Was für eine Melange, stimmig, vielseitig, ganz großes Ohr Kino

Known for their head-bopping, hip-thrusting, zalghouta-inducing tunes, Restless Leg Syndrome seamlessly fuse Western and Middle Eastern references in their work. Their tastefully-crafted mélange strikes a nerve; providing a trace of nostalgia for an ever-growing diaspora and a hint of excitement to the unfamiliar ear. The Vienna-based group is comprised of longtime DJ and producer d.b.h and turntable maestros Chrisfader and Testa. A seasoned enthusiast of Lebanese music, d.b.h provided the influence for their critically acclaimed second EP “Dabkeh”. The EP paid tribute to the Mediterranean form of line-dancing, by flipping samples of Lebanese music into irresistibly groovy beats. 

The group began working loosely on their upcoming project over a year and a half ago. The onslaught of the pandemic shot prospects for gigs short and the guys quickly found themselves in the studio five days a week. With busy schedules cleared up, they locked down and focused full-throttle on music. Having toured the MENA region after releasing “Dabkeh” and dug up an expansive library, their newest body of work samples gems from Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Irak and Lebanon. Moreover, the guys stumbled across 80’s Lebanese electro-pop star Emaad Sayyah living in Austria and proceeded to work together in his studio as well as sampling his previous work for their upcoming project.

African Head Charge - Peace And Happiness

"COVID 19 LOCKDOWN" Live DJ SET, Prague, Czech Republic.

Known for their head-bopping, hip-thrusting, zalghouta-inducing tunes, Restless Leg Syndrome seamlessly fuse Western and Middle Eastern references in their work. Their tastefully-crafted mélange strikes a nerve, with a trace of nostalgia for an ever-growing diaspora and a hint of excitement to the unfamiliar ear. The Vienna-based group is comprised of longtime DJ and producer d.b.h and turntable maestros Chrisfader and Testa. A seasoned enthusiast of Lebanese music, d.b.h provided the influence for their critically acclaimed second EP “Dabkeh”. The EP paid tribute to the iconic Mediterranean form of line-dancing, by flipping samples of Lebanese music into irresistibly groovy beats. 

The group began working loosely on their upcoming project over a year and a half ago. The onslaught of the pandemic shot prospects for gigs short and the guys found themselves in the studio five days a week. With busy schedules cleared up, RLS locked down and started focusing full-throttle on the music. Since the release of “Dabkeh”, the guys have toured the region and dug up an expansive library of records. Their newest body of work samples gems from Cairo, Amman, Algeria, Morocco, and Beirut, really highlighting a natural development and maturity through its subtlety and diversity of its references. 

Restless Leg Syndrome will release a compilation of four EPs in the next few months, with the result truly a community effort. Artworks for the tracks are in collaboration with Lebanese talents Ashekman, a graffiti veteran, and illustrator Raphaelle Macaron. The trio stumbled across 80’s Lebanese electro-pop star Emaad Sayyah living in Austria and proceeded to work together in his studio as well as sampling his previous work.

Restless Leg Syndrome fittingly premiered the season with an original mix titled “Way to Eskandaria”. All Bandcamp proceeds from the track, featured in Diggers’ Delight Records ‘Beirut Bounce Compilation’, go to relief and rebuilding efforts in Beirut. In October, the trio dropped their free edit release of Abdel Halim Hafez’s “Khayef Marra Aheb” and paid tribute to one of Egypt and the Arab worlds’ most popular singers. Restless Leg Syndrome is dropping the first of four digital EPs by the end of the year followed by a release every couple of weeks and ending with an exclusive double-vinyl release.

Their first EP “Venom” cinematically takes off with classical Arabic melodies and distinct sounds coupled with RLS’s signature electronic bounce. The latter half of the EP introduces a fat bass and a tasteful sample selection coupled with crisp synth sounds highlighting the trios’ affinity for Hip Hop.
