Sabo, Namito, Shamoun release Middle Eastern organic house single, “Spicy Sumac”

Sabo‘s record label Sol Selectas presents a three-way collaboration between Sabo, Namito and Shamoun who deliver a Middle Eastern organic house single. The release also includes an upbeat Afro house rework by Silvano Del Gado.

An American artist living in Los Angeles, Sabo is a visionary and organic house pioneer who has travelled the world as a DJ, and played headline sets at festivals such as Burning Man and Coachella. He and Sol Selectas have helped define what is today known as organic house, and his contribution to this track showcases his skills as a music producer.

Namito needs little introduction to fans of Sol Selectas after the success of his tracks such as “Stone Flower” and “Legend.” He is an Iranian artist living in Germany, and he is a dynamic melodic house producer whose style merges music from his heritage with modern electronic sounds. Alongside his numerous tracks on Sol Selectas, he has also worked with other respected outlets such as Embassy One, Bar 25, Do Not Sit and Selador.

Shamoun is a Middle Eastern musician who adds live instrumentation to this release that incorporates rhythms and melodies from his spice-infused culture.

On remix duty, Silvano Del Gado is an Italian artist from Florence who is a drummer and percussionist turned electronic music producer. Specialising in Afro Cuban drums, his remix adds tribal rhythms to the original in the style he has featured on other labels such as his own DEL GADO REC.

The original mix of “Spicy Sumac” is a moody track that has a throbbing bassline and stripped back percussion forming the foundation of its groove. Trippy atmospherics shroud the Middle Eastern keys and darbuka drum fills played by Shamoun.

Silvano Del Gado’s remix of “Spicy Sumac” works in a new rolling bass and vibrant percussion that lifts the energy of this Afro house version.

Helia Jamali’s cover is a desert dreamscape inviting listeners into a realm of Persian spice and spiritual flavour.
