Premiere: Amir Telem – Goloka (Ruben Karapetyan Remix)[Movement Recordings]

by Admin June 2, 2022

Rounding out the month of May, Tash’s Movement Recordings welcomes Amir Telem back to the label for his debut EP. Famed for releases via EIN2, Harabe, Kindisch and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, Israeli artist Amir Telem has continued to delight fans with his unique take on organic house and melodic house & techno. His spiritual creations have also found a place on Movement Recordings, with two appearances on the label’s popular ‘Technical Progress’ series. Now returning to Movement for his first and much anticipated EP, Amir unveils ‘Goloka‘, alongside remixes from Ruben Karapetyan and Da Luka & Jorgio Kioris.

Providing the lone interpretation of ‘Goloka‘ is Ruben Karapetyan who returns to the label for his sixth appearance. Having reinvigorated his career following a ten-year hiatus, Armenian born, USA based artist Ruben Karapetyan has found favour amongst progressive music tastemakers and fans alike. His ethno-inspried take on the genre has flourished on Movement Recordings, with six originals and one remix released across the last eighteen months. Now, following standout offerings via Balkan Connection and Mango Alley, Ruben returns to Movement with a groovy take on ‘Goloka‘. Taking inspiration from the original, Ruben flexes his free-thinking muscles and crafts a version that lands comfortably between the surreal and exotic. Neatly manicured percussion and a smooth, hip-swinging groove set the course for layers of harmonic colour, which ultimately provides a bridge into the main break. Coming to full fruition across the centrepiece, tension rises through dancing arps, grandiose chord changes and drum driven drama, while never letting go of its tranquil vibration and smoothly pushing onwards to a glowing, vocal infused finale.

Release Date: 3 June 2021.
