yo. this is really cool.  like the coolest thing I've heard this month.

Earlier this month I was in North Africa for another digging trip and ended up finding quite some records I didn’t know before or I had no copy of so I felt it was time for another mix. After every mix I make I feel like „Uhh, getting enough records I like for the next one will be tough“. But every time I end up getting proven wrong by the rich musical heritage of Arabic musicians that worked on combining local influences with western musical traditions. Just like Dalton, the Tunisian band we just re-released on our new Habibi Funk label, who are also prominently featured on this mix.

Apart from the Dalton re-release that you can hear on our soundcloud we are working on rereleasing Fadoul’s music, Morocco’s answer to James Brown, who was also featured on the first two mixes. The artist himself passed in the early 90s but thru a countless number of leads we luckily ended up finding his family in Morocco, one of the highlights of my last trip but more from this later.

For now please enjoy the new mix featuring music from Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon. If you’re in Paris catch me playing some records at Institute Du Monde Arab on the 3rd of July…

The Letter (The Intro)

Tre Boogiie x Kream Dslim  Cant Relax

(bass, voice, sax, lyrics, arr. etc.)

"Hey there, hey there;
Even after glory days, 
To me, you still radiate...
Sunshine, sunshine.
But when the clouds come, 
I can't bear to see you all alone.

Can you thaw my heart from the past? (Bitten by frost)
Chilled by the frigid grip of forbidden facts;
You bring warmth...during drafts. (No longer lost)
A joy I never thought would last."
--sax solo flutter--
'Through the test of time!
Through the fire,
To the limit-- to the wall;
For a chance at lovin' you,
I'd gladly risk it all.
Through the fire,
through whatever- come what may; 
For a chance at lovin' you,
I'd take it all the way.'

Hey There, Sunshine

been awhile soundcloud...
produced by Chase of Nazareth
additional bass by Leon Slyvers IV
