Electrosteen (LP)

Released on January 17, 2020: Electrosteen is an initiative to bring Palestinian traditional music, in it's widest sense, into the contemporary international art/musical scene. A team of professional researchers/musicians/technicians carry out an extensive fieldwork, documenting the oral musical traditions of different ethnic and religious communities of historic Palestine. 

Featuring staples of Arab EDM, as well as emerging and up & coming producers, the star-studded cast includes SAMA’, Julmud, Al Nather, Muqata’a, Sarouna M., Nasser Halahlih, Bruno Cruz, and Basel Naouri, with guest appearances by Mehdi Haddab of Speed Caravan, Walaa Sbait of 47 Soul, and BLTNM sensation Shabjdeed.

The collective of carefully curated young Palestinian musicians and DJs came together for a two week residency in Ramallah in 2017. They produced original tracks, using the database from the Popular Arts Center in Ramallah, containing an audio library collected from existing archives or recorded from professional and amateur urban, rural and Bedouin musicians.
