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.
Inspiration Behind the Tracks:Balam / Kup Suz is steeped in the rich history and storytelling traditions of the Tatar people. The Tatar language, central to these songs, adds an element of cultural preservation, paying homage to Dyshat’s roots while addressing timeless themes of freedom, self-reflection, and resilience. Through this EP, Bulat and Dyshat blend ancient influences with modern electronic sounds, crafting a sonic journey that invites listeners to explore the depths of their own inner landscapes.
El Piano is a unique and captivating collection that showcases Nhii's versatility and deep-rooted passion for music. The EP features recorded vocals and piano melodies captured during Nhii's travels through Colombia, offering a rich tapestry of sounds that pay homage to the vibrant Latin Jazz scene of the 1970s. This playful yet profound EP is characterized by its melodic, jazzy piano chords and riffs, seamlessly intertwined with punchy basslines, creating an immersive listening experience.Adding an extra layer of excitement, "El Piano" comes with a dynamic remix by the Berlin-based duo Madota. Known for their innovative approach to electronic music, Madota's remix elevates the original tracks with their signature style, ensuring the EP appeals to a broad audience of electronic music aficionados.
"Mujer Inalcanzable" draws its inspiration from a Turkish classical song of the 1970s, a cherished genre and era that resonates deeply with Bákayan. The track began with a haunting melody, later embellished with rhythmic percussion layers. The decision to infuse this composition with Spanish vocals was intuitive, driven by the emotional connection felt between the language and the melodic groove.
