Joe Silva - Solstice (Purespace Recordings)

Winnipeg-based producer Joe Silva is no stranger to alert electronic music aficionados, releasing through his Purespace imprint since 1995 and contributing to the likes of Viva!, Nordic Trax, and Stickman. Silva specializes in an organic approach to synthetic sounds resulting in music that’s consistently warm, forward-looking, and groovy. New sounds from Joe Silva are always a cause for celebration, both on and off the dance floor.

"Solstice" is a punchy late-night treat, touching down within the Venn Diagram connecting techno, deep house, and tech-house. A tight bass-and-rhythm track gives nightclub speakers a workout as spacious chords, percussive hits, and lush atmospherics enter and exit the fray. An electronic piano appears, offering jazzy riffs before an effects-filled breakdown lifts the track skyward. A snazzy Dub version is also provided, giving DJs a sparse but flowing mix that's a tad techier and more than suitable for dark rooms needing moody vibes.
