Amsterdam based Leyla records presents part two of it's various artists compilation, this time bringing together a host of international artists, as well as a contribution from label boss Chafik Chennouf.

The four tracker commences with Insufferable People from label regular Manni Dee. Following his spectacular EP on Perc Trax, Dee delivers a dancefloor roller containing punctilious sound design integral to his work, with vocals from the artist superimposed over crunchy drums, riding the waves of submerged synths.
Track two from France's Von Grall offers a similar treat for DJs, this time with more introspective elements working in harmony with propulsive polyrhythms. As the track creeps forward the revelation of drones and synth lines further involves the listener and contributes to a musical landscape populated by rhythmically independent segments, coalescing to form a cogent whole.

Head honcho Chafik Chennouf injects light in to the darkness on the B1 with Kosmai, redolent of EBM style funk rhythms. The stolid arpeggios function as the foundation for percussive interplay which propel the track in to new territory as it progresses. The 90s rave influence becomes apparent as the automations mould and shape the multidimensional lead.
The closer, Useless Landscape, from Japan's Katsunori Sawa immediately immerses the listener as the concrete groove is quickly overtaken by field recordings and a unique tonality emerging through layered drones and warped artefacts. Reminiscent of his work with Yuji Kondo as Steven Porter, the track unveils an intimacy through detail, while maintaing distance through evolving layers of sound creating.

Empires of Dirt is the new Ep from CASKO the techno alias of Chafik Chennouf, Moroccan born, Amsterdam based producer, DJ and head of Leyla Records.Each of the four muscular tracks are tensely constructed around field recordings of vocal samples recorded in the shelter where Chennouf works with undocumented people with psychiatric conditions. Chafik explains this EP is an attempt to highlight and address the traumas of the refugee crisis, precipitated by the actions and inactions of western governments that cause people from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to suffer the loss of their homes and cites and to be forced to flee, to become undocumented in the west and to suffer once again, already in the new land but still traversing the old borders.
