Muslimgauze

(more info forthcoming / requested)


Man i have just recently turned on and tuned into the vibe created by
Muslimgauze.  I have to admit its completely enthralling.  As tribal and
dark as it can get, sweeping down to the depths of turkish prisons or to
ancient camps of Moorish soldiers preparing to do battle damn this is a
groove.  Light on synthetic sound heavy on traditional drumming(real or
Memorex i don't know) this group captures its own niche in ethnic techno.
Brooding ambient pieces with bits of the local farmers blackmarket lingo
sampled for good measrure help to break the intense mood created by the
stripped out tribal beats.  I don't know if they throw raves out in the
Arabian Desert or not, but if they do I could only imagine...

Don't get turned off by the political titles or coverart, Khadafi, Khomeni
abound.  Just slip Vote Hezbollah or Cope de Tat/Abu Nidal in for your dose
of idm Ali Babba style.
