Vertige II is the second compilation to be released on Abîme, gathering tracks from ten artists to explore the Vertige concept with a wider spectrum of intents.  

It features contributions from musicians all around the globe, each of them delivering an interpretation of this ambivalent sensation that could be equally seen as a positive or negative feeling if taken in its plurality of meanings.

Ranging from GIL’ dizzying textures in ‘Storm Petrel’ to the sweetness of Fauness’ guitars in ‘Am I ready’, Vertige II finds its coherence when seen as a progression, a back and forth between fear and love, with each track responding to the previous one by being its deforming mirror.

Vertige II puts the emphasis on vocal tracks, but again doesn’t limit itself to a one-sided approach, and that’s how Lil Asaf’s harsh Jordanian rap can be found coexisting with Flagalova’ anthemic pop and Ptwiggs’ shoegaze ‘Forever is not enough’. 

As the successor of our first compilation, this record can be seen as both a continuation and a rupture in comparison with it. The delicate sound palette of the original opus has exploded and expanded into an ecletic collection of pieces, sometimes frightening and overwhelming, and sometimes soothing and reassuring, as is the Vertige.

Damar - Gloob Ou Dabadeb // Fall VIP Remake

Warped and dragged through the murky underbelly of the Levantine underground comes ‘Volume 1’ the x-rated left-field debut from the pseudonymous DJ GAWAD.

Via pitched up vocals dripping with delay, DJ GAWAD takes us on a tour of the region's most urgent artists, his interjections oscillating between cocky boast and frustrated lament.

Through this new persona, DJ GAWAD pulls back the curtain to reveal himself as the protagonist of the mixtape-like album, as replete with features as it is with expletives, an enigmatic ghoul in the back of the studio with an endless supply of broken sample flips, giving the album its old school feel while still speaking to contemporary hip hop aesthetics.

A Jordanian/Palestinian Memphis gangster rap parody par excellence, the album is infused with satirical commentary on the state of the contemporary music scene, yet DJ GAWAD shows as much as he tells, expertly fashioning a sound that makes you wonder about the identity of the artist behind the braggadocious persona of the self-titled “best producer in the Middle East.”

Drawing heavily from the Memphis rap mixtapes of the mid 1990s, DJ GAWAD has clearly identified the same brooding atmosphere in his own surroundings. On Mat3’anish (feat. Bleng & Fara7) DJ GAWAD makes his most explicit reference to the Memphis sound, twisting the hallmark cowbells that defined that movement to reflect the equally raw nature of his own setting.

Similarly, in Bandana (feat. Jurum), DJ GAWAD finds the perfect tension between his romantic sampling tendencies and the brutal sensibilities of his featured artist. As if liberated by DJ GAWAD's anonymity and irreverence, his menagerie of artists appear to have been emboldened, embracing the obscene free naturedness of the album, setting their lyrical prowess free to wander.

No expense was spared in the post production treatment of DJ GAWAD’s debut, with Iraqi-American artist Mark Gergis incorporating the Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck in the mastering process, as is evidenced by the crisp saturation of the album's sonics.


▄︻デ══━一 


DJ GAWAD, the self-proclaimed “best producer in the Middle East”, is the pseudonymous persona of the Arab artist, pioneer, philosopher and lover. The anonymity grants him complete artistic freedom to pursue his creative endeavors in full. DJ GAWAD embarked on a journey from the West to the East to collaborate with local left-field rap artists in the region to produce this masterful debut, released on Drowned By Locals.

DJ GAWAD Presents: Volume 1 is his first feature album, and he will continue releasing more projects under this moniker. Stay tuned.

نجم الاصلي // 

برجعك على الأول 
شكلك مش مطول 
فش مستوي سرّب
بدك تجرّب قرّب 
بعمل فوضى بأرضى 
صحبتك كبّن نظرة 
عل شوفة قشط ضغطها 
بدها ياني فوقها 
قلتلها عندها نطرة
شي يوم بيجي دورها 
بس قلتلها عندها نطرة
راسي مش حاملني
كل فشخة لورى
ما في مين يلمني
بس خزّاني بضل مفوّل 
ما في شي بهمني
شكلي مش مطوّل
برجع على الأوّل

بلي تسترك //

راكب موجة ثانية 
حسابك على الطاولة 
مقيّد كله و مش عم بالغ 
بعدني واعي 
ترپ عاطل 
اللعبة هينة 
كرهت حالي انا
انا كرهت حالي 
انا رحت عالي
و منّي راجع 
انا ضد رش المبيد 
كونك صرصور 
بخلّيك تطلع علي الطاولة 
و تاكل من اكلاتنا 
شوف بس هيدي العرصة 
يلعن عرضها شو بخيلة 
دس أجانب 
لا دخيلك طق حنك 
خلص 
ببسلك ايدك
و بخلع نيعها بتخلص
٧٥ حكمة هاي البداية 
و ايري بالنهاية 
مش عم نخلص 
منيك شكلك بدك تخلص هيك
عامل منها مشكلة 
فكرة فشلت
والله يوم الك ولا يوم عليك
شكلك بدك تخلص هيك
عامل منها مشكلة 
فكرة فشلت
والله يوم الك ولا يوم عليك
