Out via Bandcamp on the 25.10.21 https://moving-still.bandcamp.com/

Moving Still is back with three Egyptian bangers for a freebie EP called Ouddy Bangers Vol.1. It follows on from his infectious disco floor-filler Sidi Mansour (Moving Still Edit), which took the festival circuit by storm, and his italo-esque edit of Egyptian pop star Azza Kamal's 'Maadna Bkra' in collaboration with Dutch producer Tjade. Both edits reached #1 in Rush Hour's best sellers chart and played out across the world with support from Palms Trax, Hunee, Skatebård, David Vunk, CC:DISCO!, Esa Williams and Nabihah Iqbal.

The A side is a love letter to Hamid El Shaeri, king of Westernised synth-pop in Egypt. A1 features Cheb Arab who was the protege of Hamid, sadly making only one album before dying in mysterious circumstances. “Lo Kan”, from the album of the same name, tells the story of love, patience and passion. The track features Moving Still’s signature arpeggiated bassline and pitched down vocals to add depth to the passionate lyrics. The resulting edit is dancefloor ready, whilst still retaining the emotion of the original. Meanwhile the A2 is the last track from the first album of Magdy El Shaeri, composed by his older brother Hamid. Western pop with a Middle Eastern twist, the Arabic maqam trills are at home with the funky guitar and synth sounds. The saturated TR707 gives the track a grittier feel, and a reverb-heavy Roland JX3P motif is carried through the song.


The B side is Egyptian pop royalty Simone, produced by one half of Germany’s Modern Talking, Dieter Bohlen. The lyrics reflecting on life are unusually emotive for an Italo disco-esque banger, and these act as inspiration for the recreation of the song. The dialogue between the 303 and ARP bass provides the track with a distorted core, and the mournful lead in the outro is recreated and repeated to amplify the melancholy of the track. This infectious upgrade is sure to be in your ears for long after the last note ends.

“The idea of the edits is that they are my favourite Egyptian artists and the songs are really personal to me. I always imagined these musicians to have worked together at some point because of their shared connection to Hamid El Shaeri and possibly gone out together for a bit of argila (shisha) and some vino.


I wanted to share these tracks with everyone for free as a thank you for the enduring support I have received over the last number of years. I hope it gives you the same HI-NRG and joy it gave me while editing them!”

My Sabah ll Noor show is back on @radioalhara & @dublindigitalradio this Sunday! 9am - 11am IST/ 11am- 1pm Bethlehem!

Wasn't able to find time to do this show but there is no better way of introducing a brother and good friend Yassine @track-advisor. Track Advisor (Yassine Hammar) the founder of The Calling, the creative director of Chez Damier, Downtown Vibes Tunis and the co-founder of Eddisco Records, Tunisia's first record shop and one of its main leading label.

He has put together a beautiful 2 hours of fire. Yassine has encouraged me from the very first time we met in person in Paris and since then we have been always able to speak on a deep level about music, family and just general lols.

Here is a blurb from him

"This mix is representative of who I am but surely, of what I've been through this year, a wild journey of extremes going from Incredibly beautiful moments to some very depressing ones. Music itself was both a means to resist and to accept. 
The mix includes elements of my roots as a Tunisian, North African and Mediterranean. It connects every sound and therefore every culture that makes up ours. 
It's also a message of love and friendship from Track Advisor to Moving Still for the mutual support and deep connection we have as individuals but also as two simple humans coming from a shared heritage."

I could not be prouder to be part of such an important compilation 🇵🇸

To see all these 40 artists come together in solidarity with Palestine is a strong affirmation of our values and morals. We will always want Palestine to be free. It's great to see some familiar friends on this: @moktarmusic , @saliahgram @pekodjinn @arabianpanthermusic @habibifunk 

Thank you, @houseofafandi, for making this happen. I truly hope we can raise enough funds to help those in need. The last few weeks have been more than devastating for the Palestinian people. When you see people who look and speak like you getting massacred, it really tears a part of you. But I do believe the West is starting to see what us Arabs have always seen from a very young age.

"Akbar Zag," which directly translates to "the biggest shit" The word 'zag' is more frequently used in the GCC as "Kul zag," which often just means "shut up talking and eat shit" . This song was originally intended to be part of my album, but the rhythm and feeling felt more appropriate for this compilation. After seeing so many fabricated lies, you can't help but wonder that this is the worst imaginable khara "Shit". So كل زق! (Kul zag!)

From the needle drop, the listener is swept away by Moving Still. The Jeddah-born, Dublin-based artist graces Bordello A Parigi with Close to the Shams, four works that summarise his broad range and even broader influences. Pulsating percussion push piano plumes and brass blasts in “Zaman.” A SWANA-inspired scent weaves through the track, with snare rolls adding spice and speed to this heady opener. Tempos drop for “Bang of Luban.” Beats are bolstered, acid squirms lending texture, while the central melody bends and turns from traditional refrains to house reimaginings.

Those traditional undercurrents continue into the B-Side. The title piece is big and bold, kicks split into broken beats while nuanced mizmar notes dip and dive with a swallow-like agility. “Sunday Rollover (Suntop Mix)” calls time on the quartet. A relaxed rhythm gives support and space to low-slung lounge lines, a dreamy and enchanting finish to an EP that illustrates the breadth and depth of Moving Still.
