We're thrilled to share our new release, titled 'Jacob's Ladder' which is the 2nd single of the upcoming album by the extremely talented Saxophonist, electronic producer and an established member of the Camel Riders family - ITAI, incl. remixes by Menachem 26, Saqib, Evan Hatfield.
ITAI's 'Jacob's Ladder' displays a cheerful nomadic Sax melody on a substrate of middle-eastern Darbuka percussions, enveloped with a deep pounding baseline and ritualistic vocals which create all together a mysterious and extremely profound journey. On remix duty, 1st we have the honor to welcome the Turkish producer Menachem 26 to our label, with his exquisite warm interpretation for ITAI's original, which exhibits a driving baseline and pleasurable acidic sounds that take over the original's Sax melodies. Coming up next we have the pleasure to have the Pakistan-born artist - Saqib on Camel Riders with his fresh version for Jacob's Ladder. In his remix, the Brooklyn based producer has made a trippy swirling twist to the vocals and fused the organic elements of the original with splendid synth riffs and a driving baseline, creating a fascinating combination of top notch House ranging from Deep to Organic with lots of Micro House elements in between. Last but not least we are happy to welcome the Los Angeles-based producer Evan Hatfield with his pumping version for Jacob's Ladder, which keeps the original's tempo and organic elements, with a slight spin that takes the listeners into a deeper state.
Here are some words by ITAI about the inspiration behind his wonderful original:
״After Flame of the Pine Cone 'I'm excited to share with you the #2 single of my upcoming album, titled "Jacob's Ladder". This track is based on the Arab folk tune "Ah Ya Zein" which means "What a beauty" and was made featuring the amazing vocals of Ali Paris. Much like Falafel, I Have been playing this tune in acoustic jams and jazz gigs forever, and wanted to make a version that can be played for the dance floor. I hope you'll like it!״
