Sabo welcomes Israeli artist Laroz to Sol Selectas for a magical release that’s deep and intimate with emotive melodies. Laroz also known as Laroz Camel Rider has been a regular feature on the label’s Summer Sol compilations, but this time is back with his own EP that features two original tracks alongside remixes by Rodrigo Gallardo and Sam Shure.
In addition to Sol Selectas, Laroz’s music can also be found on other imprints including Diynamic and Souq Records. This release takes inspiration from his love of African music, and fuses traditional ethnic rhythms with organic house beats.
The opening cut ‘Miombo’ refers to the woodlands covering several portions of the South-Central African Plateau. Enchanting vocals are also presented and as breathtakingly beautiful as those forests.
Sam Shure is a name that many will recognise from labels such as Stil Vor Talent and Katermukke. Based in Berlin, he has an epic style of melodic house that is both innovative and eccentric. He now makes his Sol Selectas debut with this remix of ‘Miombo’ that switches focus from the melodies and instead focuses on the percussive elements. Blissed out and full of charisma, the rhythms intermingle accompanied with soaring, ethereal synths.
Track three ‘Massawa’ is named after a port city along the shores of Eritrea and features the amazing vocals of Faytinga who is an artist from the region. The deep house chords marry perfectly with her emotional vocals, and the track transports you to a perfect sunset on the African coast.
Closing out the release is Rodrigo Gallardo’s remix of ‘Massawa’ and he brings an exquisite finish to this enchanting release. Working in some acid jazz, he drops the tempo and adds in his own melody lines along with some free-flowing percussion that lifts the energy of the groove.
The artwork by Helia Jamali is a union of the lush African nature and the cultural creativity of its beautiful people. You can now listen to the full premiere of Sam Shure’s remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
