Marasi 'Yanni feat. DeMarin' on Sol Selectas
Sol Selectas continues its striking run of releases in 2024 with 'Yanni', a collaboration between Marasi and DeMarin that lands with a warm, organic feel just in time for the northern hemisphere's longest days. The track arrives on 21 June, perfectly aligned with the Summer Solstice, and has already found favour with tastemakers like Sabo, who placed it second in his Summer Solstice Chart, a list where ten of the twenty records come from Sol Selectas itself.
"Yanni" is built on Marasi's signature fusion of organic textures and Afro-tinged rhythms, with DeMarin's vocal adding a soulful, reflective layer. The track unfolds with a patient, rolling groove, shimmering percussion and a deep, subby pulse that feels both meditative and danceable. It's a piece that nods to the label's ethos of music that connects the spiritual and the physical, offering a moment of introspection on the dancefloor.
