Majaneen by Safar

Sabo's record label, Sol Selectas, welcomes the return of French Afro house artist Safar, who delivers a three-track EP.

Safar is back on Sol Selectas with his second solo EP for the imprint. He has also remixed a track by ARKADYAN and released solo tracks via a number of the record label's compilations.

Now a core member of the Sol Selectas family, Safar continues to dazzle with his organic tracks that combine the electronic sounds of his European upbringing with the tribal rhythms of his African heritage.

His vibrant and upbeat style fuses percussive flair with organic sounds and spellbinding synths to create compelling tracks perfect for the dance floor. His tracks and remixes can also be found on other influential record labels ranging from Stil Vor Talent to MoBlack Records.

"Majaneen" opens the release with a groove built around shuffling percussion and synths played in triplets. The track features a traditional African string instrument and organic flutes combined with off-kilter synth chords, creating a vibrant track with upbeat energy.

"Laafou" blends funky bass chords with live congas and powerful Gnawa vocals that fill the track with captivating emotion. Its stomping groove will get people stamping their feet to the rhythms of the heavy percussion.

"Escalera" closes the release with a chugging groove underpinned by a deep bassline and pitched tom drums. Dramatic bass chords and Arabic synths give the track an expansive sound that builds to the suspense of a sun-drenched breakdown before the drums are reintroduced to release an exhilarating burst of energy.
