As an English artist, producer, and peace activist, Celt Islam has carved out a genre-defying niche that infuses his music with Islamic, Middle Eastern, and world grooves, creating a futuristic dub-driven sound that is as innovative as it is powerful. His unrepentant, hard-edged industrial-strength dub packs a visceral punch, earning him a reputation for delivering electro punk of the highest calibre.
