Globemaster (SXDNS153) & Onda Avital’s upcoming release on Mexico’s vibrant Kyma Komplex label is a hypnotic ode to the enigmatic allure of desert landscapes. Blending Indie Dance with immersive sonic textures, the Mexican duo crafts a soundscape that channels both the serenity and raw energy of distant terrains. Their collaboration merges rhythmic precision with atmospheric depth, creating a sonic voyage that feels both expansive and intimately connected to the earth. By drawing inspiration from the Sahara – a region far removed from their own roots – the artists pay tribute to its cultural mystique, bridging geographical divides through pulsating beats and ethereal harmonies. “Esfinge” promises to transport listeners, merging introspection with the unrelenting drive of dance-floor-ready energy.

Premiered here, “Lost In The Sahara” embodies intensity and trippy transcendence. Built on a foundation of gritty, driving rhythms, the song layers distorted synths and haunting vocal echoes to evoke the disorienting vastness of desert dunes. Its power lies in the tension between chaos and control – explosive percussion crashes against spiraling melodic loops, creating a visceral, almost primal energy. Yet subtle nods to North African musical motifs, like hypnotic string-like tones and staggered cadences, anchor the track in its thematic inspiration. Both a homage and a reinvention, the theme reflects the duo’s ability to transform cultural reverence into a universal, body-moving experience.

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