Trans-continental club fist-bump from Cairo’s 3Phaz and Medellín’s Tra Tra Trax, sending the dance dizzy with incendiary mahraganat rudely remixed by E-Saggila, ZULI, Amazondotcom and OMAAR
Sustaining label pressure from Nick León, DJ Babatr, Doctor Jeep and Tomas Urquieta, the Cairene dynamo 3Phaz serves a trio of Egyptian avant-street rave curveballs that update links between Afro-Latin and Arabic traditions. ‘Drum Track’ deploys a fiercely militant barrage of pitching, ricocheting breaks that resolve to a hardcore techno blow-out and back again, whereas ‘Red Strobe’ goes slower on a pendulous mahraganat dancehall flex underscored with jet engine thrust, and ’Slomo Strut’ yokes that sound back harder of the offbeat, accentuated with rave alarm keyboard stabs and nagging EDM vamps.
NAAFI capo OMAAR emphasises the Afro-Latin suss of ‘Drum Track’ on a pounding jack; Iraqi-Canadian E-Saggila impresses most with her heat-seeking rework of ‘Slomo Strut’, which Amazondotcom squashes to a more serpentine cambia-techno flow, and ZULI brings back to roost in a roasting brand of ballistic Cairo soundsystem madness replete with spin-backs and helter-skelter oriental keys.
