Dharma by German Brigante
Sol Selectas welcomes back German Brigante for his first solo EP on the label, a four track journey featuring two remixes by Namito and Rodrigo Gallardo.
The Dharma EP is inspired by German’s love for India, and his extensive travels throughout this beautiful land. He found the sounds of India with sitars and tablas, to be very similar to his own flamenco roots from Andalusia, and the fusion of these two cultures is the foundation for the EP.
“Rabba’ is a downtempo chill out tune, mixing both Hindu and Flamenco elements. On the remix we have long time friend of Sol Selectas, Rodrigo Gallardo. Rodrigo ups the tempo a bit and adds his signature elements of mystical Andes sounds, a perfect combination to the enchanting vocals.
“Khooli Rah” is a fun playful dance floor tune mixing tabla percussion with disco elements and Moroder-esque arpeggios. German recorded his own voice into the session in order to create the melodies for the synths, which play along with the Vocals.
“Parvati Man” comes from the goddess of Love - Parvati, the wife of Shiva. This is the most melodic and musical track of the EP, with gorgeous pads and chords complimenting the lush vocals. Namito’s remix elevates the original expertly chopping and gating the vocals into a new rhythm. The long percussive breakbeat interlude is a subtle ode to the 90s, a time when both German and Namito got their start in music.
“Mahesha”means the Great God who is Shiva, and this tune is the most powerful of the four, thusly named after the most powerful God. Sitar strings and spine-tingling percussion along with a high energy build up, makes this track explode onto the crowd.
Helia Jamali’s artwork glorifies the sacred cow of India, with colorful flowers and dancing spirits in the sun soaked mountains.
