Electronic artist and producer Khalab has garnered international recognition for his unique blend of traditional African sounds, deep bass work, jazz, and densely layered electronic textures. His musical journey is a seamless progression, spanning from the roots of ancient tribes to the uncharted territories of the cosmos, from the jungle to the chaotic bustle of urban metropolises, and from the deepest recesses of the subconscious to the farthest and most realistic projections of future Africa. Khalab's musical philosophy centers on the fusion of tradition and evolution, synthesizing universal languages and exploring the electronic realm with a shamanic, groovy, and dark approach. These are the key elements that define his musical style. 
Collaborating in the years with great artists like Shabaka Hutchings, Moses Boyd, Tenderlonious, Rocio Molina, Yazz Ahmed, Joshua Idehen & more, Khalab is associated with prominent record labels such as Black Acre, Wonderwheel Recordings, and Real World Records. His brand new album ‘Layers’ was released last August via his own label Hyperjazz Records. 

"An hour of Afro futuristic sound full of sampling, live remixes, edits and ’sonic quotes'".

NR Sound Mix 024 Khalab

As the Summer draws in, the music keeps flowing here at WE FORFEIT. For June, we have a label we love. We have @gatedrecordings. Founded in 2019 by Dj @node and Jadey Smith, Gated has become an imprint of serious intent in the world of electronic music. 

This month, we’ve been lucky enough to speak with one the bosses of Gated, Node, about the imprint and what makes him tick. In a conversation that reveals all, and then some, we go back through the Gated catalogue and pick out some personal favourties from artists like Sound Synthesis, The Jaffa Kid and Dip Shim

In the second hour, Node takes the helm with a mix of serious proportions with gems from acid, breakbeat, electro and loads more. Expect unreleased material as well as tracks from Acidulant, Cityman Productions,  and Wave Function.

Thanks a million to Node for the interview and mix, one we will be enjoying for years to come.
