Solace - several albums
Solace (Jeremiah M. Soto) combines Middle Eastern dance music and several forms of electronica for an exciting, exotic sound.
Ahsas actually sounds like Mohammed El-Bakkar gradually flooded with textural electronics. Several of the songs are primarily beat-driven, and the beats are given in the song titles - for example, “Circle (5-8, 6-8, 7-8)”. On Iman, the textural electronics are given more precedence, and on Rhythm of the Dance they are stripped away, as are most of the non-percussive instruments.
Satya nearly transforms the Middle Eastern dance music into modern European dance music, and achieves a fuller sound than his previous albums. ShaWaza is a very typical Solace album, but probably his best. The Gathering Season is less interesting than all other Solace albums, but still a good listen. Vadalna is an electronica album of thumpin’ remixes from Solace’s previous albums.
Because Magnatune only provides links for streaming their MP3s (128kbps) via M3U playlists, I’ve provided direct file links below to all the MP3 files. If you like this music, please support the artist and buy his albums in higher-quality files (including FLAC) or on CD.

Sorry you’re having trouble but it appears Satya is no longer available from Magnatune. I’m giving it a little time for them to correct this but if they do not, I’ll remove my link to the album from my site. As you have stated, the other albums are still available.
