Two intriguing live shows from Bucharest and Cairo, followed by an early afterparty
“Raze de Soare bears all the signifiers of Future Nuggets’ trademark “maneletronics” – taking cues from the bustling but traditional Romanian lăutărească - the Oriental motifs, the nostalgia and longing, mixed with 20th century electronics, a sort of psychedelic 70ties or 80ties chilled sound, starting off with dope bass and squeaky synth sounds. It could be made in the retromania of present day, as well as dug out from the vaults of Romanian synth pop.” – Easterndaze
The most infectious sound in Cairo right now is that of Rozzma. A blend of maximalist synths, thick beats, psychedelia and traditional Arabic music, warped and processed using several production filters. Rozzma’s potential was confirmed by the pure adrenaline EP “Donya Faka”, the first benchmark release on the new label from French duo Acid Arab. Rozzma does everything: program, rap (with auto-tune) and produces pure rave hypnosis, with thick bass lines like concrete walls and rhythms that hit you in the stomach, at times not dissimilar to hardcore.
The shows are followed by dj sets from “the northern ambassador of distant intimacy” Charlotte Bendiks and Future Nuggets boss Utopus.
