Another psychedelic trip lands on the fruitful catalogue of Fértil Discos, this time from the creative and insubordinate mind of Ohad Slavin, a composer, musician, and producer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Don’t think he restrains himself to his Middle East influences, though; his sonority knows no boundaries and encompasses streaks whose origins can be traced back to many different corners scattered throughout this little and dainty blue dot of ours.

With well-received appearances on vital Balearic/Downtempo imprints such as kosa, trndmsk, Amselcom, Cafe De Anatolia, Forward Music, Digital Diamonds, and Conexa Records, Ohad debuts on Fértil with “Yesodot” (“elements” in Hebrew), a four-track (one of them featuring Armenian opera singer Gayane Sahakyan) immersive journey into his rich and multicultural soundscape.

Premiered here, “Avir” enchants with a plural and deep combination of ingredients: ethereal vocal stabs, exciting marimba layers, and groovy percussive elements result in a true sensorial experience. It cannot go unmentioned that this is the first release from a non-Latin American artist on the Argentinean label. Kudos!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.

Follow Ohad Slavin and Fértil, peeps!
