Two tracks. Endless depth. Mild existential awakening optional.

Just in time for summer sunsets and over-thought playlists, Raw Main returns to Sounds of Khemit with Water’s Edge — a two-track EP that manages to sound both ancient and fresh, like it was produced in a Himalayan monastery with fiber internet.

Featuring “Seaside” and “Crystal Clear”, the release channels Raw Main’s signature blend of organic grooves, mystic melodies, and just enough reverb to keep your chakras vibrating. It's lush, it’s layered, and if you close your eyes hard enough, you might even see visions of ADE dancefloors and overpriced smoothies in Tulum.  Drawing from his recent travels and a few airports' worth of inspiration, Raw Main dips into new sonic waters while keeping that signature polish that’s made him a darling of the melodic elite.

Of course, Raw Main is no stranger to the label. His remix of Nhii & Sarkis Mikael’s “Synthronize” was basically everywhere for a minute, and his ADE 2023 showcase set reminded us all that, yes, deep house can still make you levitate. When he’s not hanging out on SoK, you’ll find him over at All Day I Dream, Lost Miracle, and other labels with vaguely poetic names and serious melodic credentials.

Water’s Edge isn’t reinventing the genre—just refining it, with that unmistakable Raw Main touch: dreamy, deliberate, and just cryptic enough to make it onto your friend’s “introspective bangers” playlist.

Inspired by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, “The Color of Sound” is more than a musical release—it's a metaphysical invocation of sound, space, and spirit. True to the Sounds of Khemit ethos, the EP links ancient mysticism with cutting-edge sonic design, pushing deep house and melodic dance music into new dimensions.
Tracklist:

1. The 3 VCO Getdown
   A bold opener, this track uses three heavily detuned Moog-style voltage-controlled oscillators to create a hypnotic, pulsing lead. The result is a gritty, cosmic anthem made for peak-time dance floors—vibrating with raw analog energy and arpeggiated tension.‍
2. The Color of Sound
   The title track is a tribute to Sun Ra’s Seductive Fantasy, sampling his enigmatic voice with permission. Warm pads and spaced-out textures form a lush backdrop for a reverberating spoken-word meditation—blurring the boundaries between time, genre, and groove.
3. Butterflies & Trumpets
   Closing the EP with playful elegance, this tune glides on trumpet lines modulated by randomized LFOs and layered with plucky wavetable synths. It's a dance between organic texture and digital chaos, fluttering like the name implies.

This EP is a deep and evocative conversation between poetry and rhythm, introspection and motion. It emerges from a cross-continental dialogue: Lazarusman, South Africa’s unmistakable voice of deep house and electronic poetry, meets King Ben, the Swiss producer known for his intricate and deeply textured productions.

At the core of this EP is Lazarusman, a trailblazing spoken-word artist and lyrical force whose words have become anthems for some of the most respected names in the underground scene. With collaborations spanning across global electronic music, his voice brings gravity, meaning, and an unmistakable presence to every track he graces.

Sounds of Khemit proudly unveils Nirvaan, the upcoming EP from Kakura, an electrifying release that weaves together dark, and hypnotic elements into an immersive sonic journey.

This three-track EP is an exploration of tension, atmosphere, and deep spiritual resonance. Each piece in Nirvaan showcases Kakura’s meticulous attention to sonic storytelling, blending cinematic soundscapes with driving grooves.

• "Nirvaan" builds on a powerful push-and-pull dynamic, with lush chords rising higher and higher, creating an irresistible tension that keeps listeners entranced.
• "Maha" ventures into darker territories, drawing inspiration from minimal techno while incorporating spiritual and ethereal ethnic vocals.
• "Mystere" captivates with an eerie, rising lead that adds an unsettling edge, counterbalanced by a playful "plinky" lead that emerges after the drop, delivering contrast and depth.
