Tha MESSAGE - ABICAH SOUL PROJECT v5 *deep rumble in da jungle* mix 2026 * FREE HI RES DOWNLOAD * Skender Makota daBALKANIMAL & DJ STAX Chicago original For a few years back in 2000's I've had the pleasure and honor to share an apt and studio on Taylor St. in Little Italy hood of Near South Side Chicago, with a talented and totally underrated Chicago gem, yet well known throughout the industry and even more respected as a unique producer of real house music, DJ STAX aka Abicah Soul Project! AbicahSoul Recordings is a record label founded in 1999 and operated by DJ and electronic music producer AbicahSoul. Based in Chicago,Illinois,AbicahSoul is a division of the Lavish Electronic Ltd Music GmbH. Abicah founded Abicah Soul Recordings in order to open a new dance platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music.. DJ Stax (aka Abicah Soul ) grew up in Chicago during the days of the Warehouse and Muzic Box, and his deejay sets and production—like those of friends Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Paul Johnson, and Gene Hunt—are heavily influenced by the pioneering work of Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy. He began deejaying in 1983, when he was only 12 years old, and has been a staple in the Chi-town rave and club scene ever since, holding residencies at Smartbar, Club4, and Ohm and doing weekly radio gigs for WNUR 89.3 and prepartyradio.com. As a producer, Stax has landed releases on Classic, Jellybean, Nite Life Collective, Rush Hour, Wha? Roots, and several other labels. An in-demand remixer, he has given tracks by Telepopmusik, Osunlade, Glenn Underground, and No Assembly Required (Dan X and Justin Long) the “Abicah” treatment. His signature soulful, deeply-rooted yet edgy afro-latin sound—evidenced by recent tracks such as “Musique de Ve” (Eargasmic) Being roommates and living together, we made house music from the early mornings to late nights and did a lot of cool recordings which I never had a chance to finish.. Doing it now :) Check back for more!

Amazing Tracks for the new era in music, for the more sophisticated human... Co-produced originally by Bojan Miljancic, who put in a lot of effort to help her get the album out and made the original album mix full of space for her voice to breathe emotion! Very gentleman and elegant way to approach modern day mixing - actually leaving space for your talent, vocalist with precious voice tone, and music to tell a story, not shove it down your throat (or ears in this case..) jasminamusic.com for more info ℗ Intek Music Released on: 2025-01-24 Producer: Bojan Miljančić Composer: Jasmina Makota Lyricist: Jasmina Makota

I Bada BEAT U Bada BOOM - Skender Makota daBalkanimal - v2 2026 jam original by Skender Makota daBalkanimal with Dr Sehu on the sax! Just a random jammy jam with my friend on a sax years ago, he was my neighbor too, we often played jazz etc., but had this beat going that time, so we recorded it and that's that :) Note how sweet that Selmer sounds. usually i'm not too hot on the whole dj/sax live thing, usually makes me wanna murder someone from the pentatonic overload over everything, 15 mins into the set... but this is fine. Not an overkill... My friend is not a douche, continuously masturbating the horn. P1lus the sound.. Always buy high quality instruments ppl.. resale is the same, and you get to use the top quality instrument on your recordings.

QUIETUDE - Skender Makota & Henry Ellis - v1 original track from the early 2000's, part of unreleased sessions with my friend and college roommate, talented Henry Ellis. Originally written back in 2001 while we were both attending Berklee College of Music in Boston and shared the apt, but instead of doing school work and theory, we made smoked errrbz and made da BEETZ! Hence the 90s / 2000s sound (I actually miss a lot..) Reason was brand new, a revelation and we both spent hours just making new sounds with tools that were unavailable up to that point, hardware took time to set up, music software was barely coming out and other than recording and editing programs (Protools, Cubase etc), there were no programs not nearly as friendly as Reason AND REBIRTH (lets not forget..), where we could come up with few songs per day using the simple and intuitive virtual rack mimicking studio gear hardware in the rack, but in one 100/th of time and effort and at home... Sounded muddy etc, but then we import into Protools etc, it could be cleared up and other stuff added.. The importance of making the idea and recording it, so it doesn't fade was SO IMPORTANT, it really changed what I intended to do in life, as far as music.... which was compose, perform, produce and engineer and when I'd get bored, or needed a break, the acoustical INSTRUMENTS were always there, and JAZZ Theory etc is really a gift that keeps in giving... but electronic music was the path I'd go with! NEW and unknown... I still play piano, guitar, bass etc, but music creation software (unlike empty multi-tracker like Protools) was a game changer! We did a lot of great stuff together and while I usually try to stay cool when I see a great player, composer or musician in general, Henry left me speechless with the talent he possessed, but while struggling with personal demons which only made him immerse more in music creation. We lost touch, but I will look him up hopefully and reconnect, upload more tracks from those days of Reason 1, Rebirth and Protools replacing our SSL board (hated and loved the change, still... miss those faders..) The world was unknown and internet just taking hold yet we were happy... it seems kids nowadays don't get to experience such historical shifts (from analog to digital for ex), but hey: I am yet again surrounded by MOOGS so there ya go!

Very Ellery - Skender Makota daBalkanimal feat. Legendary Chicago DJ Ellery Cowles original by Skender Makota just a random track I recorded years ago hanging out with my buddy Ellery Cowles, a Chicago DJ legend and the man who simply is unable to be upset about anything, rather he smiles through life and brings the positive vibes and great beats wherever he goes!
