The first Global Vibe Radio mix of 2020 comes from Miami’s Rony Seikaly, who provided us with a Live recording of his 2019 DISTRIKT set at Burning Man.
The set features only his own productions, including tracks released on his very own recently-launched Stride Records label. The latest EP from Rony Seikaly, Set My Body, is out January 10th on Stride and can be pre-ordered on Beatport HERE.
Despite early sporting success as an NBA basketball star, music has always been Rony Seikaly’s passion. The Lebanese/American DJ and producer has played every major club worldwide and has shared the stage with luminaries such as Marco Carola, Damian Lazarus, Guy Gerber to name a few.
Since 2010, he has released on labels including Suara, Saved, Yoshitoshi Recordings and many more. Last year he began his own Stride Records imprint, and continues to run his radio show ‘Sugar Free Radio’, now in its sixth year.
He recently released a documentary on his life with CloseUp360, which really showed the amazing journey he’s had, from war-torn Beirut to Global NBA Star, DJ, Producer and Real Estate Mogul. He’s worked incredibly hard and that has paid off.
A Miami resident and a Miami lover, Seikaly shares his favorite spots in the 305. Watch Rony Seikaly’s documentary with CloseUp360 here and read on for his Miami picks below!
Rony Seikaly is no stranger to Yoshitoshi, having released his upbeat single “Holdin’ On” and its techy B-side “Faces” on the imprint last year. What “Sword” confirms, however, is both Seikaly’s music production acumen and his well-deserved place in today’s house music scene.
This two-track EP, exclusively premiered through 6AM, has everything it should have. The bass is decidedly heavy, yet both tracks remain relentlessly melodic and easy on the ear. “The Sword” is tribal in nature and packed-full of groove, a perfect track for the early hours of the morning. “All Of A Sudden” completes the EP perfectly, following suit with interlaced chords and a heavyweight kick over elegant percussions.
Make no mistake, Seikaly’s strength and experience as both a producer and DJ have been paying off, as his recent billing alongside Music On chief Marco Carola prove. “Sword” is the ultimate testament to that, delivering the ideal dance floor selection for any DJ looking to get a crowd dancing into sunrise.
