beat tape #1: رقة وإحساس مش لكل الناس

Tuqoos, Julmuds debut album release is a 15 track project rooted in heavy beats that bend space and time to subvert forms of enclosure. The sounds have an almost granular detailed texture while maintaining a gripping rhythmic flow via dense bass lines and a bitter sweetness in the melodies, blurring the lines between hanging on a street corner, at a protest or in a club. Produced in Ramallah - Palestine, Tuqoos pushes up against otherwise inaccessible space, resisting the conditions of a body in capture through sounds that morph, slip through and create breaks in times and spaces that remain occupied.

Mancunian and Palestinian artists unite for a truly collaborative EP with the aim of raising awareness of solidarity with the Palestinian people. 

¿Lesh La2? is a 5-track EP consisting of collaborative tracks from four innovative producers/artists from Manchester and Palestine, in partnership with Bethelhem-based radio station Radio Alhara and made possible by music development organisation Brighter Sound in Manchester. 

The EP aims to spark conversations about the role of cultural collaboration in global solidarity movements, and sees artists exchange ideas and stems to create five completely original works.  

The set begins with Wlknokia’s dark soundscapes, searing low-end and brooding calls to action from yeguachita on “Arenas”. Up next we follow the everyday life and tales of resistance from RUUQ on the title track “¿Lesh La2?”  (translating to “why not?”) over a shimmering, glowing Scytale production. Uptempo yet conscientious bubbling cut “Disbelief” featuring the Manchester pair (Scytale & yeguachita) in combination marks the halfway point as “Fatra” brings Scytale and RUUQ together once more for a laid back yet poignant head-nodder complete with a guitar solo. Final cut “KUNTUR” reunites yeguachita with WlkNokia who provides a sinister ‘LoveMusic’ beat for a tale of indigenous solidarity from Abya Yala to Palestine.
