Fact Mix 827: Angel D'lite (Sep '21)

“This mix really got me moving when I was recording,” says Moktar, the fast-rising DJ and producer behind Crack Mix 477. 

It’s not hard to see why. Coming in at just over 45 minutes, the mix quivers with life as captivating rhythms, “Arabic flavours, and percussive swings with some melodic basslines” come together with nimble mixing across a club-primed set shared just in time for the weekend.

Up next for Tapes #99 is moktar, a DJ and producer effortlessly combining club and techno with traditional Arabic instrumentation, sampling and production. A hybrid style, moktar’s music is new to the clubs of Australia and is itching to make its way across dancefloors.

moktar’s heritage has always been at the forefront of his identity. Navigating racism and abuse was an everyday reality growing up in the Shire, especially in the years surrounding the Cronulla riots. Regardless, Moktar’s Middle-Eastern background found its way to become a source of pride: and with that pride comes the inspiration to share the sounds of his culture through his own music.

Although he plans to split his years between London and Melbourne in the future, for now moktar is resigned to Australian shores to share his signature sound. Signed to Mall Grab’s label Steel City Dance Discs, moktars double EP output is expansive and explores techno and IDM through the lens of Arabic percussion and instrumentation.

been on the mend for a bit, but it took a LOT longer than i expected to feel whole enough get back to making music. it only finally clicked in the last couple weeks of august, so I’ve spent the past 15 days feverishly sketching out ~2 years worth of pent up tracks - here are some of them.

outrageously sleep deprived and still pretty creaky, but this past 2 weeks I’ve felt more myself than I have in a long time :))

Anz - Spring/Summer Dubs 2023

"Ah for once I have so much to say about a mix. It was recorded at home on my janky cdjs, the very last night before it was due (sorry Frankie!). I don’t think I’ve ever held off recording a mix for this long before, but with how the world is at the minute I couldn’t figure out what to put together? I’ve been feeling introspective and moody and caged in and anxious and full of energy, but then there are these sweeping moments of optimism for when we can all come together again. So I guess that’s what this mix is, within the framework of the dance music I love. I sneaked in a first listen of a new track by me, and there’s a bit of modified Rashad towards the end too - I’ve been thinking about his music a lot at the minute. 

I really can’t wait for us all to hold each other in the rave again, and I hope this mix can help tide us over until then." - @yung-anz
