Rakete’s fourth release arrives from an ever present symbol of Cairo’s vast musical landscape, Molotof. 

The Egyptian artist presents his long-awaited solo album titled “Gabal Ahmar” that paints a deeper shade of his work and for the label. 

Since his early beginnings under the moniker of Hadayek 303, Molotof was the first Egyptian producer to combine the mahraganat sounds and percussive patterns with various textures of acid house and later on trap. This set in motion his ‘Molowave’ sound, which connected to the Rap institution and formed the backdrop of his success through collabs with artists like Wegz, Marawan Pablo, Sadat and Fifty. 

Sculpted out of what is considered his sonic signature to his city; gleaming, mahraganat-inspired synth lines and punchy 808s, Gabal Ahmar signals a coming of age for the young producer’s already defined stamp on electronic music in this corner of the world. His work inspired movements and sounds, pulsating through the raw streets of Cairo, and across the region.
