Sol Selectas is a US label headed up by Sabo whose ethos of spiritual wellbeing and cultural diversity runs through the very foundation of the imprints music policy.

Focused towards house music, often with melodic elements and rich percussive textures, the label has a strong sense of community and has featured contributions from the likes of Blond:ish, UNER, Acid Pauli and Nicola Cruz plus many others.

Each year Sol Selectas releases its mammoth Summer Sol compilation on the day of the summer solstice, which according to astronomy, is the year’s longest day of sunshine. The 2018 Summer Sol compilation is the third in the series, and there is already big expectations with the first two having both charted as top selling releases on Beatport.

Featuring on Summer Sol III is new music from Sabo himself along with tracks by Sol Selectas regulars such as Armen Miran, Canson, and Amentia, plus artists like Fatoumata and Ali Kuru, who are both making their debut on the label.

Outside of Sol Selectas the artists included on this various artist compilation have featured on more labels than it’s possible to mention, but many of the artists have featured imprints like KATERMUKKE, Chapter 24 Records, Bar 25 Music, Crosstown Rebels and Parquet Recordings.

Each of the tracks are a short musical tale that makes up a part of the overall story being told by the LP, and embracing cultural diversity features vocal samples and lyrics from eight different languages.

Some of the tracks are down tempo electronica and others are peak time house music, but each has its own special part of the dance floor. The artwork is also an important part of Sol Selectas, as its design is carefully curated by Sabo’s fiancé Helia Jamali who captures the sound of each release with her stylish art design.
