Beyond the music, there’s much to explore at Into The Wild. Discover a taste of Morocco with decadent culinary experiences prepared by exceptional Moroccan chefs. Indulge in gastronomic tasting menus by Aniss Meski of trailblazing Marrakech restaurant Mouton Noir and LA-based nomadic chef Yasmina Ksikes of Lalla Mina. Find out why Dakhla is known as the oyster capital of Morocco at the festival’s Oyster Bar, sample an array of global flavours from a handpicked collection of street food vendors, and enjoy bespoke cocktails from the avant-garde mixologists at experimental cocktail bar Baromètre.

After a late night on the dancefloor, the festival’s wellbeing program will leave you feeling rejuvenated, grounded and more connected with your mind, body and surroundings. Nourish the soul with outdoor yoga while taking in the natural beauty of Dakhla’s scenic views, immerse yourself in a Pyradym sound healing experience, or soak up the sun as you relax by the pool. Those seeking more high-octane adventures can also jump aboard a boat trip to explore Dakhla’s most exceptional landscapes or enjoy the exhilarating rush of a Dune Buggy or Quad Bike ride around the breathtaking central lagoon.

Set against the backdrop of the breathtaking central lagoon, Dakhla Club will be home to Into the Wild 2022.

PACK SHOT Various Artists - The Great Ennead - Sounds of Khemit

VA ‘The Great Ennead’

Artist: Various
Title: The Great Ennead
Label: Sounds of Khemit
Cat. #: SOK011
Format: Digital
Release Date: 9th September 2022
Tracklist:
01 LADS – Tales of the Orient
02 Turu Anasi – Luciérnagas Mágicas
03 Olivan – Stretch The Wings
04 K-os Theory, Soul Of Zoo – Whispers of the Past
05 Nhii – Sandstone
06 Somelee – All I Want
07 Solidmind – Paragon
08 Solar Kings – Ateik Ateik
09 bawab – Seaward

Sounds of Khemit celebrate the Great Ennead with a fantastic new collection of nine tracks from some of their key associates.

The inspiration for this collection is explained by the label who say, “The Great Ennead is a group of nine Masters that are responsible for running and administering the bigger plan of creation. They are considered a high council or hierarchy that takes orders from the one Creator and execute it accordingly. Every one of the Great Ennead holds specific characteristics and excels in it to perfection. The Masters of the great Ennead occasionally get reincarnated in different periods of time and to different nations worldwide. They would be known under different names to different cultures but their mission and task remains the same. ”

Every master of the great Ennead owns a range of complex characteristics that have been explained in detail in previous Sounds of Khemit releases. Essentially, their mission is to bring light from darkness, which is mirrored by the label and this fantastic new collection of house sounds.

LADS kicks it off with ‘Tales of the Orient,’ an eight-minute masterclass in deep, spiritual and hypnotic house. Turu Anasi’s ‘Luciérnagas Mágicas’ rolls on lovely lazy drums with glistening melodies and languid horns while Olivan’s ‘Stretch The Wing’ brings intoxicating Middle Eastern sounding Melodies over snaking drums and soft shakers. When K-os Theory and Soul Of Zoo come together on ‘Whispers of the Past’ they summon spine tingling vocals and wispy melodies that draw you in deep over pillowy but propulsive house beats.

The excellent ‘Sandstone’ by Nhii is another great marriage of the ancient and the contemporary with its earthy percussion and deft synth design. Somelee’s ‘All I Want’ then strikes a dreamy pose with soft focus piano chords and shuffling beats. There is a darker mood to Solidmind’s late night house cut ‘Paragon’ but Solar Kings bring back the light with their elegant and glassy keys on ‘Ateik Ateik.’ bawab closes down with ‘Seaward’, an elastic groove brilliantly detailed with whispers, wooden hits and plunging bass.

These are shamanic and cultured house sounds that bring worldly references to the dance floor with plenty of style.

 

Brandski ‘Arena EP’

Artist: Brandski
TItle: Arena EP
Label: Mélopée Records
Release Date: 5-10-22

Brandski is back with a wonderful italo piece.The talentuous French artist, real spearhead of the label, delivers a perfect track full of joy : 80’s inspired rhythm, positive and melodic leads, cosmic pads. Mathias proves once again that he can breathe new life into the Italo music. This single is also the perfect time to announce that Brandski is going to release his debut album in early 2023. And we are really very proud because this gem will be released on Mélopée Records !To complete the original “Arena”, nothing better than welcoming two geniuses of the new Italo scene : Chinaski and Emmet Read. Whatever originals or remixes he does, we are never disappointed by the musical vision of Chinaski. He drops here a perfect dancefloor Italo remix. Each sound is so well choosen, bringing a perfect retro-cohesion. The original is sublimated but its soul is saved. Finally, the UK producer Emmet Read reinvents, with brio, “Arena” through an epic and cosmic remix. The track rise is magnificent, full of emotion. And when the music goes, the dancefloor is conquered !

Tracklist:

2. Conviction

Rob StrobE returns to Detroit’s Motech Records with his follow-up to last year’s ‘Home EP’.

First track, ‘Shaped’ delivers a modern approach to the classic sound of Detroit based on 909 drumming, a bouncing pad surrounded by quirky 303-ish sounds and jammed live for your pleasure with minimum editing to keep the vibe alive. ‘Conviction’ follows
With its modular jam; a straight edit for explicit night club ab-use! Stripped back Detroit-Techno to the max.

On ‘Unbranded’, the marching bass is surrounded by 909-styled drumming, to take you into the late hours with this marvellous grooving techno tool. Before final track ‘Mind the Gap’ brings sample-based techno for those freak-out hours.

As Rob himself says: “Play them loud!”

Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ (Charles D Remix)

Artist: Adam Beyer & Bart Skils
Title: Your Mind
Remixer: Charles D
Label: Drumcode
Cat. #: DCX004
Release date: September 2nd, 2022
Format: Digital / Vinyl
Tracklist:
A1. Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ (Charles D Epic Mix)
B1. Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ (Charles D Acid Mix)

One of the biggest tracks in Drumcode’s history gets the remix treatment from a rising American producer Charles D.

Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ is a classic of the form, streamed over 38M times and judged by Mixmag as one of the greatest techno tracks of all time. Indeed, every Drumcode fan has a special place in their heart for the anthem from 2018.

Emerging NYC producer/DJ Charles D becomes just the second artist to officially remix the legendary track. His ‘Epic Mix’ is a chugging end-of-night weapon that was first played by Adam Beyer to close out Awakenings at the Gashouder during ADE last year. It further soundtracked events including Movement Detroit and EDC.

The vinyl release includes a ‘Acid Mix’, which first got Adam Beyer’s attention when Charles emailed him last summer. The re-rub is a thrilling progressive acid re-interpretation, putting a very fresh spin on the original.

Ekzon ‘Infinite Circus’

Artist: Ekzon
Title: Infinite Circus
Label: Sf Records
Cat. #: SFREC006
Release Date: 21-9-22
Tracklist:
1. Infinite Circus
2. Infinite Circus (Tensai remix)
3. Another Place
4. Interpolar
5. Mimetic Forms

Ekzon will release a new EP “Infinite Circus”’ on Sf Records.
It contains 4 tracks that have in common the representative sound of the french artist.
Analog sound patterns that he elaborates with modular synthesizers and transport you to an experimental and hypnotic atmosphere. Between drums and a rich bass, the EP is made up of very organic and shiny drums. This complete EP is the result of tribal and futuristic influences.
“Another place” is the quieter, more uptempo track, with a very punchy, bouncy chord around a heavy low kick.
“Mimetic Forms” is more melodic with an arpeggio accompanied by a big white noise playing with it.
“Infinite Circus” is purely synthetic and more enveloping. The remixed version of Tensal is as well made for the club and is very effective for a peak moment.

Anwei-Huss-Huss-EP_ArtworkMGMT

Anwei Huss  ‘Huss EP’

Artist: Anwei Huss
Title:  Huss EP
Label: Huss Recordings
Release Date: Friday, September 23 2022
Tracklist:
1. Saria (Autumn in Spring)
2. Moongazer
3. Sienna

Huss EP marks the debut release from Anwei Huss. The EP boldly carves out a unique stylistic space for itself within the landscape of contemporary electronic music, and sits between ‘armchair’ and ‘club’ music. The record draws upon organic soundscapes that are at once ethereal and balearic, and thoughtfully counterbalanced with deep, melodic rhythms and crisp, driving percussion. Acoustic and electronic instruments are blended with home and field recordings, creating a textured and dreamlike musical journey through comfort, disquiet and reflection.

The opening track Saria (Autumn in Spring) combines recordings of forest leaves, woodland footsteps and natural sounds with deep rhythms and psychedelic melodies. The result is an imagined journey through a dreamlike forest, charged by pulsating percussion and echoing electronica. Nostalgic samples from game levels of yesteryear are edited and tweaked into delay-driven and reverb-saturated versions, further adding to the otherworldly atmosphere of the track.

The second offering on the A-side, Moongazer, explores more ambient, ethereal soundscapes, and contrasts these with a deeper, darker rhythm and bassline. Here, experiments with percussive sounds and sonic textures conjure feelings of abstract daydreams and late night moongazing. Subtle and skilful sound manipulation underpins the production; enticing the listener with dynamic stereo and equalisation techniques alongside constantly evolving soundscapes and minimal-inspired musings.

The closing track Sienna – which makes up the entire B-side of the record – moves things into darker, more dubbed out territories. Rhythm and texture combine through deep bass elements, analogue hiss and effects-driven noise recordings that bounce and echo amid a spacey, balearic-tinged moodscape. Throughout, the laid-back tempo, driving percussion and quietly cosmic pad atmospheres come together to induce feelings of beachey psychedelia and infectiously nostalgic grooves.

The vinyl for this release has been produced using eco-conscious materials and processes. The records are pressed on 100% recycled granulate in a zero-waste factory, with a recycled kraftpack sleeve and eco-friendly labels and ink. Vinyl is available directly from the artist/label or in all good record stores from September 23, 2022. Follow or get in touch with the artist for information on vinyl pre-orders.

To celebrate the inaugural ULTRA Beach Costa Del Sol, the event has teamed up with Ultra Records to release a collaborative compilation album. The ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 continues the long-standing tradition between the two dance music titans, who have repeatedly joined forces to curate the annual Ultra Music Festival Compilation Album.

The 20-track package includes singles from some of Ultra Records’ most talented producers, many of whom have taken center stage at ULTRA Worldwide events. The commemorative ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 takes listeners on a journey through different corners of the dance music canon, pulling together a tracklist with a diverse sonic palette.

The compilation includes two tracks by ULTRA Beach Costa Del performers – Oliver Heldens’ 90s-inspired remix of Solardo and Paul Woolford’s “Tear It Up,” and ACRAZE’s speaker-rattling collaboration alongside 4B “BANG BANG.”

The compilation also features breezy dance-pop cut “Summer in New York” by two-time Grammy-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER, who have performed at both Ultra Music Festival and ULTRA Europe.

Following his Ultra Music Festival debut last spring, high-tech minimal pioneer Boris Brejcha contributed his track “Never Stop Dancing,” a melodic techno-infused soundscape featuring Ginger.

Other compilation records include “FLOW” from hard-trap pioneers SAYMYNAME and Lit Lords, and “Save Me” from eclectic, innovative producer Party Favor.

The ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 is the perfect way to get psyched for the event’s first-ever edition. ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol will host two stages at the waterfront event; the ULTRA Beach Stage blasting out high-octane sounds, and the house and techno RESISTANCE Stage located at the Sohail Castle.

ULTRA Beach has welcomed tens of thousands of fans to festivals in exotic coastal locations around the world, from Croatia to Bali, so the picturesque oasis of Costa Del Sol is the natural next step for the worldwide brand’s continued expansion.
