EDIT 2 : That's it, my track now has got a proper release date : June 13 on Armada Music's "Armada Deep 2014 Vol 1" compilation. For obvious copyright reason, I had to replace Marion Cotillard's sample with my own voice, hope you will still love the track as much!
The pre-order link is the following : https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/armada-deep-2014-volume-1/id875337040

EDIT : Unfortunately, I have to remove the free download link. The track has been signed on a label and is likely to get a proper release soon. More infos asap!

Thought I would go and make you a new free track to thank you all for the support.

This one is more in a trip-hop kinda vibe, mainly inspired by Zero 7, Moby, ...

See this is a token of my appreciation for all the support you all have been giving me lately! You guys are awesome!

Abraj (arabic for "horoscope")

the samples on this track are based on recordings we made from a Bethlehem* based radio station. A weekly program dedicated entirely to the horoscope forecast. Listerners call in, give their date and time of birth to find out what the stars tell them about their luck in love, health, work, finances...signs of life like anywhere else in the world, here too, people dream of happiness, marriage, a better job, etc...
(* Bethlehem is a palestinian city with a population of 40,000. It is one of the areas under full control of the palestinian authority since 1995)

"The unbounded, genre-mashing DJ, producer and industry juggernaut, Diplo, is excited to announce the June 12th release of the Express Yourself EP on his label Mad Decent. The six-track recording from the man who makes up one half of the bombastic duo, Major Lazer, is his first solo release since 2004’s Florida and is a product of the artist's fearless endeavors of exploring and unearthing new music from around the world. Spastic freak-beats tie the recording together but genres present span from Dancehall to New Orleans Bounce to EDM. The EP features a laundry list of exciting collaborations, from dubstep superstars Datsik and Flinch to Dancehall pioneer Elephant Man. Each artist brings something exciting and new to Diplo's wild productions. The EP's title track and Diplo's first foray into the maddening beats and booty-popping sound of New Orleans Bounce has close to 900,000 plays on youtube and radio play across the US."

Türkiye Karışık

Using site recordings predominantly from Palestine and the arab world, Checkpoint 303 constructs soundscapes that weave cinematic audio with experimental sound processing and complex rhythms. Through its compositions, collected sounds and noise, Checkpoint 303 spreads a message of peace and a call for the respect of human rights. Contrasting with the mainstream media's exclusive depiction of violence and suffering in the middle-east, CP-303's sound collages also report on the heroic hope that subsists in the region as well as the seemingly banal but ever so meaningful little things that embody a daily search for normality in a state of emergency.
