Bled el fen Album Premiere | Idriss D

Idriss D officially launches the brand new label Nedjma with his own 2-vinyl, 8-track album as first release. The imprint will serve as a platform for up and coming talents from the Arabic world who are not represented in the current musical landscape. A very bold statement from Idriss himself, this record sees the Algerian dj and producer infuse his personal history into what he loves the most and share it with the rest of the world. First track Tsakhbira works as the perfect opener for the album with a melodic ambient-like mood and Arabic chants in great with the great singer from Constantine Zineddine Bouchaala , with second track Beld el fen following in the same vein with traditional instruments interspersed with synth stabs and eerie atmos. Chazil’s upbeat rhythm spices up the vibe, a mix of ethereal singalongs and bouncy percussions. Mohamed is the first foray into Electronic territory, a downtempo piece featuring French vocals and plenty of analog industrial clanks that lead into subsequent Hey Galbi in feat with Gasba electrique , an exquisite melodic house number with acid synth melodies and piano keys. Bab el oued feat the great Leila moon delves into more experimental landscapes, with darker tones, blurred vocals and pulsating beats, while Elf Leila is ( tribute to our keltoum ) quintessential Electroclash Arabic music, blending these two genres together, with a syncopated super catchy bassline. Closing track Harramt ( tribute to warda el djazaira ) is a whirlwind of snare rolls, 303 arpeggios and nods to North African heritage sounds. the album premiere will be at refuge worldwide in exclusivity .
