Kayi Love (Original Mix) - Hamza Rahimtula

Every once in a while, an artist pours in their heart & soul on a particular piece of musical literature to help it stand the fickle test of time. The next release on Wind Horse Records is as special to the label itself as it is to Hamza - a producer whose aural boundaries have no end. The label's motivator and driving force decided to step up to the plate with an LP that's been inspired by his travels to the mystical and spiritual land of the Ottomans. The 10-track offering has been created using samples/instruments that are unique to Turkey and reflect Hamza's artistic prowess to spin aural fables by weaving different tapestries made up of the fabrics of indigenous sounds.
Hamza goes deliciously deep for the next tune - "Kayi Love", a track that refuses to let up the frenzied energy that the album has helped build-up to so far. More electronic than organic, the track begins with a simple yet punchy bassline that b2b's extremely well with the drum patterns on offer. Coupled with traditional melodic loops and snappy percussion and a dubtastic mood, that track has a more modernistic approach to house music in the year 2020. Lush synth overtones and harmonics accompany the cascade of ethnic sounds to help craft a divine vibe that can easily overwhelm or move any dance-floor. "Kayi Love" also illustrates Hamza's soulful side, lending the listener an insight into the mind of the producer and the emotions he wants to translate.
Thus, by weaving Turkish musical inspirations and sounds with their Indian counterparts, Banjara Series (Turkey) LP by Hamza is certainly one of his most accomplished works.
