V.A. Acid Arab Volume 3

Wild is the hashtag for the third ep in the "acid arab collections" series. Wild, because where can you step when the dancing area has been electrocuted by the essence of eastern and arabic music? Keywords: intense freedom and instant trance. Once more, parisian band acid arab and versatile label have invited other musicians to share the experience of letting this timeless cultural fluid flow into the coldness of occidental electronic savoir-faire. since ‘collections’ ep01 was released more than a year ago, it seemed fair that the music would evolve to a next level. what happened took everybody by surprise: producers jumped into vehemence! Acid arab’s own track ‘zahr’ is an outrageous race, based on an epic merged rhythm of jordan artist shadi khries’ percussions and the machine beats. Acid arab keyboardist and producer pierrot casanova delivers an uncanny solo that moves body from mind to feet. Gilb-r recorded in versatile’s studio more percussion from shadi khries, as well as his voice, plus the frantic saxophones of etienne jaumet. He then proceeded to create the soundtrack of being a living drone in wasteland, flying from near the sun to a dry and mysterious sand. The song is haunted by an old jordan poem that adds even more deepness to this timeless piece. Mysterious french duet society of silence, whose live acts stunned anyone who luckily witnessed them, has been on acid arab’s wishlist for a while and already released 2 ep's on versatile. Worth waiting ‘baghdad’ is furious, inventive and harsh on the dancers. Mean acid line, possessed beatings and creepy voices come together on an in-your-face style that smells of danger and excitement. Berlin artists an-i and hugo capablanca have also chose the path of wrath on ‘farsi farce’. With a few iranian words and a lot of keyboards, a punk beat and a ravy bass, they succeed in establishing a fine line between middle-east nightclubs and flemish warehouses. If it makes you feel like being in the middle of a fight, that’s probably good.
