DJ 3000 BRIDGES CONTINENTS WITH "SO SHEIK": A CINEMATIC MIRAGE ON MOTECH #178

DETROIT / GLOBAL — Motech Records founder DJ 3000 returns with "So Sheik," a release that operates in the shadows between the Motor City and the Mediterranean. Having carved out a unique sonic identity among Detroit’s elite producers, DJ 3000 moves away from standard tropes to craft a cinematic mirage that blends the mechanical pulse of Detroit with a haunting, orchestral depth.

The production is anchored by the rhythmic drive of the shekere and deep percussion, layered with a haunting fusion of analog strings and horns. Rather than traditional brass, the horns blend seamlessly with the strings to create a lush, otherworldly atmosphere—making "So Sheik" a masterclass in global techno mystery.

True to the label’s roots, Motech #178 is a limited vinyl-focused release, continuing the label's unwavering commitment to the wax tradition in a digital age.

THE REMIXES

--------------------------------------------------



* LOS HERMANOS REMIX: The legendary Gerald Mitchell takes the helm for an incredible rework that serves as a centerpiece of the release. Mitchell brings his world-renowned musicality to the project, delivering a soul-infused techno masterpiece. By layering intricate percussion with uplifting, sophisticated melodies, he transforms the original into a timeless anthem that perfectly balances Detroit grit with pure emotion.



* ALEXIS TYREL REMIX: Tyrell brings a heavy dose of swing to the package with a version built on clever, syncopated cuts. By meticulously chopping the original’s elements, he crafts a relentless groove that focuses on dance-floor momentum. It’s a super-funky, high-energy take that breathes a raw, percussive life into the track’s core arrangement.



* SALAR ANSARI REMIX: A fellow Detroit mainstay with deep Iranian roots, Salar Ansari offers a masterclass in hypnotic storytelling with a high-tempo edge. He leans into the track’s exotic origins, weaving a tapestry of textured rhythms and Middle Eastern-influenced soundscapes into a driving, immersive rework. It is a sophisticated interpretation that keeps the energy moving while deconstructing the original’s mysterious groove.
