[MEDS X] This new release by 00970, Khatim Sulaiman, is a unique collaboration between a diverse array of artists from around the world. Unified by one imaginative piece, lending itself to a wider spectrum of visions of sound from four unique artists, each having created a variation that stays true to the original soul while infusing it with its own energy and spirit. Different souls originating from one acoustic body, different styles extending from the same sound identity.

 ألبوم "عالم ثاني" من الحان وكلمات وغناء مايا الخالدي و انتاج توليف. الالبوم مستلهم من الفلكلور الفلسطيني متأثراً بالحاضر ليتخيل مستقبلاً صوتياً ما. كل الأغاني تتضمن إما كلماتاً أو ألحاناً أو عزفاً من تسجيلات صوتية من أرشيف الموسيقى التقليدية التابع لمركز الفن الشعبي. يتأثر غناء وتلحين مايا الخالدي في موسيقى غربية مختلفة ولكن في هذا الألبوم تتعلم مايا وتمارس الموسيقى التقليدية الفلسطينية ، وتصل إلى تعبير صوتي جديد خاص بها ، وهو في حالة تغير مستمر. تستخدم مايا الخالدي في التلحين في ألبوم "عالم تاني" التكرار وبناء طبقات من ألحان وأصوات وكلمات في الأغاني كوسيلة لاستعادة وتكرر الموسيقى الفولكلورية. 

The album "Other World", is composed, written and sung by Maya Al-Khaldi and produced by Tawleef. 
The album is inspired by Palestinian folklore, influenced by the present, to imagine a sonic future. All songs include either lyrics, melodies, or recordings from the audio archive of the traditional Palestinian music of the Popular Art Center in Ramallah
The singing and composition of Maya Al-Khaldi is influenced by different western music styles, but in this album Maya learns and practices Palestinian traditional music, arriving at a new vocal expression of her own, which is in constant flux. In this album,Maya Al-Khaldi uses repetition and layering of melodies, sounds, and lyrics in songs as a way to reclaim and re-interpret folkloric music.



كلمات 
 
الضوء نفسه غربةٌ باردة 
غمرتني 
أم أنه العصف
البئر العتيق يتشبث بمكانه 

البحر سماء تتحول لأنثى لسبع سنين 

من ينطق باسم الآلهة؟ 

عتمة الضوء 
داكنة 
لاتنم 
لاتختفي
لا تسكت 
لا تنتهي 
لا تقاتل 
لا تمضي 
لا تخبط 

في التربة الذاكرة 
كهف 
حيث يرجع كل شيء ولا شيء يرجع تماماً 



Lyrics (translated) 

The light itself is a cold exile
It floods me
Or is it a storm?
The ancient well clinging to its place

The sea is a sky that turns into a female for seven years

Who speaks in the name of the goddesses?

The darkness of the light
Is dim
does not sleep
does not disappear
does not quite down
Is endless
does not fight
does not pass 
does not hit

In the soil memory is a cave
Where everything returns and nothing returns the same

Nothing Comes Back the Same (Al Daw')  - الضوء - Maya Al Khaldi - مايا الخالدي

The Majazz Project 

Over several years, Mo’min Swaitat has amassed an archive of rare tapes and vinyl from Palestine and beyond, spanning field recordings of weddings to revolutionary tracks and synth-heavy 80s funk. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Jenin in the north of the West Bank. The Majazz Project is a research project borne out of the archive, focused around sampling, remixing and reissuing vintage Palestinian cassettes. It is a collaboration between Arab and non-Arab DJs, producers and artists interested in shedding new light on the richness and diversity of Palestinian musical heritage.

Tuqoos, Julmuds debut album release is a 15 track project rooted in heavy beats that bend space and time to subvert forms of enclosure. The sounds have an almost granular detailed texture while maintaining a gripping rhythmic flow via dense bass lines and a bitter sweetness in the melodies, blurring the lines between hanging on a street corner, at a protest or in a club. Produced in Ramallah - Palestine, Tuqoos pushes up against otherwise inaccessible space, resisting the conditions of a body in capture through sounds that morph, slip through and create breaks in times and spaces that remain occupied.
