ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .

For years, Hadi Hosri has been working in the shadows of music, as an engineer and sound designer, his talents usually tend to pop up in many film scores and bizarre projects he could get his hands on. In the recent frame, Hadi shifted his talents to match a submerged taste he had for electronic music.

“Leftovers” in its simplest form is a mixture of Hadi’s influences and culture, bringing in a form of twisted jazz with the distorted Rhodes, which suddenly mixes in with an oriental horn sample. The Dynamics of the track are really what brings it to life, especially apparent with the drums that carry the track with a certain bounce, which keeps you in a sonic airspace that this artist has carefully created just for you, topped off with organic ever-changing claps and twisted rotating percussion to give it that sense of realism which is a sort of trademark for the artist.

Mayhm being a long time friend of Hadi’s and having spent quite sometime in the studio together this year, jumped at the chance to remix the track. Although remixing might not be the best word to describe the outcome of the track, a beautiful piece of Chaos would be better used, an unsynchronized, raw, tale in which these artists seem to meet perfectly between a classical background and a knack for absolutely destroying all things logic.

In 2007 Portico Quartet moved from busking on the South Bank in London to a recording studio and, with the remains of the money from their student grants, created their first album, 'Knee Deep In The North Sea' (released on Babel/Vortex). This was a turning point for the band, the album attracted attention from DJs, bloggers and critics of every stripe, and was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize.
