House music veterans Strobe and Denis the Menace team up with young Algerian producer Zakfreestyler to produce what is sure to be one of this year’s biggest festival tracks, ENIGMA. 

Between the three of them, Zakfreestyler, Strobe and Denis The Menace have either been supported by or have worked with in some capacity almost every big DJ in the scene today, such as Axwell, Eric Prydz, Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero, Deniz Koyu, Eric Morillo, and have released tracks on labels such as Spinnin, Axtone, Flamingo, Armada, Toolroom, Diffused, Black Hole and many many more. 

It’s no mystery why we signed ENIGMA: highlighted by huge house percussion with a Latin-infused groove and live horns, the track is big in every sense of the word!

A Hive Mind Moroccan Tape Mix

For this installment in the Afropop Worldwide “Exclusive Mix” series, DJ duo Toukadime has prepared a very special collection of North African songs with a thematic focus dear to the region: tea. In their own words: North African songs that bring up tea are numerous, and we provide you here with a non-exhaustive sampling of them. What’s interesting to see and to hear in the mix is that, beyond the fact that tea is a common theme throughout, its significations are multiple. Tea can be a synonym for sugar and love, just as it can symbolize hospitality and festivity, but it also can refer to the bitterness of life. We would like to share all of these facets with you just as we would like to share many cups of tea. Bsaha!

Special Gunpowder Mix by Toukadime

Usually our focus with Habibi Funk (الترجمة العربية أسفله) is not music from the 1990s and we tend to focus on more obscure releases (not always though, e.g. Al Massrieen or Ahmed Malek are well known in their countries of origin). Cheb Hasni is an exeption to this. The music is very 1990s and he is to this day a major star, his not very active and most likely not official FB page has more then three-million likes. I know very few artists that did so many songs that I deeply love. Keep in mind Hasni was incredibly productive. In his short live he recorded around 100 albums so there is a plethora of songs to choose from and my passion goes especially towards the ones he did in the years before he got murdered. It’s rai, but it’s the type of rai sentimental that also fused the production astethic of early hip hop and house to a very unique fusion. His lyrics were often fairly explizit dealing with everything from love, sex, alcohol, divorce, a mix that made him a prime aim for the non progressive forces in Algerian society of the time.

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of his assassination by Islamists who had threatened to kill him throughout the most time of his career.  Especially since Cheb Hasni was murdered for what he stood for as a musician we feel it’s even more important to keep his legacy alive and spread his name, even amongst those who might not know him outside of the Arab world so it felt right to dedicate Habibi Funk Mix #8“ solely to him. The selection is a very personal one and might not reflect what were his most popular ones but it’s the songs I love the most...

نادرا ما نكرس اطلاقات حبيبي فنك لموسيقي التسعينات أوأغاني لمطربين تمتعوا بشهرة واسعة (باستثناء المصريين وأحمد مالك الذين يعتبروا مشهورين في بلادهم).  ولكن استثنائيا نقوم باهداء ميكس حبيبي فنك الثامن للشاب حسني برغم انه من اشهر مطربين التسعينات وتدل صفحته الرئيسية علي فيسبوك - التي يتابعها أكثر من ٣ مليون فرد - علي هذه النجومية العالمية.
 في حياته القصيرة سجل حسني كم هائل من الأغاني - فقد أطلق حوالي ١٠٠ ألبوم في حياته - 
وأفضلهم لي هم الأغاني التي انتجها قبل اغتياله بفترة قصيرة.   
تصنف أغانيه كراي ولكنه راي مميز لأنه يمزج ما بين الهيب هوب القديم وموسيقي الهاوس. 
وتناولت أغانيه مواضيع مثل الحب والجنس والخمرة والطلاق بصراحة وبدون حجب أو غموض مما جعله مستهدف رئيسي عند الطيارات الغير تقدمية في الجزائر وقتها. 

بمناسبة الذكري ال٢٣ لاغتياله من قبل الاسلاميين (الذين كانوا يهددونه بالقتل طوال فترة مهنته)
قررنا اهداء هذا الميكس للشاب حسني وحده. فاننا نري أن لا بد من تخليد ذكرته ونشر اسمه حتي خارج الوطن العربي خاصة لأنه قتل بسبب هذه الأغاني وبسبب دفاعه عن آرائه من خلال موسيقته.
هذه المختارات من الأغاني شخصية جدا وليست بالضرورة أشهر أغاني له ولكنها أغانيه المفضلة لدي.

Mid 90's Instrumental Raï from Oran

Asif - Tafsut (Vinyl SP, '80 ?)

A collection of 12 taarab songs from 1960s coastal Kenya by Yaseen Mohamed (Mac & Party). Musically rich and unique for its time and place, this compilation is a treasure trove of songs and a feast for your ear.

Yaseen’s arrangements drew influences from Indian and Egyptian film music, rhythm and blues, jazz and Latin music. Sung with a characteristic, dark voice, Yaseen’s Swahili poetry was layered over rich percussion patterns, accompanied by the distinctive sound of the Clavioline (a proto-synth) and amplified taishokoto, a novelty harp instrument of Japanese origin that Yaseen helped popularise in Kenya in the 1940s. On many songs he is accompanied by his wife Mimi on vocals.

Compiled from the elusive Mzuri catalogue, originally released in Kenya in the 60’s, the LP comes with extensive liner-notes describing the life of Yaseen,
his musical background and the early days of the Kenyan record industry.

"Rapza : une histoire de samples arabes dans le rap" troisième et (presque) dernière partie !

Il nous semblait essentiel de faire un petit tour aux Etats-Unis pour explorer l'usage de samples arabes dans le hip-hop américain et leur influence sur le hip-hop français. Pour l'occasion, on va faire un stop dans plein d'endroits différents de Houston au Caire en passant par New-York, Souk Ahras et même Damas ! Dans cette aventure, on sortira du rap pour retrouver l'immortelle Aaliyah, on analysera une relation de vrai à vrai celle du producteur américain Timbaland avec le compositeur et producteur égyptien le plus célèbre des années 70 Baligh Hamdy ! Une playlist riche avec de grandes voix et de grands tubes qui traversent les générations et les territoires.  

Aux manettes toujours Bachir & Hajer qui explorent les influences du hip-hop et des musiques arabes qui seront jouées . Et pour l'occasion Bach' nous a prévu des mix qui valent la peine d'être écouté pour rendre honneur à tout ce beau monde ! 

Playlist : 

Jay-Z ft. UGK - Big Pimpin'
Abdelhalim Hafez- Khossara خساره 
Aaliyah -Don't Know What to Tell Ya
Warda -Betwaness Bik بتونس بيك 
Aaliyah - More Than a Woman
Mayada El Hennawy - Alouli Ansa قالولي إنسى
