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.

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.
