We never released this remix , but i like it ! 

the song was written with Yasmine Hamdan , Rabih Mroue , Walid Sadeck and me . 

We were sitting doing a composition game , one gives a chord , the other gives a melody , the other  a piece of lyrics and after a few minute a song exists. 

Wadih Saffieddine ( our manager at the time was typing on his computer at this time and we were asking him to join , the song was called after him at the end ! i hope u enjoy...

Wonderwheel Recordings — purveyors of the worldly, dancefloor-focused jam — are warming up the coals for their next 12". And what an infectiously airy cross continental collaboration it's proved to be.  Italian producer DJ Khalab, whose productions have already found their way onto Clap! Clap!'s Black Acre, teams up with Mali's prolific Baba Sissoko for a bout of minimal, Afro-influenced electronica. The Ibibio Sound Machine remix of "Tata" manoeuvres in funk territory, lathering Baba Sissoko's iconic vocals atop a contagious bassline underbelly.

Tarts(Originally From Beirut To Anatolia), already released single,  is the 5th track of khoum's album "Serm" which will be released on the 22nd of December 2017.

• Khan El Rouh خان الروح X HAB.B. •

In the last couple of month I had the privilege to be able to travel a lot for DJ gigs and in order to find Fadoul's family (the fruits of this labour can be found here: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/azmanah-salb). I spent some time in Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan. This mix is some of the music I found, a few trades are in there too. It's quite a colorful range. Disco from Algeria and Morocco, a James Brown cover from Egypt, a modern soul meets reggae hybrid from Tunisia, a new Fadoul track that the internet doesn't seem to know of yet and some other great bits and pieces. Come along to another journey to the funky side of the arab world.....
