About this product
Melbourne-based producer Rami Imam unveils 'Safara', the latest on his own tag Ponda Records, which he founded in 2020 as a for his cross-cultural sound explorations. Drawing from the rich traditions of the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, 'Safara' is a six-track odyssey of energetic and euphoric house and disco house, deeply rooted in both nostalgia and innovation. 'Safara' is the culmination of Imam's immersion into the golden eras of global music, channeling the soulful rhythms and melodies of Afro-Funk, West African Highlife, Arab Disco, Bollywood, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Libyan Reggae, and Algerian Rai. By blending these timeless influences with a modern, dancefloor-oriented focus, Imam creates a sound that is both steeped in history and refreshingly new.With a sonic palette that includes iconic synths such as the Juno 106, Super 6, SH 101, Moog Model D, and the 303, Imam weaves the analog warmth of these instruments into rich, modern productions. Piano and strings-his favorite classical instruments-add an organic layer of emotional depth, connecting the pulse of the dancefloor with the timeless elegance of traditional composition.'Safara' is more than a collection of tracks; it is a journey across continents and eras, where the pulse of the past meets the driving force of the present. Recorded in Melbourne but influenced by sounds from around the world, 'Safara' invites listeners to traverse vast musical landscapes-from the hypnotic grooves of North African rhythms to the sun-drenched melodies of Mediterranean shores-culminating in a transportive experience that lingers long after the final beat fades. By balancing the ancient with the futuristic, Imam has crafted a record that feels both comfortingly familiar and daringly innovative. 'Safara' is a testament to the endless possibilities of blending cultures, genres, and eras into something that is

Highly respected Brooklyn-based record store Archivio Records launches it's flagship tag, with the help of legendary UK Tech House pioneer Affie Yusuf. This remarkable four track EP made up of previously unheard and unreleased gems, captured from DATs long thought lost during the mid-90s golden era of Swag Records, Wiggle, Surreal and co. Delivers four distinct tracks, perfectly curated to suit the mood of the most discerning dance floors, at any time of the night!'Uba Cuba' sees Affie transport you to pre-Revolution Havana, where the rum flowed and the good times rolled. A playful Latin-infused tech house roller, this track is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone on the dance floor! For the first track under his Parkwalker alias, 'Pashtwo' is a decidedly deeper and darker excursion with a driving bassline, trippy vocals and a constant forward motion, perfect for those moments when you have the crowd really locked in. 'Urgez Untold', the second Parkwalker contribution to the EP is an airy, groovy journey designed for those after hours moments when the sunlight is creeping in and the crowd is ready to let it all go in the pursuit of euphoria. Hypnotic bass, ethereal synths and bouncy, tropical drums give this one a universal appeal and a timeless feel. Finally, 'Ode Reticular' is Affie Yusuf at his brilliant, inventive best, crafting an epic track with three distinct phases. Starting as a dubby minimal chugger before morphing in to a quirky, playful tech house roller, then final chapter sprinkles mystical progressive elements to take you to another dimension, without ever needing to lose your spot on the dance floor.An essential for lovers of the early UK Tech house sound, seeking out undiscovered gems from the glory days of mid-90s London. With future releases featuring Mark Ambrose, Pure Science, Carl Finlow and more, this is a tag to watch closely and
