We are thrilled to welcome Tel-Aviv’s Shai T back to When We Dip Radio with a stunning premiere that brings a beloved classic into a brand new era. Today, we share Shai T’s hypnotic reinterpretation of ‘Les Djinns’, the timeless cut originally released by Djuma Soundsystem on Audiomatique back in the early 2000s, and now reborn as a free download for the global dance floor.
Shai T’s approach to ‘Les Djinns’ is both reverent and bold. The original’s signature ethnic and melodic motifs remain firmly at the heart of the record, yet they arrive dressed in a deeper, groovier, and more contemporary palette. A driving bassline anchors the track from the outset, while a patient and intelligent build steadily layers tension and atmosphere, transforming the cut into a hypnotic late-night weapon. The result is a remix that feels fresh and forward-looking without ever losing the soulful magic that made the original such an enduring favorite.
It is no surprise that the remix has already won over some of the most respected names in the scene, with strong DJ support and major plays across the global circuit. A particular highlight came when Lee Burridge selected the track for his memorable set at Burning Man 2025, a moment that perfectly captured the connection this music continues to forge with audiences far and wide.
Hailing from Tel-Aviv, Shai T has spent the past few years establishing himself as one of the most reliable voices in the organic and melodic house worlds. With releases on the likes of All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Lost Miracle, and Sol Selectas, plus a constantly growing list of bookings at the world’s most respected clubs and festivals, his star continues to rise. Djuma Soundsystem, meanwhile, remains a foundational figure in modern house culture, releasing on his own Iziki imprint and continuing to inspire new generations of producers, including Shai T himself, who pays beautiful tribute to that legacy here.
This release lands as a free download via Hypeddit, a generous gift from Shai T to fans and DJs alike, and a reminder that some records are simply too good to keep behind a paywall.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Les Djinns (Shai T Remix)’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
