“Music is a borderless language”

This is our gargantuan motto at Fauve Records.
With this mission statement arose a new project called 西 WEST & 東 EAST.

Born from the desire to link the world of the West & the East. The idea was to ask two artist/band to collaborate on a split EP, with one original track each and finally to remix each others’ work.

For Volume 1, it is with humble esteem that we present you to Mameen 3 from Belgium/Morocco and Dea from Indonesia. We are extremely happy to launch the new series with this extraordinary collection of retro-futuristic club music.

First up is Mameen 3 with their original title “Dada Glitter”. A hypnotic burner that feels like the instrumental B-side of a fitness instruction song made by Ziad Rahbani's grandson in 2043. Wake up in utopia and find yourself high on XTC on a glittery Bellydance rave under the Moonshine of Djerbas beaches. An absolute sparkler faithfully signed: soFa & Cheb Runner.

On remix duty of the previously mentioned track is the Indonesian future legend called Dea. After getting his hands on a vintage vocoder he pulled out all its magic blessing onto this stripped-down oriental-future-groover. A highly forceful bassline and effectively simple punchy beats do justice to this cosmic vocoder-funk gem. With lush chords and modestly well done modular toms, he puts the cherry on the cake. A masterpiece in a back-alley illegal trafficking vibe with intimate curiosity!

On the flip side is Dea’s original piece “Mesopotamia”. Just when you thought you’ve travelled enough in this EP, the shaman takes it a step further by landing you on a planet where all genres live together in harmony. Classical, space odyssey, salsa, middle-eastern, you name it, the influences are endless. With a clean yet effective 4x4 analogue-sounding pulse, he handles a multiverse of emotions that will take you on the best drugless trip you can experience.

Last but not least, Mameen 3’s “Rai Not Raimix” finishes the EP in style. Re-inventing the genre-less track by giving it an aspect of a sorcerer marching-band. Amidst airy FM trumpets, off-groove claps and enthralled choirs the duo brings along the final smoky touch of this treasury of oddities.

Tracklist: 

A1 - Mameen 3 - ""Dada Glitter""
A2 - Mameen 3 - ""Dada Glitter"" (Dea rework)
B1 - Dea - ""Mesopotamia""
B2 - Dea - ""Mesopotamia"" (Mameen 3 Rai Not Raimix)

In his own words...

'1998 Kuwaiti track "El Qalb El Mehtas" by Bashar Sultan is a rare gem in the realm of Arab music. The cleverly-written lyrics that intertwine hilarity and sorrow, paired with a silly 90s video clip that is nothing short of a masterpiece, it gained meme status in the Arab world in recent years. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to elevate it to the dance floor, tapping into its already uplifting energy, breaking it into 4 parts and changing their arrangement slightly, adding a bassline, intro/outro, breaks, and tension with the drums to the delights of the saz, and more of its "vocal hypes" and shouts that come from Arab weddings. At the end of last year with huge success, I debuted my project "Deviousco" at Kabareet Club Haifa with Lau Tropico where we infused cultural music from all over with the invigorating rhythms of Italo, dark disco and others. As a Palestinian, it further fueled my passion for remixing and editing Middle Eastern music and gave birth to this edit. Now, Lets see if it can make you dance as much as it made you laugh.'

Dhak Ye Dil (Aaron Maple edit)

They say music is a universal language. Does a nation babble when it is born? Can we ever truly come to terms with our own nativity? Titanic plates began to shift, leaving gulfs between the earthly bodies. Stars above couldn’t care less. The ode to joy has lost its conductor.

Awesome Orientalists From Europa have had enough of the cultural appropriation war. Israeli label head Gal and his Europe-homed crew are purveying a new politics of pure fusion, specialising in clubby edits of forgotten dance tracks sonically rooted in the east, but predominantly made in the west. Its third EP, led by Finnish producer Aaron Maple, cleverly marries the cold heart of European dance music with the warmth of Middle Eastern pop, and its references to traditional folk music. Tabla sits pretty atop high-nrg basslines, and lively Arabic vocals accompany a weighty Italo groove. This is Orientalist music by white musicians in reverence to, rather than ownership of, their heroes from Asia. All profits from the release will go to organisations that fight Islamophobia, antisemitism and racism in the West.
