A2 - Sally - Zawgy Al Azeez (DAR DISKU & ETERNAL LOVE EDIT)

Kjære Mamma

The door of the plane flung open and its passengers began making their way down the stairs onto the hot tarmac. It was a world a way from the place they'd left; every inch of the sky was bright blue and the trees that surrounded the runway were all bursting with life. All she'd ever known was the cold and dark, just harsh winters and dreary summers, all colour and brightness squeezed out of everything. She squinted up at the sun, letting the warmth bathe her whole. This is what she'd been missing; for the first time she felt like she was really living.

Dublin-based producer and DJ Jamal Sul is on quite the roll recently. Under his moniker Moving Still he recently made his debut on Palms Trax's CWPT label with a collection of original cuts, and he's also responsible for a catalogue of top notch edits that breathe new life into old Arabic gems. His next project is for Amsterdam's Disco Arabesquo and Kuwaiti cassette label Al Nazaer, which sees him inaugurating a new 12" series of edits called 'Yallah Ya Ashab', with two fresh takes on 90s Kuwaiti songs: the first a flip of singer and actor Bashar Ali Sultan's 'Omrena' and the second a rework of a one hit wonder by a band called Firkit el Lotus.

HRDF: Who are you?
D: I am Dacou, a DJ/producer based out of Toronto. 

HRDF: How did you discover this track?
D: I saw a local ad in Toronto for somebody wanting to get rid of some old Arabic cassette tapes, so naturally I was curious. Turns out it was an elderly gentleman who had them, and they had belonged to a lady from Egypt who he was in love with over thirty years ago. Unfortunately things didn’t work out between them and she went back home, leaving their love unfulfilled. He never saw her again and these tapes were all that were left of her, but in his old age he felt it was right to pass them on. This tape was amongst them. 

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it?
D: After discovering this song and coming to know it was in fact a love song, a declaration of love - I thought it was a fitting ode to the gentleman who had given me the tapes, while serving as modern dance-floor friendly refresher of a great Algerian Raï track. 

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans? 
D: To keep digging for gems and dropping betters!

A1 Jacky Ferreira - 69 Bingo

As he makes his way down vibrant streets, the rays of light from lamps above smear in his direction as if singlehandedly powering his enthusiasm. His eyes fill with people of varying demeanours, yet he pulses at the gleeful unknowingness of what will happen as he proceeds towards his fate of joy, love and music. His surging excitement protects from the cold air of the dark winter as his only focus is warmth and light. His heart rushes at the thought of his friends eagerly awaiting his arrival in the pub down the road. Sometimes us lucky few realise just how lucky we are. 

What an absolute pleasure it is to ‘reintroduce’ Wolfram’s 'Automatic Dub', which is due a second edition re-release at the end of the month. The italo-inspired track was a hit in 2018, steeped in Moroder-esque synths, 80s nostalgia and non-stop-feel-good vibes. The re-release features two additional remixes from Rex The Dog and St. Petersburg producer Cable Toy who's Balearic-infused twist has you dreaming of Ibiza in the 90s.

PREMIERE: Wolfram - Automatic Dub (Cable Toy Remix) [Public Possession]
