MIDDLE EASTERN FREQUENCIES
2009-01-26This week we’re delighted to introduce his most fragrant straight outta Lex Records Will Skeaping the man responsible for all the cool shit you listen too and now blogging for Exit Music.
UK radio presenter Zane Lowe has apparently escaped from BBC studio captivity and in his absence bands and musicians have been filling in.
Recent replacements have included Damon Albarn who debuted new material from Gorillaz and wisely waxed lyrical about this gem, Omar Souleyman – Leh Jani, check the video opposite.
The album Highway To Hassake album on Sublime Frequencies label.
Gorillaz will apparently be taking a middle-eastern field trip in March and they’ll be hot on the heals of London based hip hop producer Valhalla – who spent most of last year collecting samples in Syria for his forthcoming album. With World Music reclaimed from the yogurt-weavers and one of the worlds biggest bands on board, this could be just the pop-cultural exchange we need.
Yalla! Yalla!
