Sabo’s record label Sol Selectas presents a solo organic house EP by Guy Maayan that has Balearic vibes and Middle Eastern influence.

Guy Maayan has been a Sol Selectas regular who has featured a track on six of the label’s compilations, and also delivered a remix for the imprint, but this three-track release is his first solo EP. The release showcases his ability to combine natural tones of organic sounds with electronic drums and magical synth lines.

Not only has Guy Maayan been a core member of the Sol Selectas family, but he has also featured his enchanting style on other respected outlets such as Shango Records, 3000 Grad Records, • kosa •, Baikal Nomads and Akbal Music.

The live instrumentation on this release is a trademark of Guy Maayan’s delectable take on organic house.

“Niache” is the first track on the release, and it opens proceedings with upbeat tribal percussion that creates invigorating energy. Bird sounds and flourishing trumpets combine with funky guitar licks, but it’s the uplifting female vocal that gives the track its main focal point.

“Uplaya” is second on the release, and it’s got a hypnotic bassline underpinning flowing organic percussion. Hazy trumpets and psychedelic synths give this track a trippy vibe, while vibrant melodies create a feel-good mood.

The EP is closed by its title track “Light in the Sky” which has churning percussion and acid synth chords laying a foundation for sweeping Arabic strings. Warped flutes and other hallucinatory sounds add to the immersive atmosphere of this laid-back slice of organic house.

Helia’s cover art is another glimmer of the psychedelic dance of the Yin and Yang, the light and dark, the melting circus of wild horses and mysterious snakes.
