More Middle Eastern dance fusion madness.
French production duo Acid Arab, AKA Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho, are the minds behind this year’s top-notch EP series of the same name for Parisian label Versatile. With the aim of forging a hybrid genre from the disparate sounds of acid house and Middle Eastern music, the two EPs released so far include tracks from Legowelt, I: Cube, Omar Souleyman and Acid Arab themselves, plus the brilliantly named Boyz in the Oud.
The Acid Arab LP will contain 12 tracks of new material from the likes of Professor Genius, Rikslyd, Pilooski, Etienne Jaumet and I:Cube, plus one previously released track, the Crackboy remix of Omar Souleyman from the first EP. Following its digital release in France earlier this month, the compilation will be released worldwide in early 2014. [via RA]
