Acid Arab (Crammed Discs/FR)
Drama Drama (Dreamatic Records/MA)
Box2: soon
Acid Arab have firmly established themselves on the European club and festival scene with their beguiling mix of electronica and Arabic sounds and vocals. Since 2017, they have been regular guests at Gretchen, be it with their self-curated club night La Hafla, with explosive live shows or with an exclusive All Night Long DJ set.
The music collective Acid Arab was born in 2012 in the transcultural cauldron of Paris and emerged from the encounter between Pierre-Yves Casanova, Nicolas Borne, Hervé Carvalho, Guido Minisky and Kenzi Bourras. The basic idea behind Acid Arab is to build a bridge between North African and Arabic music and the sounds of Western club culture in order to give Arabic culture a place in the world of contemporary electronic music. A musical encounter of different worlds - of instruments, melodies, technology and people.
Through numerous collaborations and their travels around the Mediterranean and beyond, they have refined their sound and broken through all imaginable genre boundaries. Their stylistic spectrum ranges from Algerian gasba, Anatolian trance, synthetic dabkeh, bionic raï and much more. Acid Arab is about love, freedom, hope and telling stories of a world without barriers.
