Exclusive sets featuring an unpredictable spectrum of regional music and secret gems by Kujo & Murk b2b rknddn.

Kujo @modular-mind is the solo project of K Choueiri - a multidisciplinary Lebanese artist, label founder & mastering engineer. Weaponizing noise, drone and oriental drums as means of confrontation, Kujo's uncompromising approach is to observe, report and interpret the current state.
Now based in Amsterdam, the artist expresses angst through their conceptualized records on Modular Mind and hardware-based live performances in repurposed cultural spaces such as abandoned military shooting ranges or morgues.
Under the Modular Mind imprint, they propagate a strict ethos with the select contributing artists, prioritizing a slow-burn and relevant recordings.
 
Intro sample: "Abou Dawoud"

Murk @bigmurk is a Palestinian producer and drummer based in Amman, specializing in UK grime and hip-hop sub-genres. His beat-making style is centered around heavy swinging drums and sloppy yet calculated basslines, always aiming to make his beats as bouncy and neck-snapping as possible. Murk has collaborated with numerous big names in the local rap scene as well as underground legends. He has landed placements with a handful of well-established UK artists and released his first solo project “El Shmurk EP” in October 2020.
 
@rknddn is a contemporary writer specializing in Grime and Hip-Hop. The style revolves around drumless hip-hop as well as fast-paced Grime beats. Throughout the past year, he has released multiple singles to showcase his new endeavors in Arabic Hip-Hop with his fellow producer, rapper and friend Murk, alongside a scene of artists in Palestine as well as Jordan.

We conclude the first season of [episode_1] with an experimental sound piece by Cairo-based producer El Kontessa, accompanied by a text from Shavi Lortso.

The episode is an attempt to illustrate the anxiety, fear and confusion induced by long stays at the Intensive Care Unit, and the long-term psychological effects of immobility, solitude and sedation on patients.

Shavi Lortso is an inactive character fluked into existence through failed attempts at creating a relatable, contemporary superhero. Its limb design was too ambitious and its skin too thin, so immediately upon assembly, it collapsed on itself and turned into black sludge. It serves as a digital ink substitute in some cyber spaces. 

El Kontessa is the stage name of Cairo-based producer, DJ and multidisciplinary artist Fajr Soliman. She experiments with Egyptian Pop and Mahraganat music elements. In her production and Dj-set, she deconstructs familiar/nostalgic sounds, adds textures, and blends it with Cairo's soundscapes, giving them fresh and astonishing results akin to a live set.

نختتم الموسم الأول من بودكاست [الحلقة_الأولى] بمقطوعة موسيقية تجريبية من عمل المنتجة المصرية الكونتيسا٬ مرفقة بنصّ من شافي لورتسو.

هذه الحلقة محاولة لترجمة القلق والخوف والارتباك الناجمين عن فترات إقامة طويلة في وحدة العناية المشدّدة٬ والآثار النفسية طويلة المدى الناجمة عن الوحدة والتخدير وعدم الحركة على المرضى.

شافي لورتسو هي شخصية رقمية غير نشطة خُلقت من خلال محاولات فاشلة لإنشاء بطلة خارقة معاصرة. كان تصميم أطرافها طموحًا للغاية وجلدها رقيقًا جدًا، لذلك فور التجميع، انهارت على نفسها وتحولت إلى حمأة سوداء. تُستخدم أحيانًا كبديل للحبر الرقمي في بعض المساحات الإلكترونية.

الكونتيسة هو الاسم الفنّي للمنتجة المقيمة في القاهرة، والدي جاي والفنانة متعددة التخصصات فجر سليمان. تتلاعب فجر بعناصر موسيقى البوب المصري والمهرجانات٬ كما تفكك الأصوات المألوفة والحنينية في إنتاجاتها ووصلات الدي جاي التي تلعبها، خالقة قوامًا جديدة ممزوجة مع البيئة الصوتية في القاهرة. 

بالتعاون مع مؤسسة هاينريش بُل، مكتب الشرق الأوسط، بيروت
