Nos Habet Caramel LP out on Bilna'es 28 July 2023

Nos Habet Caramel - نص حبة كراميل

Bingo - بينجو

The Blood, Sweat, & Self remix EP is a chance to celebrate women in the electronic space across a variety of genres and regions. A complex 4-track exploration of self, the EP was inspired by the artist & photographer Cindy Sherman and her decades-long performative practice of photographing herself under different guises. Whilst the original EP stayed within the boundaries of 140BPM, the remix EP now extends its hand to the wider bass music scene and highlights the incredible talent across the space.

SICARIA - Still Swingin [Saliah Remix]

Guess (Nadim Maghzal Remix)

On “Dabkecore شعلت”, Laylit’s very own Nadim Maghzal (@nadim-maghzal) lends his signature frenetic touch to a Syrian Dabke classic. A rousing staple of the Laylit party dancefloor, Maghzal’s remix doubles down on the percussion and unleashes a dance of infectious vocal loops around the electric Dabkeh keyboard. 

Produced by Nadim Maghzal @nadim-maghzal
Mixed by Pierre Guerineau 
Mastered by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier @ Landsc8pe Studio, Montreal


--- Part of Laylit Compilation 001 ---
To mark the 100th edition of Laylit (@laylit), we commissioned some of our most adventurous collaborators to produce remixes of beloved songs from the Arab world. In this first of many compilation releases to come, some remixes reinterpret pop songs from the last decade while others reconfigure classics from the Tarab repertoire for the dancefloor. What they share is a spirit of experimentation and genre-bending that characterizes Laylit’s approach to percussive electronic music.

Dabkecore شعلت (Nadim Maghzal Remix)

On her sparse yet entrancing remix of Syrian singer Saria El-Sawas’ beloved “Bas Esma3 Minni”, Loris (@lorisms)  gives Sawas’ voice center stage. Echoing around a swooning drum track, El-Sawas’ assertive plea sounds as irresistible as ever.

@budalagi - TAND3M (taken from 'HAPA NI WAPI' EP, out on the 4th of June via @viefrecords)

Jersey club flavoured with baile funk and gqom? That's one hell of an international journey to be served within a single song but Kenyan producer Budalagi manages not only to do just that in one of the tracks from his upcoming EP 'HAPA NI WAPI' but also makes it sound as though these three genres should never be separated ever again. And if you think that's crazy enough, make sure to check out the full release once it comes out as it features also a mixture of genge, i.e. Kenyan hip-hop music, with... reggaeton. 

[PREMIERE] Budalagi - TAND3M (Vief Records)

Hleem Taj Alser - Mandela (Toumba Joga Bonito Mix)

hbd to me - to another year - we will stay consistent and check back here in a year.
