NEW RELEASES
This EP is a deep and evocative conversation between poetry and rhythm, introspection and motion. It emerges from a cross-continental dialogue: Lazarusman, South Africa’s unmistakable voice of deep house and electronic poetry, meets King Ben, the Swiss producer known for his intricate and deeply textured productions.
At the core of this EP is Lazarusman, a trailblazing spoken-word artist and lyrical force whose words have become anthems for some of the most respected names in the underground scene. With collaborations spanning across global electronic music, his voice brings gravity, meaning, and an unmistakable presence to every track he graces.
Sounds of Khemit proudly unveils Nirvaan, the upcoming EP from Kakura, an electrifying release that weaves together dark, and hypnotic elements into an immersive sonic journey.
This three-track EP is an exploration of tension, atmosphere, and deep spiritual resonance. Each piece in Nirvaan showcases Kakura’s meticulous attention to sonic storytelling, blending cinematic soundscapes with driving grooves.
- "Nirvaan" builds on a powerful push-and-pull dynamic, with lush chords rising higher and higher, creating an irresistible tension that keeps listeners entranced.
- "Maha" ventures into darker territories, drawing inspiration from minimal techno while incorporating spiritual and ethereal ethnic vocals.

Dropping soon, this EP marks the first step in an exciting journey of genre-bending innovation and creative fusion for the two Artists leading into 2025.The story behind the music is as inspiring as the tracks themselves. Last February, Wild Dark and Arianno shared an unforgettable three-week creative retreat in Westchester, NY. Amidst jam sessions, sonic experiments, and countless cups of coffee, they discovered a shared musical language that transcended genres. The result? Two electrifying tracks!
"Magma" has become one of Roderic’s most celebrated tracks, lighting up dancefloors around the world with its deep, pulsating rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes. The track’s seamless fusion of organic and electronic elements has made it a staple in DJ sets globally, leaving an indelible mark on audiences.
The Remixes:
- Sydka & Bawab, the dynamic duo known for their innovative blend of deep house and melodic techno, deliver a stunning remix that infuses "Magma" with a fresh wave of energy, adding intricate layers and driving basslines to create a dancefloor weapon.
- Nhii, label boss and a force in the melodic house and deep house scenes, brings his signature sound to the track. His remix elevates "Magma" into a transcendent journey, blending ethereal textures with deep, rolling grooves that speak to Nhii’s masterful production style.
Sounds of Khemit is proud to announce its latest Various Artist Compilation, which draws inspiration from the enigmatic figure of Medjed, an Egyptian deity known for his mysterious powers and cloaked presence. Launching on October 25th, this release reflects the deep, transcendent qualities that have made Medjed a fascinating symbol of the unseen and the divine.
The music in this compilation mirrors the attributes of Medjed—cloaked in mystery, yet capable of delivering powerful, transformative energy. Medjed's ability to act swiftly and invisibly resonates through the compilation's blend of deep house, melodic house, and indie dance, invoking an immersive, hypnotic soundscape. Like Medjed, who is both hidden and forceful, the tracks effortlessly fuse subtle atmospheric layers with striking melodic elements, creating a sonic journey that captures both the seen and unseen dimensions of sound.
As a protector and warrior figure in ancient Egyptian mythology, Medjed's association with sudden bursts of power and light aligns with the musical intensity found in this collection. Each artist has drawn on this energy, imbuing their tracks with intricate rhythms and ethereal melodies that flow like the Nile, offering moments of peace and introspection as well as dynamic intensity.
In line with Sounds of Khemit’s tradition of connecting ancient mythology with modern sounds, this compilation not only celebrates Medjed’s legacy but also serves as a testament to the label’s vision of bridging ancient wisdom and contemporary electronic music.
Prepare to be transported to the realm of the unseen when the compilation is released across all digital platforms on October 25th.
