Track List
Dar Disku release their fifth installment of middle eastern records flipped for the dancefloor. Teaming up with Milan based duo ‘Eternal Love’ - the desert island diggers and label have reissued a ‘Cairo calypso’ inspired Egyptian rarity known as ‘Zawgy Al Azeez’ along with ‘Yom Fil Kahera’ by 90’s popstar Sally.
With previous releases being played out across the world by the likes of DJ Seinfeld, Palms Trax, Hunee and more, the latest effort sees them transport you to a smoky Cairo discotheque. Having the likes of Pitchfork, Mixmag, Resident Advisor (Tracks of the Year), CRACK Magazine, Vice and Esquire on board, this record is set to be their most dauntless yet both on record and live (Mixmag Breakthrough DJ of the Year 2021)
Dar Disku was introduced to this hidden gem by fellow MENA crate digger Moataz aka ‘Disco Arabesquo” after his recent trip home to Egypt. Once the duo heard the track, they immediately knew it was destined to be flipped for the dancefloor. After tracking down the original owner of the 90’s Cairo based label ‘Digitec Records’ the duo embarked on a series of online meetings and idea exchanges between Amr (the original composer of both tracks) and Eternal Love. Over a series of weeks, ideas, voice notes and project files were exchanged and by the end of the collaboration … a calypso tinged groover sprung to life.
Embracing the original sonics of 90’s Egypt and combining this with thumping Yamaha DX7 bass, caribbean percussion and detuned snares - a future classic was born.

70年代のエジプトのポップカルチャーマガジンからその名をとったというDAR DISKUのニューリリース。アルジェリアをルーツに中近東でポピュラーだった民族歌謡(演歌)ライの歌手、90年代のエジプトのポップスターだったというSALLYの「Yom Fil Kahera」をリイシュー&リミックス。A-SIDEは、ラテン・フリースタイルにも近いような「Zawgy Al Azeez」はドラマチックで透明感のあるシンセサウンド、デュオラップで幕開ける。Dar Disku & Eternal Loveによるエディットと、インストも収録です。B-SIDEは、レーベルがCairo calypsoと呼ぶ、 ‘Yom Fil Kahera’ 。最高。 (サイトウ)
