Egyptian producer @3Phaz has established himself as a one of a kind phenomenon in the local music scene thanks to a combination of several factors.

First and foremost his music is neither electro-shaabi nor mahraganat, but rather percussive club music that equally draws inspiration from the aforementioned Egyptian genres as it does from techno and bass music.

The second factor is 3Phaz’s complete anonymity. Only a few artists that emerge from Egypt’s music scene pick an anonymous approach to their project. This stems from 3Phaz’s desire to free himself from any constraints, be it geo-political or even the solemn link or comparison to his parallel music projects, hence granting himself complete creative freedom with 3Phaz.

Primary reason for his anonymity is definitely to make the focus mainly on the music regardless of who is making it.

The Flea Market @ Refuge Worldwide (08.12.21)

Next up for the pod is Susu Laroche! 

The Ormside regular is a big fave of ours, not only as a deejay but also her own productions, be it solo or as The Fertile Crescent w oxhy.
Her mix doesn't dissapoint, full of scuzzy, hi-nrg tackle with a hallowing feel throughout. Proper stuff this one - we also cuaght up briefly for a chat, find below >

Yo! What you been up to recently?

Everything and nothing - making work for a show at Herrretics which opens 16th June & finishing off The Fertile Crescents album which comes out on solstice via Xquisite.

How and where did you record the mix? Was there any theme etc behind it?

I put it together on ableton whilst in bed with a fever. Thematically its just my ongoing sub narrative on conflict and catharsis.

Big fans of your own productions as well as TFC, what was the inspiration with the collaboration w/ oxhy?
O and I have been working together in different forms for a few years, they taught me how to use Ableton and we've worked on many side projects for each other too. The Fertile Crescent spiralled out of our mutual interest in the legacy of the non western part of the world and a desire to make the most awful music we were capable of laying claim to, we're not done yet.

Whats next for ya this year?
More of everything good please, working towards an EP for a label and trying to figure out financing films, but thats the long game i guess.
