Sababa 5 return with another essential 45 for Batov Records' Middle Eastern Groove series. This time, they team up with two very different artists on two distinct tracks built from the same hypnotic groove: soulful Turkish alt-pop sensation Canay Doğan and reed flute specialist Itzhak Ventura. After four albums and a strong run of 45s and EPs, plus support from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews, Gideon Coe, and Jeremy Sole, Sababa 5 lay down a cinematic, slow-burning groove built for hazy summer days. Raz Man's crisp drumming locks in with Amir Sadot's psych-soul bassline. Though they share the same root groove, "Gaip" and "Seher" explore different moods and textures -- two individual pieces that complement each other while standing firmly on their own.
