Cartographies of Rhythm - Middle East
This month’s episode traces Middle Eastern percussion into the fringes of club experimentation. Dusty grooves move like heat across desert air, cutting through electro-tinged breaks that sink into the weight of broken-beat techno, and jagged drum & bass.
As this episode explores sounds rooted in the wider region, we cannot ignore the devastating reality unfolding in Gaza. For those who are able, humanitarian relief and grassroots initiatives can be supported through resources and fundraisers linked below, as well as organisations such as Medical Aid for Palestinians and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
