Known for their head-bopping, hip-thrusting, zalghouta-inducing tunes, Restless Leg Syndrome seamlessly fuse Western and Middle Eastern references in their work. Their tastefully-crafted mélange strikes a nerve; providing a trace of nostalgia for an ever-growing diaspora and a hint of excitement to the unfamiliar ear. The Vienna-based group is comprised of longtime DJ and producer d.b.h and turntable maestros Chrisfader and Testa. A seasoned enthusiast of Lebanese music, d.b.h provided the influence for their critically acclaimed second EP “Dabkeh”. The EP paid tribute to the Mediterranean form of line-dancing, by flipping samples of Lebanese music into irresistibly groovy beats. 

The group began working loosely on their upcoming project over a year and a half ago. The onslaught of the pandemic shot prospects for gigs short and the guys quickly found themselves in the studio five days a week. With busy schedules cleared up, they locked down and focused full-throttle on music. Having toured the MENA region after releasing “Dabkeh” and dug up an expansive library, their newest body of work samples gems from Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Irak and Lebanon. Moreover, the guys stumbled across 80’s Lebanese electro-pop star Emaad Sayyah living in Austria and proceeded to work together in his studio as well as sampling his previous work for their upcoming project.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection. 
I started buying records when I moved to Athens, one decade ago. Now, I moved back to Crete an Island at the south of Greece. The living is nice but the record stores apart the traditional ones are hard to find here. Thus, most of my collectable records are combined with my trips. I am also a DJ/producer, so the records I choose are chosen because I know that I can make use of them in my production or on stage. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
Main reason I love the 45s is that I get a slight better quality at the sound and the groove of the record. Moreover, as a dj, I am really into their portability , easy peasy in my travel record bag.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
The selection for the 45/7 mix I did is coming from vinyls I collected from a trip to puerto rico. I searched in numerous stores for them and for me this mixtape is giving the picture of their music, culture, daily life and recalls memories from my experience there.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?
