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.

I think it's safe to say that Substrada's consistent work over the last couple of years hasn't gone unnoticed. Enjoying releases on the likes of Locus Sound, Infernal Sounds and Dread Or Dead, the Belgian producer has become one of the more prolific in the genre and the latest imprint to recognise his excellence is FatKidOnFire, who offer him a spot on the vinyl exclusive branch of their catalogue. As the only record of it's kind to come from FatKidOnFire this year, Substrada not only demonstrates his distinctive sound, but also joins up with two similarly talented producers, 11th Hour and Kusmo. However today I have the pleasure of presenting one of Substrada's anticipated solo cuts, 'Predator Flow'.

أنا لاجئ '❤️

Warped and dragged through the murky underbelly of the Levantine underground comes ‘Volume 1’ the x-rated left-field debut from the pseudonymous DJ GAWAD.

Via pitched up vocals dripping with delay, DJ GAWAD takes us on a tour of the region's most urgent artists, his interjections oscillating between cocky boast and frustrated lament.

Through this new persona, DJ GAWAD pulls back the curtain to reveal himself as the protagonist of the mixtape-like album, as replete with features as it is with expletives, an enigmatic ghoul in the back of the studio with an endless supply of broken sample flips, giving the album its old school feel while still speaking to contemporary hip hop aesthetics.

A Jordanian/Palestinian Memphis gangster rap parody par excellence, the album is infused with satirical commentary on the state of the contemporary music scene, yet DJ GAWAD shows as much as he tells, expertly fashioning a sound that makes you wonder about the identity of the artist behind the braggadocious persona of the self-titled “best producer in the Middle East.”

Drawing heavily from the Memphis rap mixtapes of the mid 1990s, DJ GAWAD has clearly identified the same brooding atmosphere in his own surroundings. On Mat3’anish (feat. Bleng & Fara7) DJ GAWAD makes his most explicit reference to the Memphis sound, twisting the hallmark cowbells that defined that movement to reflect the equally raw nature of his own setting.

Similarly, in Bandana (feat. Jurum), DJ GAWAD finds the perfect tension between his romantic sampling tendencies and the brutal sensibilities of his featured artist. As if liberated by DJ GAWAD's anonymity and irreverence, his menagerie of artists appear to have been emboldened, embracing the obscene free naturedness of the album, setting their lyrical prowess free to wander.

No expense was spared in the post production treatment of DJ GAWAD’s debut, with Iraqi-American artist Mark Gergis incorporating the Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck in the mastering process, as is evidenced by the crisp saturation of the album's sonics.


▄︻デ══━一 


DJ GAWAD, the self-proclaimed “best producer in the Middle East”, is the pseudonymous persona of the Arab artist, pioneer, philosopher and lover. The anonymity grants him complete artistic freedom to pursue his creative endeavors in full. DJ GAWAD embarked on a journey from the West to the East to collaborate with local left-field rap artists in the region to produce this masterful debut, released on Drowned By Locals.

DJ GAWAD Presents: Volume 1 is his first feature album, and he will continue releasing more projects under this moniker. Stay tuned.

الكلمات 
ممكن اختفي، ممكن ابتسم، ممكن اخجل
ممكن اسرح، وانتوا جبمي، ممكن عكسي، ممكن ابرد
ممكن اختفي، ممكن أجمع ناس بتغني، ممكن ارخي، ممكن أفشل

ممكن صح بس مش ممكن أعمل اشي تمليق 
لا و ألف لا للتمليق
دايما بكتب بمحي إذا ما بعجبني التفكير أنا ما بنزل تسليك
لازم حدا يكمل عمره ما حيكفي

شجر هون بتمدد 
جدي مع بتهبل 
ضلني هون بتجدد 
معروف ارتجل فجأة
فإذا احنا في جلسة حتخاف إذا بتجبد 
بلاش أكون حشغل بيت و ابدا اتفلسف 

جديد بطلت احرد، خبروها لمس مروة
أكيد حتقولكم احى، بدري عليه لمشحور
نحيف من دون أي شحمة، كل يوم أنا بتطور 
اعداء بصيروا اقوى كل يوم بمر زي زعتر

بتجنب الحفر و أنا حاسك انت العكس
عاد انت اللي نبهتني و أنا صغير اشد الفأس
قلتلي ياها فتلفون فحديث لبنت الحدس
قلتلي حاسك تعودت على الزعل، كنج البأس 
قلتلي توضح اني مدمن ازعل و كان مع حق
وقتيها ما انكرت أنا ما قلتلك لا 
فكرت جد منيح في الموضوع ما نسيته لهلق 
١١ سنة مرقت ضربت لسا ما نسيت هذا الدرس 

و انت ما كانش لازم تنسى، و يا ريت اجت عهيك بس 
صاير تخلط قصص صاير تخترع جوا حسك 
و أنا الصراحة عم بتغير شوف الفلو مثلا اي دا 
ليش لهالدرجة سهل شان الاولوية تفهم 
بس بنرجع للموضوع بعدين تذكرت قصة جديدة 
كمن دائرة ممكن أعمل يطلع فيها لص للجيرة
قعدة  بطل فيها عز او طعمة
ديرة الظهر الطويلة بتستفز الطعنة

ممكن اختفي، ممكن ابتسم، ممكن اخجل
ممكن اسرح، وانتوا جبمي، ممكن عكسي، ممكن ابرد
ممكن اختفي، ممكن أحكي ما أتني، ممكن ارخي، ممكن أفشل

شعاري لا للتمليق 
في اصرار
إذا بطلب جاري التنفيذ 
في هون صحاب
ضلوا رغما عن ذنبي 
شي و صار 
بقولوا بس انا ما نسيت
