Warm Ears Music continues to expand its roster as they release a new single, “Solar” from German producer Deskai.
Deskai produces a wide array of electronic music but is no stranger to the DnB scene; he’s been bringing his atmospheric and jungle inspired creations to life in his Berlin based studio since 2005, where he is also a Mix & Mastering Engineer.
“Solar” is a two-track single within which Deskai captures two distinct and recognisable moods from the early days; laid back Jazz infused Breakbeats, and soulful yet reflective Drum & Bass. These are not peak energy, hard hitting tunes; rather they are carefully constructed grooves reminiscent of the intelligent DnB era.
Whilst the label loves big dance floor tunes, they will always represent the roots of the genre. Warm Ears Music is always looking to shine light on music that inspires, which Deskai brings in bags.
