Sol Selectas is one of the world’s premier organic house record labels, and they welcome back the excellent Namito for the imprint’s new release.
Namito is an Iranian artist whose track titled “Stone Flower” was one of Sol Selectas biggest hits and ever since then, he has been a firm favourite with fans of the record label. Stone Flower drew upon Namito’s Iranian roots and utilised lyrics from a song that is deeply rooted in the country’s cultural heritage.
“Legend” is the name of his new track and it also has Iranian vocals that are introduced in the breakdown. There is also a remix by fellow Iranian artists Shan Nash and Rebeat who together have created an upbeat and techy rework.
Shan Nash and Rebeat usually produce music separately. Shan Nash has made melodic house for labels such as Cafe De Anatolia plus Pipe & Poche. Rebeat has produced uptempo melodic techno for the likes of Dubfire’s SCI+TEC, but he has also released organic house via the likes of Kosa.
“Legend” kick-starts with an extended intro that gradually picks up momentum with the help of congas, a groovy bassline and tightly sequenced high-end percussion. Its delicate synths create an ethereal atmosphere that’s complemented by the angelic vocals.
The remix by Shan Nash & Rebeat adds a new pulsating bassline and new percussion that forms a more rigid foundation for the original’s vocal. It’s an energetic rework that seems to have been made with the dance floor and DJs in mind.
