After the Walden Sessions EP (Spettro Records), Trevisan makes his comeback with his personal electronic project Sheeba Exp., relying on the joint effort of Svbterrean Tapes and Timeless Records.

Urals is a cathartic journey across the most isolated territories of the artist's emotional landscape; a glacial interpretation of human feeling reflecting a deep sense of disintegration and subsequent need for repair. An experience as oneiric as it is existentially regenerative, unfolding between power ambient movements and upward distortions.

The record takes its name and attitude from the forlorn imagery of Man-Pupu-Nyor (the little mountain of the gods) a magical geological legacy carved in the depths of the Ural mountains in Russia, wherein seven rock giants reign over the lonely post-Soviet natural landscape.
Legend has it that a shaman turned those evil giants into stone, at the price of being petrified by his own magic.

Qow - ElMosameh Serine 
@hiqow

Every question is a track & all the tracks are samples of Sherine

"El Mosameh Sherine is built on unanswered immersive loops that repeat until they collapse and vanish in silence. It is entirely composed of samples and rearrangements of musical phrases taken from Sherine Abdel-Wahab. Sherine’s ability to musically and lyrically translate heartbreak was utilised on this album to emotionally investigate a specific state of strength that one gains from (un)forgiving a loved one.
This album is dedicated to my mom and I perceive it as a second-hand heartbreak experience."

Moqawama (مقاومة), "resistance."

Amidst the ongoing genocide against the people of Gaza - having now surpassed the 100-day mark, and with deep mourning for the loss of over 30,000 Palestinians, over 10,000 of those being children - I felt a profound need to contribute in some way. This drive led me to start this fundraising project and, with the invaluable help of everyone involved, we've crafted this Various Artists compilation as a creative expression of solidarity and support for Palestine.

We reached out to friends and fellow artists from five different parts of the world (Egypt, Poland, Greece, China, Saudi Arabia), seeking their support in contributing their unique sounds to this project. MOQAWAMA V.A. has evolved into a kaleidoscope of electronic subgenres, spanning from Shaabi to experimental techno, sound design and drill.

~PROCEEDS~
The vast majority of humanitarian aid is unfortunately not reaching Gaza. The only scenario in which donations can be helpful and have an impact is through e-SIM purchases, for which there is currently a huge demand, due to the very frequent telecommunications blackouts imposed by "Israel".
Purchasing e-SIMs is literally life saving, as it allows people within Gaza to connect to the outside, to communicate with their families and also to show what's happening within Gaza.

We'll be using all proceeds from this release to purchase as many e-SIMs as possible and send them to gazaesims@gmail.com. This effort is run by Mirna El Helbawi, an Egyptian writer and journalist. You can find more information on gazaesims.com or follow @ Mirna_elhelbawi on X/Twitter.

Huge thanks to all the artists involved, and of course to Khaled (@ jalapineos/@ kain.xx) for providing his amazing artworks and helping with the project in overall, and PereNee for creating the teaser videos.

LONG LIVE THE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

kvadosh - Saydet El Neyahat

@SaintAbdullah & @Eomac rekindle their longstanding collaboration in this fiery new release sourced from the multiple cultural references and personal stories of its producers.

In their third installment entitled “Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you”, the New York-based Iranian-Canadian siblings Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh aka Saint Abdullah & Wicklow-based Irish producer Ian McDonnell aka Eomac continue their exploration of sounds and rhythms through an expansive use of sampling and heavy distorted beats. Passionately curious about diverse vocal and musical cultures as well as their own, the trio began their long-distance collaboration in 2019, releasing their first two albums, “Patience of a Traitor ” (Other People) and “Chasing Stateless” (Planet Mu) in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The trio recorded the album as the world witnessed the genocide on Gaza, Mohammad notes that all tracks were “recorded within a few weeks in October after the war broke out as we tried to keep our heads above water.” The sound of Saint Abdullah is characterized by a keen interest to challenge cultural perceptions and expectations of diasporic narratives, by foregrounding sounds, field recordings, and sacred and profane music from the multiple worlds they belong to. They pay homage to the distinct influences, however sonically and culturally disparate, that have permeated their records and musical process so far. Together with Eomac, they continue a conversation shaped by their ever-growing sonic heritage and shared musical affinities. The inclusion of field recordings for example, often personal ones, are not ornamental but are integral parts of the whole album in which vocal samples are both used in moments of release or through thrusts of heavy beats, continually mirroring a state of unease.…

Reflecting on the recording process, Eomac notes that: “There is a strong influence and inspiration from hip-hop culture here. The beat-tape in particular. It’s rough, raw; rhythms are direct and not overthought. The beats are heavy and distorted for the most part, often shifting and changing throughout a single track. This brings an intentional “ungroundedness” to the record and a sense of tension.” Echoing this state of unsteadiness, Mohammad writes in a poem during the recording: “Those in the diaspora, are those that have left their home, by force, by will, somewhere in between. Are we the connective tissue that makes things more interesting?” Tracks like 'Bitch, I am Islam’ and ‘Rocknrallah’ relieve some of the sense of disorientation but are no less poignant. In the former, 'Bitch, I am Islam', Mohammad uses old personal recordings of his sisters reciting the Quran or repeating Iranian revolutionary chants like “War war, until victory”, an acknowledgment of the worlds they left behind and the ones that need building. In ‘Rocknrallah’ Abdel Ja7eem Hafeth sings a rendition of the 1933 American standard tune ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’ only to evoke the smoke coming out of Gaza.

The record also features fellow Iranian artists in the diaspora, musician and sound artist based in Paris Cinna Peyghamy and club experimentalist Aria Rostami. Ian Bruner, who worked on the album’s artwork, created a composite of the different elements and motifs that form the album, an image of arduous travel towards the mirage of Americana. In this historic period of grief and anger, ‘Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you’ musically and conceptually engages world systems and beliefs through the experiences and stories of its producers.
