Roots Sikah is an electronic album influenced by various genres including Dub, Folktronica, Shamstep, Reggae and Arabic folk music. The music on this album uses a diverse number of scales and rhythms found in the Middle East and also makes use of quartertones (gadwal) that gives Arabic music its distinct flavour.

The term Sikah comes from the combination of two words of Persian origin: Si, which means “three,” and the suffix Kah, from the Persian gah meaning “a position.” Sikah therefore, means the third position on the scale Rast (the primary scale of Arabic music). Sikah is also the primary quartertone used in Arabic music, featured on every track of this album.

released March 4, 2021 on all Digital platforms and Limited Edition CD.

For the first show here on radio Flouka, I wanted to make a link between Maghreb and Reggae music. Through my record collection I selected an hour of music that you don't came by often. My intention is to take on a Arab-Berber roots journey that will make you skank and happy! Don't forget to serve you a mint tea for a full experience!

Sons Of Hannibal

Business of war (Pupajim) by Jangle Machine

ZamZam Sounds presents a truly monumental album, the third release on our 10”/12”/LP imprint Khaliphonic, in partnership once again with Llorona Records straight out of Colombia.

After last year’s Dub De Gaita 12” pairing Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto with producer Adrian Sherwood, ZamZam and Llorona knew we wanted to continue the partnership by releasing more material from the same incredible sessions that produced the three tracks on the single.  The Dub De Gaita Vols II and III double LP is the result, a towering achievement in cumbia, dub, and international musical cross-pollination. 

Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto are Colombian cumbia roots icons, legendary in their homeland as guardians of ancient regional musical and cultural traditions. Here they are joined by another legend, On-U Sound founder and dub producer Adrian Sherwood. Alongside Llorona Records ́s Diego Gómez, Sherwood and the band have created an absolutely unique sound that seamlessly blends timeless cumbia rhythms and sonorities with powerfully restrained dub mixing and low end power.

It is no exaggeration or hyperbole to call this mystical music, a heart-centered psychogeographical journey from the Caribbean Coast of Colombia through Jamaica and UK dubscapes. The heartbeat rhythms this team explores so deftly unite musical cultures in such a natural way that the sound they produce feels almost inevitable. Vocal exhortations, massed flutes, organic bass and keys, extraordinary volleys of percussion, echo trails, reggae skanks, and truly masterful arrangements and dubbing make this a simply crucial release. Miles beyond most attempts at intercultural musical fusion, we guarantee you will be mesmerized by the beauty and power of Dub De Gaita. There is simply nothing else like it.

Produced by Adrian Sherwood and Diego Gómez, mixed by Adrian Sherwood at On-U Sound. Mastered by Kevin Metcalfe at Sound Masters UK. Special guests include On-U Sound crew George Oban and Skip McDonald, and the Ital Horns.

Here's Im Nin'Alu remixed by Dr Das https://soundcloud.com/dr-das !
We're really proud of this one,  DR Das has been a main influence for Watcha Clan since years (he's one of the founder members and original bassist of Asian Dub Foundation).

So respect the Dub, play this loud and as Das would says "no computer speakers, don't be part of the bassless society" :)

Popcorn Slavery

The originator of the Dub Caravan project is Felix Aburdene - an artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer of Palestinian descent, striving to create a multi-dimensional musical landscape for listeners who are craving something fresh, original and out of this world…This atypical Caravan (project) of sounds is of a nomadic nature and is in constant motion.

It isn’t bound to a single location, country or city. Dub Caravan continuously wanders around the world in pursuit of recruiting Poets, Singers, Musicians and other Artists from various cultures and countries in order to concoct new and original exotic sounds...

Members/partakers of the Dub Caravan project jump on and off as they please but always remain part of the Caravan. Being a member of this project is about belonging to something special without being bound to it. It’s organic, natural and free flowing…

In theory, the music of Dub Caravan is not associated with any one style but it is heavily influenced by Arabic folk music, Electronic music, Dub, Reggae particularly from the Mediterranean and Middle East.
