Soundway return with a debut record from an act seemingly custom built to appeal to our tastes. Original from Bahrain, UK-based duo Dar Disku make the kind of tunes that dancefloors were designed for, with a sound that swings wildly from "disco to Raï, piano house to Turkish psychedelia, ambient to Bollywood". Featuring Asha Puthli! - Flying Out
The debut album from Bahraini-born, British based musical duo Dar Disku is a celebration of their Arabic heritage and multicultural influences that melds golden age West Asian and North African sounds with a contemporary dance floor focus. Recorded between the UK, Algeria, Turkey and Tunisia, the album seamlessly crosses from disco to Raï, piano house to Turkish psychedelia, ambient to Bollywood and features guest artists from Algeria, Turkey and Bahrain as well as legendary Indian singer Asha Puthli.
The album distills the energy of the duo's renowned DJ sets and breadth of their influences into a fresh and exciting album that reflects and celebrates the ever increasing cultural exchanges found in clubs and on dancefloors the world over.
