Yamil is a Sol Selectas favourite whose last EP for the label was made in collaboration with German Brigante. He has also featured tracks on numerous compilations, and this is his first solo EP for the label.

Based in Spain, Yamil's style is a fusion of dramatic percussion and mesmerising synth lines that give his tracks a compelling sound. Along with Sol Selectas, Yamil has also featured his music on other labels ranging from MoBlack to Super Flu's Monaberry.

On remix duty, Xinobi is a Portuguese artist from Lisbon whose downtempo style ranges from indie dance to Afro house and he delivers an Afro house rework in the style he has championed via his own imprint Discotexas.

Angelos is a rising Greek star of the Afro house scene whose sound is a fusion of heavy percussion and invigorating synth lines. This remix follows his releases on other respected labels such as Rebellion, Saved Records, Madorasindahouse and Pets Recordings.

Derun are a Turkish organic house duo who have featured on numerous Sol Selectas releases along with other imprints ranging from 3000 Grad Records to Cosmic Awakenings, and their remix is in a sun-drenched style that blends flowing percussion and enchanting melodies.

"La Flor Colorada" is first of the three original tracks, and it opens the release with ethereal pads and vocal chants that are layered with upbeat percussion to create spinetingling atmosphere.

"Naidi" is laid-back track with a deep bassline and soothing flute combined with delicate vocal tones, poignant piano, and shuffling percussion.

Xinobi's remix of "Naidi" adds percussion with downbeat rhythms that give the track that stomping Afro groove. He also makes more prominent use of the original's piano chords while adding a complementary synth that has uplifting tones.

"Sanctuary" is a downtempo track with tense synths and vibrant percussion layered with mystical flutes that create a nomadic groove with desert vibes.

Angelos' remix of "Sanctuary" lifts the tempo and adds new synths plus makes more prominent use of the sitar style instrument and vocals from the original's spiritual breakdown.

Derun also remix "Sanctuary" and their up-tempo version adds psychedelic guitar licks and fast-paced percussion to fill the track with invigorating energy.
