Cairo Liberation Front - Remix Collection Vol 1
In just two years the Dutch DJ- collective Cairo Liberation Front has helped to make the world familiar with the existence of Electro-Cha3bi, a fascinating music genre originating from the popular neighbourhoods of Cairo.
After the release of their first mixtape, with only the best tunes of the underground of Egypt, worldwide media such as the New York Times and The Guardian featured them. With their notorious live reputation they played multiple live shows at big festivals and clubs all over Europe.
Quickly the collective were seen as the European Ambassadors of the Electro Cha3bi genre, also known as “Mahraganat”. In early 2014 they got asked by leading Dutch hip hop label Top Notch if they could remix the hyped single “Oeh Na Na” by Bijlmer rap group SBMG. This request opened up the floodgates and the collective started to get further requests to work on more electro-cha3bi remixes helping to spread the sound all across Europe and the States.
They worked together with baile funk superstar MC Maromba, made a remix for the fresh new talent from Greece, Polygrains, and they also collaborated with DFA/City Slang for a remix of Sinkane’s “New Name” off his latest album “Mean Love”.
This collection consists of previously released remixes, but the opener is a new one; this psychedelic tune is based on Al Lover’s collaboration with Trouble in Mind’s Morgan Delt.
Get ready for the new wave of Egyptian wedding rave!

Siska - Unconditional Rebel
The shortest shooting ever.
Written & directed by Guillaume Panariello
Cinematography by Thomas Rames
Visual effect by Benoit Maffone (La Planète Rouge)
Produced by VLB Recordings & La Planete Rouge : laplaneterouge.fr

This is a real video performance, a slow motion video, a sequence map with a traveling in front of 80 extras placed on 80 meters along a little road, lost in an industrial area. Filmed at 1000 frames/second with a Phantom flex 4k from a car driven at 50km/h, the shooting took 5 seconds for a 3'30 video: a living and dreamlike mural.
Richard Lloyd on 'Marquee Moon'
My part is in the right speaker. The hard part I wrote for See No Evil. No-one has duplicated it correctly. Ever.Via
I also play the solo on the beginning song on each side of the Vinyl. Venus I play all the melody except the solo, which is Tom. Friction I wrote the beginning part which goes through the entire song -- no songwriting credit Tom plays the leads on this one because I have to keep my part underneath...Marquee Moon is mostly Tom's but I play the harder part in the verses, and the first solo after the second verse. And the double stop trills, but Tom showed them to me. I play the lead in the choruses.
After the third verse I take over the rhythm while Tom plays the solo. This seems like a different version than the original. It's a little symphony with parts we all knew. The rise happens three time and then come the "Birdies" by Tom.
Then it starts over and ends. This IS a different version.
That's me starting Elevation with the "cupped" minor chord Am Dm Em. And the leads in the chorus with the bends. Then back to the "cupped minors" I play the solo which is double tracked. It is written exactly and I can replicate whatever I play which either Tom of Andy Johns could believe till I did it. Lots of doubling by me on the record.
I wrote the line to Guiding Light and told Tom if I didn't get songwriting credit I would not play it. So finally I got one song as a co-write. I play the solo and the melody for the last minute is 8 tracks of one melody of mine.
Tom plays the piano. I play the solos. Tom is a good pianist.
I turned the rhythm on Prove It into a calypso/reggae and play the leads in the chorus. Tom plays the solo...till the vocal returns.
Billy's timpani trick begins the next song & I play the rhythm as in Foxhole. Otherwise I have little to do with it.
