Duckfood invites you to the music of Tunisia. This mixtape features different styles of music but consists predominantly of Mezoued, a genre of popular traditional music based on North African Amazigh scale rhythms. It incorporates Tunisian Darbouka drums and a bagpipe called a mizwad/mezoued. Originally the music of the countryside and the working classes, it is often played at weddings and parties. The themes of Mezwed are typically social: immigration, racism, family and love. Nowadays with electronic influences traditional sounds get stretched into new fusions. Some of the artist on this mixtape include Abeltif El Ghozzi, Saïda Ennablia, El Mensiyat, Abeltif El Ghozzi and Hèdi Tounsi. For more, check out https://duckfood.bandcamp.com.

Balkan Express Mixtape (RIAFC097)

An immersive and head-spinning collage of radio broadcasts and field recordings made on location in Syria in 2007 by Jahmorinz. You’ll hear street and market sounds, muezzins, local radio transmissions, local dabke bangers, cats and frogs, a killer Omar Souleyman recording, the eerie groans of a noria or hydropowered wheel, and more.

"Son Sistem Tsiftetelli Vol.1 (1933-1969)” by Souma Records is the first part of a selection of Greek and Turkish tsiftetéli – or çiftetelli – songs and instrumentals, some in Greek Rebetiko and Laikó style, others in the oriental folk tradition of Greece and Asia Minor led by Roma musicians.

For Greeks dancing tsiftetéli is a social thing, sometimes performed by couples. During the 60s and 70s in Greece and the US, live Laikó bands and oriental ensembles were often accompanied by a belly dancer, although this was not the case when the style first crept into the Greek repertoire when the repatriated musicians from Asia Minor expressed their pain and loss through this music. Mainly during the 60s the gloomy lyrics disappeared from the tsiftetéli and it morphed into a beguiling dance. Modern belly dancers hardly ever dance to tsiftetéli anymore but prefer instead the typical dance routines (raks sharqi) from the Middle East. The magic of tsiftetéli lies within its hypnotic grooves, intoxicating melodic scales and the extreme musicianship of the performers.
 
The term tsiftetéli derives from the turkish word çifte-telli, which means ‘double-stringed’ (diplóchordo in Greek) and refers to an authentic violin technique (cfr tracks 4,11,16 & 17) of running two strings through the same nut slot of the instrument creating tautophony (two strings playing at the same pitch) or tuning them an octave apart. This spaced-out effect generates a more oriental and sensual feel.

All tracks are recorded from Fred Kramer's (Souma Records, BE) collection of shellac and vinyl records he excavated over the last 10 years in Greece, Egypt and the US.

RIAFC 008 - EAST AFRICAN MIXTAPE

East African Mixtape (RIAFC 008)

Just before 2020 comes to an end, Berlin-based artist @leozylberberg graces this crazy (!) year  with an oddball of a track: “Sheshells” is a total earworm and at the same time a bit off, maybe. It’s chill, it’s haunted, and it might be the most appropriate end to 2020 one can imagine. “Despite its imperfections, it feels like some sort of antidote to something,” as the Australian artist puts it herself.

Sheshells is published as a digital single. It features an artwork from Paris-based graphic designer and art director Olga Prader’s Ftantasy series. The track is Präsens Editionen’s fourth audio release in 2020, following music by Remo Helfenstein, @samuelreinhard , and @damexlove , that is ranging from gospel and dark ambient-informed lullabies to proper sad-boy-reggaeton-heat.

Zylberberg is a mainstay at @sameheads , Berlin’s most infamous pub / fashion store / club / art space / what not. In 2017, she came to attention with a split tape realized with the wonderful Belia Winnewisser. Earlier this year, the Australian artist published Greatestings on @noisekoelln , a label that came back to life just for this highly limited 10” after a four-year period of inactivity. Zylberberg is part of Balance Crew alongside partner in crime @dane-close .
