Solide 028 Kicks Off with a Bang. We proud to announce that the label’s latest release, has already made waves on the global dance floor, thanks to early support from none other than Keinemusik and DJ Koze.
Fresh off his debut success with label VOD, rising electronic virtuoso AYOUBYME returns with an entrancing new chapter, unveiling Nokolela via the imprint SOLIDE.
At its core, Nokolela is propelled by a hypnotic arpeggio that spirals like a celestial clockwork, evolving with precision as layers of synth textures bloom. This mesmerizing backbone weaves a sonic tapestry that feels both introspective and expansive, a journey through pulsating rhythms that command the body while igniting the imagination.
Juxtaposing the arp’s fluidity, abrupt piano chords slice through the mix with raw, emotional urgency. The vocals, floating atop the production, evolving into ghostly harmonies feel like a choir of seraphs, bathing the track in a transcendent glow that lingers long after the final note.
AYOUBYME’s artistry shines in his ability to balance technical intricacy with visceral feeling. Nokolela is neither purely a dance floor weapon nor a passive meditation: it’s both, a duality that mirrors life’s own contrasts.
KEKURA RETOUCH
The story doesn’t end there. For the release, KEKURA steps in to reimagine Nokolela with a club-ready retouch, amplifying its DNA for peak-time euphoria. Honoring the original’s essence, KEKURA locks onto the arp’s hypnotic groove and the piano’s emotional grit, then reforges them into a seismic foundation built for big speakers. Punchy basslines carve out a rhythmic underbelly, while crisp percussion and widened dynamics transform the track into a dancefloor titan.
Stream Nokolela on SOLIDE’s platforms now, and let AYOUBYME’s alchemy of arps, piano, and voice remind you that even in electronic music’s coldest machines, a heartbeat still thrives.
