Leave It Alone - beats by sikh

In a true meeting of musical worlds, Sandhill looks to the sounds of 80s synth-pop, 90s boom-bap and classic UK jungle breaks to channel the nostalgia of Arabic cartoon theme music. This installment samples the opening theme, performed by the wonderful Syrian singer Rasha Rizk, of Japanese anime Hunter X Hunter, known widely across Arabia as Al Qanaas.

We Are The Medium

My baba called me said he really worried
Of what i might say i told him i'm not in a hurry.
hung the phone up, got on twitter, saw the shooting,
wasn't ready for it..
last twenty years feeling really blurry.
All Day:
Information Overload
Refugees on Them Boats. 
Can't you see them social codes
how can we be rich in culture, when everybody go for broke?
If Money makes the world turn, someone please burn the doe!!!
I don't trust my phone or television
What is this hell I'm living?
It rings a bell i'm biven...
Devo-tion for my culture,
no hope in politicians,
Quebec is Cold Baby, Can't feel my soul lately...
I love it, I love it, I'm loving it still.
Pay Your Taxes Numbers Don't Lie,
But the Government Will.
The way you make me feel it turns me off like Michael Jackson.
No Black Or White, 
No Sunni or Shi'ite, 
We gon' be aight.

Chorus:
Bombs Over Baghdad
I'm an Outcast, Bombs Over Baghdad
Everyday, Real Bombs Over Baghdad.
North American Life Ain't that bad.

If you muslim, 
they bannin' they bannin' they bannin' they bannin' the bannin'
Holla At Stephen K Bannon, remember that name, K Bannon K Bannon
How come the last president out in St. Vincent Copa Cabannin 
Whole Brown World Image On That Cobra Commander
All I hear is Aladdin Aladdin Aladdin Bin Laden Aladdin
Rub The Lamp, Stir the Pot, and the World is Lost,
Then the magic will happen.
The Enemy is here - That's what they all say.
I take it with a grain of Salt Bae.
Man, Everything Done Changez.
I'm dissapointed in Kanye (then Call me bro)
Too Canadian or Nah eh?
Floride in my lattes 
Soy Almond Yoga Grande
Like Ariana, I'm sorry mama, Been on Instagram The Whole Day
Fake News, So Vague, Always, Short Taste, Phase 2 (Phase 2)
Alt-Right Might Punch a Nazi
But That's a court case, well, alriiiiggghhttt
We're Getting Trapped anyway...

The wrong funky

Sharing a mix by Nawar Al-Rufaie @sandhillbeats who is also known as Sandhill. Nawar worked on this mix as one of the artist signatories to the open letter signed by 135 local Montreal artists to support Dollarama warehouse workers who are struggling for fair and just work conditions, full letter :

http://iwc-cti.ca/fre/les-artistes-montrealais-soutiennent-la-campagne-pour-la-justice-des-travailleur-euse-s-du-dollarama/

Nawar writes : "Selections were divided into two themes really: songs to inspire/uplift and others to evoke a sense of yearning for one's homeland. My motivation [to work on this mix] is pretty straight forward. I have a platform that I can use to help raise awareness about an issue that is almost literally at my doorstep (Dollarama across the street). We often hear about the struggle of migrant workers in places like Dubai etc., when we have something similar happening right here."
