Description: Little joke we did on object :). Enjoy!!!!

Some time ago I worked for a Berlin based NGO called MICT while running Jakarta Records. During this time I helped organize a recording session in Tunisia with 9 female singers and musicians from Tunisia, Libya & Egypt together with Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of The Knife. "Nouh Al Hamam" by egyptian singer Maryam Saleh is the first leak of the project. You can pre-order the vinyl here. Below you can find the infos for this project....

A little less then three years ago the political situation in many countries of the Arab world changed dramatically. Uprisings started in rural areas of Tunisia and from there spread to various countries in the region. Millions gathered in the streets united by their demand for more democracy, rights and participation in the political process. In most cases the reaction of the governing dictators were relentless and severe towards every form of protests. Violence in the streets of Cairo, Tunis and Bengasi escalated and resulted in the overthrow of the governments in Tunisia, Egypt and Lybia.
A year later a group of female singers and musicians from Tunisia (Nawel Ben Kraiem, Badiaa Bouhrizi, Medusa, Houwaida), Libya (Nada) and Egypt (Donia Massoud, Maryam Saleh, Youssra El Hawary) met in Mohsen Matri Studio in Tunis to sing- against corruption, despotism, patronization and narrow-mindedness. The song with Syrian artist Rasha Rizk was recorded some months later in her political asylum in Cairo. Sudanese/American producer Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of the Swedish pop duo The Knife joined the session, participating in the creation of the musical backdrop as well as the often multi-instrumentalist female singers. For the vinyl edition producers such as Brenk, Blackjoy and Blundetto contributed remix versions of the project.

At the time and still today especially musicians and especially women were and are trapped in a spiral of repression, discrimination and violence. "Sawtuha" (Arabic for "her voice"), the album that is the product of the 2-week session, is a vital encouraging testament of rebellion against the repression of democratic rights, gender inequality, and lack of inclusion. The music is an organic mixture of traditional Arabic music, regional influences and various forms of contemporary Western musical genres. A mixture that may sound contradicting at first but makes total sense once you listen to the music.

The studio session was organized by the Berlin based NGO MICT (Media In Cooperation And Transition) and was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

Athens-based, The Blue Square is a project of Radim and Radical, two producers exploring the boundaries between hip-hop (mainly instrumental), trip-hop and nu-jazz. With Wax Tailor, Bonobo and Flying Lotus among their favorite artists, they started their career five years ago investigating their own sound equally inspired by the atmosphere of film noir, exotica and spy movies of the past.

Frequential Retards is a Dj/Production duo from Kortrijk, Belgium.
Members of the group are Tim Agon, Arne 'Nowie' Vanhauwaert & Snow White.
At live gigs, they are accompanied by Mc Pastor (member of the Dancehall-group Chaka Chaka Sound).

Back in 2006, they started out with a project named Hyphablast with another friend of theirs.
In the beginning, the genre of music they were playing was Electro and House.
A couple of years later, Agon left the group and started to spin Reggae and Dancehall.
Nowie kept spinning Electro with the other friend under the name Elekids.

A couple of years later, Agon and Nowie both discovered Dubstep.
That's when they decided to start up a brand new project, named Frequential Retards.
Both were fond on Dubstep and Drum and Bass, so that was the main sound in their live sets.

Frequential Retards already shared the decks with some nice artists in the scene,
as there are DJVC, Primal, Tunage, Likewize, Grimshaw, Dubgrow, Mindbrothers, Bluntstep, Tacticz Crew, Shit Happens, T.Mastis and Dub Pets,
but also Chaka Chaka Sound, Civalizee Foundation, EPTIC, SYNDAESIA, POINT.BLANK, Harmony, Foxy Lady & MC Elvee, Dotcom, MURDOCK, SLUM DOGZ, FUNTCASE..

In 2012, Agon and Nowie both started to listen to Moombahton & Trap Music.
Since that period, they decided to combine these new genres of music with Dubstep  and Drum & Bass in their sets.

Watch out for big basslines and extra bootyshakes!

Bless!
