Darem Aissa is back on his label Suleiman Records with a deep tech EP featuring two original tracks, and an assortment of remixes by Cesare vs Disorder, Tadeo Catzin and Jerome.c.
Based in Canada, Darem Aissa has used Suleiman as the main outlet for his own music, which combines techy percussion with immersive atmospherics and deep synths. His stripped back style has become a trademark of Suleiman, which has also featured original music from other artists such as DoubtingThomas, Nima Gorji and Alexi Delano.
Cesare vs Disorder returns to Suleiman after previously releasing two solo EPs via the imprint. His remix on this release is a dark and trippy deep tech track in the style he has featured on other labels such as Rawax, Cocoon, Pleasure Zone and Vakant.
Tadeo Catzin is a regular on Suleiman, following a solo release and previous remixes for the record label. He has a deep and mesmerising style with psychedelic undertones, and his remix is another fine example of his sound.
Jerome.c is last of the remix artists, and he makes his Suleiman debut with his music also released on imprints such as Abartik, Pirka and TAKE A TRIP. He has a percussive and minimal style with intricate rhythms layered over atmospheric synths.
“Phase 3” is a cinematic track with pulsating percussion and a sensual female vocal layered with ominous bass chords that contrast with its uplifting pads. The upbeat drum patterns ensure the track remains dance floor focused, while the spellbinding atmosphere captures the imagination.
Cesare vs Disorder’s remix of “Phase 3” switches up the groove with breakbeat rhythms and a new bassline full of funk. He keeps the original’s vocals and adds ominous bass stabs that fill his version with tension.
“Dream” has deep bass chords and a chunky kick drum that lays a foundation for gliding pads and a trippy Spanish vocal sample. Shimmering ride cymbals and other fast-paced percussion ensure upbeat energy that underpins the hallucinatory atmospherics.
Tadeo Catzin’s remix of “Dream” works in a new acid bassline and thickens the percussion to create a more rigid groove with an injection of energy.
Jerome.c’s remix of “Dream” adds new pads and removes the original’s vocal and bassline. He works in new percussion that becomes the track’s prominent feature, and creates a whole new groove with shuffling rhythms.
