Sacred – Yoruba Soul Mixes by Ayala (IT), Osunlade
Sol Selectas is proud to present “Sacred – The Yoruba Soul Mixes”, a remix single featuring two interpretations of Ayala (IT)’s song “Sacred Piano”, created by Osunlade, a well respected music producer and DJ for over 30 years.
The Yoruba Soul Mix slowly builds with raw guitar, off kilter organic percussions, beautiful keys, and a deep bass line. The saxophones weave in and out backed by soothing flutes, and then, when the pianos from the Sacred original appear, we have the ultimate musical climax.
The Yoruba Cleanse mix strips back the pads and key crescendos, gradually filtering in the piano licks, and leaving us with 6 and half minutes of pure Afro groove.
Osunlade is a verified legend in the deep soulful house community, and was one of the pioneers of what is now labeled as “organic house”. His music has been released on countless respected labels, including many classics on his own label – Yoruba Records. His sound and artistic vision continues to inspire Sol Selectas, and we are simply honored to have him featured here with these 2 expertly done remixes.
Helia Jamali’s cover art “remixes” her own original work, perfectly matching the tribal vibe and quality of this special release.
