Jaguar Dance
Sol Selectas welcomes back Polish artist Raidho with a fresh 3 song EP, including remixes from Ameme & NenaHalena, LUM, and West & Hill.
The lead song “Jaguar Dance” is a deep interpretation of a Detroit Techno classic. With a long emotional intro, beautiful drum programming and key work which take influence from the original, combined with superb musicianship from collaborator T.Etno, this song is already an instant hit. On the remix we have production duo Ameme and NenaHalena, who warp the original into a powerful Afro House jam. The off kilter percussion, synth stabs, and long extended breakdown whirls the crowd into an absolute frenzy.
“Whispers” is a mid tempo groover, with notes of tropical percussion, ancestral chants, and ethereal vocals swirling in and out. West & Hill is new on the label, and takes the original into even deeper house territory, adding lush piano keys, guitar licks, and uplifting pads.
“Slow Life” brings down the tempo with rich tabla percussion, a groovy bass line ,and moody synth work. Our dear friend LUM offers two remixes of “Slow Life”, the first one takes us into minimal tech, reminiscent of classic Luciano, with deep grooves, vocal stabs, and tribal percussion. The final interpretation is for those After hours moments, where reality and dreams fuse into one consciousness. Spiritual flutes and liquid bass notes pulse in and out taking the listener to new dimensions.
The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us on a journey through the heart of the jungle, in its chaotic, yet so organized, state of being.
