Rockka – Black Sands [SLC-6 Music]

D.J. MacIntyre's SLC-6 Music continues a strong fourth quarter by showcasing new interpretations of Rockka's 'Black Sands'. Hailing from Sri Lanka, Rockka aka Lakith Adikaram has been releasing his own unique style of progressive music for the better part of three years. Making his mark through a series of Droid9 releases featuring deep and atmospheric grooves, Rockka demonstrated his mastery, paving the way for a notable ascent early in his career. Although younger than most of his contemporaries, the Nugegoda resident impressed going forward, quickly landing projects with Balkan Connection, Clubsonica, Mango Alley, RKP and Yomo Records. SLC-6 Music has also been a comfortable landing spot for Rockka, with two originals and a remix released across 2023, one of those being 'Black Sands' which was part of the SIX: Stage-16 collection. Now, looking to inject new life into the track, SLC-6 calls upon Nicolas Benedetti, Dr Green and Matias Vega to re-imagine the production in their own essence.

The first interpretation finds Nicolas Benedetti returning to the label for his sixth appearance. Known for his smooth progressive style, the Buenos Aires resident re-models 'Black Sands' in fine fashion, maintaining the dark drive of the original while adding his own chunky cadence and lively melodic top lines. Sri Lankan artist and label A&R Dr Green is next and he brings greater depth to the track with his cross-cultural style. Subversive vocal phrasing and timely instrumentation give the mix his own inimitable stamp, while a powerful low end and stunning effects narrative provide all the dancefloor magic you could ever want. Rounding out the release with his second SLC-6 appearance is Argentinean talent Matias Vega who arrives following an EP for Suza Records. The Catamarca resident brings a nostalgic approach with a series of buzzing chord stabs and panoramic effects which ultimately power this peak-time gem.
