Violong

Okapra has Nigerian roots which always inform his percussive, loopy, infectioussound and helped make him one of the key artists to emerge from the Frankfurt and Mannheim scenes in Germany. Mobilee, Area Remote, 8 - Bit and many others have put out his work, and in 2018 his It's Ours party continues to be much loved round Europe. The fresh original is Violong', a deep roaming track with an intoxicating and exotic lead synth line. The drums are chunky and smooth and the synth effects add real intrigue and occult charm to the groove as wail ing vocals finish it off to soulful effect. A dub mix is also included and strips out the vocal to reveal more smart effects and alien sound designs that get deep in your brain.Chile's Andre Butano runs the Cachai Music imprint and is another vital tech house artist at home on key labels like 8Bit and Highgrade. His excellentremix toughens things up with stiff metallic hits and wonky bass. It makes for a track full of tension thatreally sweeps you up and keeps yo u on edge.Last is Jee Bear, a rock drummer who grew up on psychedelia but switched to dance music in 2011. Now a key part of his local scene in the Dominican Republic, he runs his own Tanama Records and here flips the original into a more dreamy track with cosmic pads. It's one with warm chords and a journeyingbassline that will ramp up energy levels and take the floor ever higher.This is another essentialpackage of killer dance floor tracks from YET.
