Thru the "Sawtuha" project and Blitz The Ambassador playing quite some shows in Morocco I've had the pleasure to travel North Africa quite frequently lately and whenever possible I did some record shopping. This is a selection of some of the finds, music from the 60s and 70s from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Some known some not yet. 

This is also a kick off to a new loose series of mixes by us, people we work with or people we are just friends with. Enjoy. 

UPDATE:

So here is the tracklist after the guys at ozart already deciphered a huge part of it. Sorry for the delay, I didn't have my hands on my records in the last days:

01. Assa'd Khoury - Al Gaba
02. Sabah – Dek El Kaff
03. Karim Shourhy & Andrea Rayder – Take Me Back To Cairo
04. Feddoul – (Reprise de Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag)
05. Ziad Rahbani – Intro Instrumental 2
06. Sharifa Fadel – Mawal El Ashak
07. Salah Ragab and The Cairo Jazz Band – Egypt Strut
08. Golden Hands – Take Me Back 
09. Elias Rahbani & His Orchestra - Moonlight Melody
10. Mahmoud Megri - Tefham
11. Elias Rahbani – Dance of Maria 
12. Abdou El Omari - Rajaat Laayoun


"Habibi Funk 001 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

Stay In Space - The Playgrounds Are Now Empty

Some records seem to come out of nowhere. Witness this debut EP by the half-Mauritian percussionist & singer Mo Kolours, which unites an array of more familiar influences with the Sega music of his island roots.

These heavily rhythmic slave songs from the Indian Ocean offer a vital clue to the sound of this enchanting EP. The rhythms lead the way here, whether the straight percussive workout of Drum Talking or the crafty vocal manipulation that drives the low-slung bump of Biddies, a song that traces an imaginary line between Theo Parrish and Gonja Sufi.

Dead of Night mines the symbolism of The Beatles’ outwardly chirpy Blackbird while his own Bakiraq (like Burt, the songwriter) resembles a soul classic pieced together from fragments around the flickering light of a fire. There’s a sense of spontaneity at the heart of Mo Kolours’ music and much of the music he loves: Jimi Hendrix, Nina Simone, King Tubby and many more. Like the best records, the result is so much more than just the sum of its influences: it’s a new feeling which breathes fresh life into the past and keeps its eyes set firmly on the future.

This EP boasts a the first ever remix by our favourite re-edit crew: Truth Is Light, whose incredible series of limited 12"s from Vancouver have accorded them cult status.

i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

'French producer Chloe Herry, better known by her stage name CloZee, has spent the better part of the last year on tour between North America and Europe. “Revolution”, her latest pay-what-you-want offering on the Gravitas Music imprint, could be seen as a reflection of those journeys. In some moments, the listener may find themselves deep in a lush forest surrounded by towering trees. Just the next minute, the surroundings morph into an underground venue among sweaty bodies all pulsating to the same beat. The true beauty of CloZee’s music can be found in this subdued yet intricate sophistication; the juxtaposition of elegance and detail create subtle contrast which can be seen swirling together upon observation of any of these five songs.'

Today I decided to challenge myself by writing a track under 12 hours. I think sometimes it’s a good way to break out of a creative slump. I started at 9am and finished around 8pm.

I'm kinda banking on you not seeing this.

I'm really not good at this stuff. I suck at actually talking so this is the best I can do until I grow some stones and just tell you.
So many fears, so much anxiety, so much worrying...but I want to know if you do too

Usually our focus with Habibi Funk (الترجمة العربية أسفله) is not music from the 1990s and we tend to focus on more obscure releases (not always though, e.g. Al Massrieen or Ahmed Malek are well known in their countries of origin). Cheb Hasni is an exeption to this. The music is very 1990s and he is to this day a major star, his not very active and most likely not official FB page has more then three-million likes. I know very few artists that did so many songs that I deeply love. Keep in mind Hasni was incredibly productive. In his short live he recorded around 100 albums so there is a plethora of songs to choose from and my passion goes especially towards the ones he did in the years before he got murdered. It’s rai, but it’s the type of rai sentimental that also fused the production astethic of early hip hop and house to a very unique fusion. His lyrics were often fairly explizit dealing with everything from love, sex, alcohol, divorce, a mix that made him a prime aim for the non progressive forces in Algerian society of the time.

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of his assassination by Islamists who had threatened to kill him throughout the most time of his career.  Especially since Cheb Hasni was murdered for what he stood for as a musician we feel it’s even more important to keep his legacy alive and spread his name, even amongst those who might not know him outside of the Arab world so it felt right to dedicate Habibi Funk Mix #8“ solely to him. The selection is a very personal one and might not reflect what were his most popular ones but it’s the songs I love the most...

نادرا ما نكرس اطلاقات حبيبي فنك لموسيقي التسعينات أوأغاني لمطربين تمتعوا بشهرة واسعة (باستثناء المصريين وأحمد مالك الذين يعتبروا مشهورين في بلادهم).  ولكن استثنائيا نقوم باهداء ميكس حبيبي فنك الثامن للشاب حسني برغم انه من اشهر مطربين التسعينات وتدل صفحته الرئيسية علي فيسبوك - التي يتابعها أكثر من ٣ مليون فرد - علي هذه النجومية العالمية.
 في حياته القصيرة سجل حسني كم هائل من الأغاني - فقد أطلق حوالي ١٠٠ ألبوم في حياته - 
وأفضلهم لي هم الأغاني التي انتجها قبل اغتياله بفترة قصيرة.   
تصنف أغانيه كراي ولكنه راي مميز لأنه يمزج ما بين الهيب هوب القديم وموسيقي الهاوس. 
وتناولت أغانيه مواضيع مثل الحب والجنس والخمرة والطلاق بصراحة وبدون حجب أو غموض مما جعله مستهدف رئيسي عند الطيارات الغير تقدمية في الجزائر وقتها. 

بمناسبة الذكري ال٢٣ لاغتياله من قبل الاسلاميين (الذين كانوا يهددونه بالقتل طوال فترة مهنته)
قررنا اهداء هذا الميكس للشاب حسني وحده. فاننا نري أن لا بد من تخليد ذكرته ونشر اسمه حتي خارج الوطن العربي خاصة لأنه قتل بسبب هذه الأغاني وبسبب دفاعه عن آرائه من خلال موسيقته.
هذه المختارات من الأغاني شخصية جدا وليست بالضرورة أشهر أغاني له ولكنها أغانيه المفضلة لدي.

Hope you love it

Lyrics:

Ewwww
Yuh
Drop it like ew yuh
Pick up like who ya?
Hungry for moolah 
Paper on my mind
We rollin paper let's get high
We got the real ones on our side
Got All these sounds we ain't confined 
And all these motherfuckers talkin shit
Get silent when the basses hit
You're lookin like a basic bitch
Don't seem to know where your place is
But i will show you
I'll control you
We some real and y'all some tofu
Imitation 
Mind is vacant
Truth forsaken
Fuckin lamens
... (bitch please 
Swerve when I lean 
Trip in my dreams 
By any means)x2
Bitch
Hit with that lane switch
Take a step a back swish 
Dropping my shots bitch
Fuckin your thots bitch
I just can't stop yet
Got some more pot bet 
Coming up progress
Drippin like faucets 
Get your girl to drip drip drip
Suckin on my tip tip tip
What I want I get get get 
Yeah bitch I am vindictive 
Salty like a mcchicken 
Why you gotta be like this
Coming for my head isis
No vanilla ice ice bish 
But my skin white white bitch
So I gotta write like this
Rolling up some fine ficus 
Trippy like a sci fi disc
Oh my god I'm just too good
Livin like you wish you could 
Gotcho bitch up on my wood
Fuckin her on my car hood 
Yuh
Smoking on woods
Yuh
Smoke out the roof
Yuh
Misunderstood 
Yuh
But it's all good 
Yuh
... (bitch please 
Swerve when I lean 
Trip in my dreams 
By any means)x2
Bitch
Been with that trip 6
Born with my wrist slit 
Bitches on this dick
All my clothes fitted
Life is like free throws
Choosing where we go
Fuckin on these hoes 
Shitting on people
... (bitch please 
Swerve when I lean 
Trip in my dreams 
By any means)x2
