Blend of bass, techno, noise and Arab mysticism.
El Mahdy Jr. and his family fled the brutal civil war of his native Algeria in the 90's, relocating to Turkey. Upon returning years later to Algeria, Mahdy worked as a French-Arabic translator in Algeria and later in Burkina Faso. Sick in bed with malaria, he began to paint sonic pictures of his travels in exile; digitally decoding a hazy trance-induced melding of his native Algerian music, Turkish folk, the furious poly-rhythms of West Africa, and his love of slow, low slung rap beats.
Now living in Istanbul, El Mahdy Jr. is a respected artist amongst the Istanbul beat scene. His sonic experiments have grown into a collection of disciplined, well timed musical gestures that confound the expectations of any single genre. Splicing devotional music into a blunted blend of half time bass and mystic sound. Familiar in it's bass weight and its global melt, but completely new and enveloping in its fragility and poise.
Black vinyl repress in a poly vinyl sleeve with color sticker and download card featuring stunning remix by Alter Echo & E3 of the Zam Zam Sounds label.
