Jamila & The Other Heroes’ new single is influenced by Gnawa music, Khaliji Gulf Region songs, as well as Westafrican Beats; appreciating the inspirations of artists such as Aziza Brahim, Tony Allen, Tinariwen, Shishko Disco and Toot Ard.
„Let‘s build a place of togetherness where everyone is allowed
- no matter what name or passports -
live in freedom of moving souls and healing hearts
but we’re separated, geographically so close, but further than stars.“

Now Jamila & The Other Heroes release the concept double single YABA (04.06.21) and BORDER SYNDROME (mid June 2021), in which lead singer Jamila Al-Yousef is embracing her Palestinian roots by sharing her 2nd generation diaspora narratives with the world; imagining a futuristic border free Middle East that comes after the pain of being apart.
In YABA يابا, the first single of the two to be released, Jamila is asking her father about his memories of Palestine after 50 years in exile and describes what she found when travelling there on her own:
Do you remember how your home looked like? And which pictures were on the wall?
Do you remember the taste of the olive oil? Tell me about it Dad!
Do you remember how they kicked you out? And what you put in your box?
Do you remember the photo of your father, the one that got lost?
I visited after many years The house is still the same
I saw the sad mountains Where did my family go, yaba?
In the second part of the song, Jamila moves to the present, sharing her own experiences in Palestine, by addressing the sea: Who is swimming inside of you? “This is a reference to Palestinians in the Westbank being prohibited to move freely to the Mediterranean or Dead Sea. There are people my age who have never seen the sea that is only 30 min away.“, Jamila explains. Later she is chanting to the moon: Who is dancing and smiling under your light?, as a symbol of her own memories of beautiful concerts and togetherness with the people in the Middle East.
„We recorded the double single with Lucky (Martin Waschkowitsch) at the famous Bewake Studios Berlin, where most of Parcels‘ records have their home.“ Jamila tells us.

Could you introduce yourself?
"Hello, I'm Oliver Deutschmann, a DJ and producer hailing from Germany. I have been actively involved in DJing and touring clubs worldwide for quite some time now."

What are your main inspirations?
"I draw inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, including electronic music of various styles, music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, metal, ambient tunes, punk and hardcore, industrial, wave, dub, reggae, and pop, as well as the uniquely German Schlager music. I believe that every musical direction has its own treasures to offer. Additionally, I find inspiration through travel, particularly when I meet a diverse array of people while on tour. Furthermore, my creative wellspring is nourished by my passion for cooking and my penchant for watching a multitude of movies."

What do you want to express with this mix?
"This mix features all 26 tracks from my 'Best Of' compilation, a collection of songs I've produced between 2007 and 2022. I'm excited to share how they harmonize, despite spanning a remarkable 15-year timeframe. I hope you enjoy how they blend together. This compilation is released under my Slim Audio label."

RAWTALES Chapter 16: Oliver Deutschmann

Serious Times

Rocko Garoni has been socialised by Bremen's Drum 'n Bass scene and the Berlin Techno from the late 90s. Well experienced, he transfers his sounds into future - raw, trippy and driving, melting straight beats into breaky tunes. In this well-balanced techno mix, he is combining trippy and deeper tunes with straight bangers while playing with the energy dynamics of the set. Enjoy <3

The renowned artist Mila Stern did a Remix of the first track of the EP "When We Collide", and said about the process: "I used the Jupiter Bassline from the original track as the foundation for my remix, infusing it with a warm and inviting vibe. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process of working with vocal chops, treating them as standalone instruments and experimenting with granular manipulation techniques."

Wilhelm Richard's EP, "ROOTS," showcases an artist who is poised to make a significant impact on the music landscape.
