reach, blasting its international vibe out of club systems and home stereos in nearby as well as far-flung cities. With its ambitious plans the label is sure to increase its profile, delighting house music heads, world music aficionados, and lovers of exotic electronic music with an abundance of top notch releases. Keep and eye and an ear on Wind Horse Records and its tight knit family of artists ‚ exciting and surprising things are soon to come.
