Jean Vayat - Trayam Bagam (Emrat Remix)

Sabo’s record label, Sol Selectas presents a mystical organic house EP by Jean Vayat which also features a remix from Emrat. Jean Vayat is a Ukrainian artist currently living in Los Angeles, United States. He has a nomadic style that blends sun drenched melodies with uplifting synths and flowing percussion. This is his first solo release on Sol Selectas following contributions to 5 of the imprint’s compilations, and it solidifies him as a core member of the label’s artist family. Jean Vayat has also featured on other respected imprints such as Go Deeva Records, Harabe, Baikal Nomads and Shango Records. On remix duty, Emrat is a Ukrainian artist from Kiev making his Sol Selectas debut following tracks and remixes on other respected imprints such as kośa, Hoomidaas and MONADA. His style blends Arabic influenced melodies and traditional instruments with enchanting electronic sounds. The EP’s title track, “Changes“ opens the release with acid bass stabs and a pulsating arpeggio synth that forms a foundation for Arabic strings and a haunting vocal by Mohsen Neshom. Track two, “Good Morning“ is a psychedelic track with spiralling synths, trippy vocal textures and a warped flute that adds to the track’s hallucinatory vibe. Third on the release and last of the originals, “Trayam Bagam“ is a percussive cut with cinematic vocal chants that add to the epic sound of this invigorating track. Emrat closes the release with his remix of “Trayam Bagam,“ which is an atmospheric version that strips back the percussion and adds additional synths that help create a more majestic version. The cover by Helia Jamali takes us through a portal, to a parallel universe of constant changes.
