From berlin germany, the brother trio Sant┌ has hit House and Techno floors
alike in a time where only good electric dance music is mentioned. With a couple
of Epªs for Rekids and Souvenir, their productions have cracked into the sets of
Radioslave, Luciano, Loco Dice, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer or Anja Schneider.
Relocating to Berlin, Philipp took over fine-tuning for Tiefschwarz in the
studio and start touring the world with his brothers as a liveact (WMC,
Watergate, Sonar, Fabricα). Their new EP on Souvenir, "Dambalaa" has every
element, which we can expect of a summer anthem. The sun, the style and the
soul! The opening four-to-the-floor beat of the original version set the
soundscape. Yes, we are talking about House music, but the kind of House that
speaks not only to the feet but also to the mind. Are we slaves to our beliefs?
Straight from the heart and soul, the sad and harrowing lyrics of "Dambalaa"
backed up by some introspective keynotes stands for an obvious invitation to
think about the insignificance of human beings. But loyal to the House music
tenet, the Sant┌ brothers believe in the primacy of the present time, give an
irresistible ethno twist to their production, blown away by Pan-pipes and
African chants and turns the dance-floor into a new heaven. "In the seventh
day", we might be still dancing on "Dambalaa". On the B-side, the percussion-led
"Dub" version brings the bass-line and the rolling drum on the forefront and
adds extensive echo and reverb effects. Few well placed dubbed haunting vocals
and piano samples are all what it takes to make of "Dambalaa" a true stomper!
