Slow Nomaden – Jungle (3000 Grad Records) 

Remixes by Mollono.Bass, Pophop

Slow Nomaden makes us dance to the sound of the jungle – actually the sound of two different kinds of jungle: The wilderness and big city. Synthetic grooves create the rhythm and feverish vibe of what flows through the urban canyons of the metropolis, while the organic pattern of melodies and samples gives rise to dreams from the depths of a tropical forest. The EP is just as diverse as a jungle, as well: Besides the originals, there’s the drunken pirate attitude of Pop.Hop and the intricate boost of Mollono.Bass, both manifesting in some neat remixes.

Sabo – Vibe Quest Remixes (Sol Selectas Records)

Release Date: Friday 27 October 2017
Format: Digital

Sol Selectas is a US label run by Sabo who like the label, has a deep sound incorporating ethnic rhythms and mystic melodies from around the globe.

Whether it’s a low slung groove with tribal percussion, or melodic house with uplifting pads, each release is expertly crafted with a loving ear and attention to detail.

This new Sol Selectas release is the second part of label owner Sabo’s debut album Vibe Quest, and features a selection of remix versions from artists including Acid Pauli, Zakir, Metrika, KMLN, Basti Grub and Timboletti.

The original concept behind Vibe Quest was to represent the never ending search for global beats and cultural grooves that are at the foundation of a countries dance movement. Each part of the world has subtle variations, but at the core of each music scene, there is a shared passion for sound, and exploring the differences is a joyful but never ending journey.

This promo contains six remixed tracks from the full length release, five of which are previously unreleased.

01. Timbiqui Hasta DC (Zakir ‘Back To The Roots’ Mix)

Zakir is a Russian artist who along with previous outings on Sol Selectas has also featured on Street King, Tenampa and Exotic Refreshment LTD, and his remix of “Timbiqui Hasta DC” is a deep and smooth version of the original. Using the originals vocal chants and percussion it’s still got a tribal vibe, but with a new melodic structure.

02. Singing Game (Metrika Remix)

Metrika is a Mexican artist making his first appearance on Sol Selectas following releases on Crosstown Rebels, Hot Waves and Akbal Music. Keeping the originals tribal vibe he adds new sections that are both epic and synth lead. Up-tempo and tailor made for the dancefloor, this version provides great contrast with the original without losing any of its magic.

03. Coconut Matras (KMLN Remix)

KMLN are based in America and a big part of the Sol Selectas family having featured on six of the labels previous releases. Their music can also be found on the likes of Crosstown Rebels, Touch of Class and Endless. Taking on a remix of “Coconut Matras” they lift the original’s tempo, and with added synth parts it makes an uplifting version with building tension perfect for a club sound system.

04. Singing Game (Acid Pauli’s Singing Sequencer Remix)

Acid Pauli is a German based DJ legend who regularly headlines clubs and festivals all over the world, and has featured music on labels including Pampa Records, Cocoon, KATERMUKKE, Pets Recordings, Stil Vor Talent and Moon Harbour. Stripping away the originals vocals of “Singing Game”, this dub remix is melodic and uplifting House music which climaxes in the very unexpected psychedelic break down.

05. Fantastico (Basti Grub Remix)

Basti Grub is a German artist famed for his quirky take on Tech House that has seen him feature on labels including Moan, This And That, Baile Musik, Suara and Kittball. An artist popular with many of the world’s top DJ’s, this remix keeps many of the originals elements, but replaces the stripped back sound with a thickened, chunky groove.

06. Mind Dub (Timboletti Remix)

Timboletti based in Germany is another Sol Selectas regular but his music can also be found on Copycow, Planet Pankow, 3000 Grad Records, Acker Records, and Creepy Finger. Keeping the original’s deep and dubby sound, this percussion lead version has a raised tempo and looped groove perfectly suited to the dancefloor.
