DH 022EP
|
London-based DJ and producer Joseph Ashworth has unveiled his captivating new single Breathe on Disco Halal. Taken from the forthcoming EP of the same name, "Breathe" showcases Joseph Ashworth's emotive, atmospheric brand of electronica. Featuring the delicate vocals of Vanity Fairy, no fewer than three versions of the track feature on the hotly anticipated EP, as well as further tracks "Alternator" and "Expectation." 2019 was a year where Joseph Ashworth's music took a turn to the left-field, combining a darker edge and catching the attention of DJ Tennis, who released his Trooper EP (LAD 041EP, 2019) on his Life & Death imprint. A stand-out release championed by the likes of Sven Vath and Adriatique, it has come to cement his position as a unique talent at the top of his game.

Mysterious trio Mount Kismet present their debut album Warmer Lanes via Disco Halal. Strung together by the dark, alluring vocals of French-Canadian artist C.A.R., the first single, "Teenage Fantasy", combines sparse, synth-driven cold wave with the kind of Middle Eastern electronic elements that have become synonymous with Disco Halal. Based between Berlin and London, Mount Kismet is a project driven by an eastern music obsession and a taste for the heavy pulse of drum machines and the rumbling of analog synthesizers. The group's only other release, the track "Prunes & Dunes", was included in Perfect Strangers, a various artists compilation put out on Disco Halal in 2018 (DH 016EP). An established artist in her own right, C.A.R. has previously collaborated with the likes of Maceo Plex, Red Axes, and Bawrut. Based in Berlin, but firmly rooted in the diverse and forward-facing musical scene of Tel Aviv, Moscoman's Disco Halal label hails from beneath the minarets of the Holy Land. The imprint exists to present a tight-knit and growing community of musicians and producers, each transmitting their unique musical identity, yet each united by a unique sensibility, as well as a harmonious balance of rhythm and experimentation.

Glas-Goan-Kenyan producer, DJ and global traveller Auntie Flo (Brian d'Souza) regularly releases music inspired by different places around the globe. He's also released remixes from African legends Baaba Maal and Oumou Sangare. Kabsa is a continuation of this trend, this time exploring music from the Levantine coastline. Levantine flavors come together with tracks named loosely after dishes from the region, with other trips to Tel Aviv, Marrakesh and Istanbul also inspiring the production. On Kabsa, all three tracks are 100% analog jams, mostly recorded in one take on an array of hardware.

Disco Halal reveals their first 2019 release with Moscoman & The Organism collaborating on Rite EP. The project includes the title track as well as the atmospheric blisters of "Chumbai" and percussive textures of "Rubab", a track steeped in the sonic influences of Moscoman's home of Israel. Flipping the leading track on its head, the Disco Halal remix of "Rite" is turned into a loopy, hypnotic edit suited for the oddballs. The sound of Rite EP is an open-ended prospect; a shared vision which Moscoman rounds off with his own Disco Halal mix of the opening production.

Another on point project from Berlin's creative record store hub OYE! Following a sun-soaked day on a trip to Tel Aviv, OYE counter culturist Delfonic wandered into an intriguing spot called Kuli Alma. Coincidentally Berlin-based Tel Avivian Moscoman was playing at the club. Call it fate, call it afternoon drinking, call it sun stroke -- whatever the reason, after a mind-blowing track dropped, he asked Moscoman about its origin, and not so long after, Disco Halal was born. A label dedicated to Middle-Eastern and Oriental sounds, with originals and edits. Edits here fromAcid Arab, Autarkic, and Mehmet Aslan.

Disco Halal boss Moscoman explains the release: "You need to know where you came from to know where you're going. For my first original EP on Disco Halal, it's time to go back to the middle eastern roots of the label. It's a special track that has been the ace up my sleeve on countless dancefloors across the globe." A patented dancefloor scorcher, "I Ran", sees Middle-eastern vocals thread their way through a lofty percussive blend, simmering up a psychedelic energy. Simple Symmetry spin "I Ran" into a chugging guitar anthem, all in cinematic twist and turns.

A homage to childhood years spent in the Scottish Highlands. To mountain biking in Fort William. To nights out in Glasgow and Edinburgh. To "Cha deoch-slàint, i gun a tràghadh" ("It's no health if the glass is not emptied") This is Alex Warren's little nod to Scotland. Disco Halal is delighted to add another genius dancefloor master to the family, Kiwi. "Pine Marten" opens, contemplative and majestic, like highlanders preparing for battle. "Daubenten's Bat" is a bonafide Disco Halal anthem with indigenous vocals and psychedelic woodwinds. Kiwi reworks "Pine Marten" into a peak time, Italo-infused roller.
