Duration: 1 min 57 s
Description: Finally, closing number Khalas Habibi provides no-nonsense pulsating acid Rhythms that are undercut by a heavily percussive baseline, rendering it a suitable send off to the EP in typical Moving Still style.

Oxford, United Kingdom, February 2021 ​- Moving Still’s EP of  original tracks  seeks to hark back to the warmth and hospitality lost in  the midst of lockdowns while expanding his sonic palette rooted in his  Saudi/Irish heritage. Drawing its name from a form of welcome typical in  the Arabian peninsula, the record presents itself as a musical  invitation (Tafadal) into the Madjliss – the central hosting room of an  Arabian household. In isolation, Moving Still looks forward to inviting  people to come to the dance floor once again, inspiring prospective  guests with the warmth of the Arabic hosting tradition.

Taking its sonic roots from the Saudi-African dance tradition of the Mizmar, Moving Still blends the acid basslines his Dubliner mother would bring back to Saudi with traditional percussive patterns of his hometown  to electrifying effect. Sporting an arsenal that includes a Juno 107 and  a Roland JX3, Moving Still blends the modern acid feel with traditional arabic percussion to create a unique rhythmic palette.

A1 Batata charmer opens the proceedings with a cheeky nod to the dual Irish/Arabian roots of the project followed by Moroccan Mint Tea - a collaboration with Dublin stalwart Minos - providing a darker, deeper  and harder tone to the rest of the release. Shatta, named after a favourite hot sauce of the region incorporates elements of  Bahraini/Qatari Khaliji music with some dark, swirling vocals.  Finally, closing number Khalas Habibi provides no-nonsense pulsating  acid Rhythms that are undercut by a heavily percussive baseline, rendering it a suitable send off to the EP in typical Moving Still style.

His mix for Disco Tehran, embodies the unconditional love that you get from being on the dance floor with a hint of sadness that it will never happen the same way again. A feeling that is truly missed and he can't wait to have you all back to his Majlis aka the dance floor so very soon.
