Being a DJ means many things to many people. For some it means packing every weekend with whatever kind of gig you can get to make a paycheck. For others, it means practicing for 25 hours a day so you can become the next scratch champion. In the case of DJ Sabo, it's about a journey. A journey from playing house music on the Hudson River to the higher realms of conciseness and peak time sets at Burning man. But don't let this ethereal direction fool you into thinking he's simply a heady hippie with delusions of grandeur. This veteran producer, DJ and label owner has been on a constant touring schedule for the past few years and is known to throw down some serious dance floor heat as one of the leaders of the Moombahton movement over the last few years. But if you listen to his new album, it will become clear that he has entered a more spiritual path and seeks to enlighten through the speakers rather than induce hangovers. Our pick of the aptly named "Vibe Quest" is called 'Afro Fuego'. It features a warm bass line that will feel familiar to tech house fans, Afro-Latin tribal samples and of course Sabo's sprinkling of vibe and texture throughout. So while this release may not fit in to your 'Get Low" playlist, it will fit into any zen like moment and undoubtedly take you higher.
