Sample:

"Wewantsounds release Sharayet El Disco a selection of Egyptian '80s disco and boogie tracks curated by Egyptian DJ Disco Arabesquo from his vast collection of cassettes. Most tracks have never been released on any other format and are making their vinyl debut with this set. A journey through the funky sound of '80s Egypt, Sharayet El Disco (which can be translated by "Disco Cassettes") features Simone, Ammar El Sherei, and more obscure names from Cairo's cassette culture. Sharayet El Disco is part of an important mission for Moataz Rageb aka Disco Arabesquo. The Amsterdam-based Egyptian DJ has been collecting cassettes from Arab-speaking countries and its diaspora for many years and has amassed a vast collection of Egyptian music concentrating on the '80s, the sound he grew up listening to. His goal has been to search for these rare sounds and make them known to a new vinyl-hungry audience. During this decade, the rich Egyptian music industry, which had seen such stars as Oum Kalthoum, Abdel Halim Hafez, and Warda take the Arab world by storm in the '60s and '70s, was going through a new phase and the cassette format was the cause. This radical change enabled many young musicians and producers to spread their music directly to consumers duplicating cassettes themselves. A new vibrant music scene erupted in Cairo blending their sound with trends coming from the US and Europe including, of course, disco, soul, and funk. The cream from this scene was soon picked up by the most daring labels, including Mohsen Gaber's Alam El Phan, Sout El Hob, and Americana. Sharayet El Disco gives you a glimpse of these great tracks which -- for most of them -- were only ever released on cassette. The set is a unique insight into the diversity of the Egyptian disco sound, from the pulsating disco of "Hezeny" by Hany Shenouda's Al Massrieen band to the boogie of Simone's "Merci", via Firkit El Asdekaa's tongue-in-cheek "Eklib el Sheriet" ("turn the cassette to the other side"), produced by legendary Egyptian musician Ammar El Sherei. The music is both inventive and funky and played with both Western and Arab instruments proving that quality of Egyptian music. Audio remastered for vinyl by David Hachour/Colorsound Studio in Paris. LP artwork by young Egyptian graphic designer Heba Tarek. Includes two-page insert featuring artwork of the original cassettes plus insightful liner notes by Moataz Rageb. Also features Afaf Rady, Dr. Ezat Abou Ouf & el four M, FIrkIt el Ensan, Eman el Bahr Darwish, Firkit Americana Show, and Lebleba. "

Tany Tany goes hard

merci ye needs to sample that 😎

the first thing I notice is "I wonder if Egypt was really into Abba records, because the synths and harmonies and adlibs is really Abba-esque"

I'm guessing the Egypt dance scene was big into ABBA because their records were the most accessible. It was like getting M&M bag.

Heard of Abba before and knew they were mad popular but I honestly never listened to a single song from em, im loving the production on this so maybe I should check em out as well

the one word I understand so far isnt even an English word its mercy

I'm lost, I need Egyptian fam to help me out with this

Are they just saying "We need to boogie on down on the dance floor its your chance what are you waiting for. " ? that's my guess If I ever get a time machine, im going to travel back in time and be a disco lyricist.

Finna walk like an Egyptian to this

Look at that price for vinyl. omg... for 36 minutes? I don't think so, fam. It's more than a dollar a minute.

I hear 4 or 5 that could be sampled & the label be happy with your choice.

see you tomorrow fam. if you missed the Zeuhl one, you might want to check that out. if you are new or not notified- ask to be notified.

i move fast - the fam will tell you. Lots of s*** coming soon 😎

More heat from the God

big thx !!

really appreciate ur music threads

been bumping THE PLAYERS because of your thread

I have a lot of Japanese stuff to put together and that's almost done for one in particular who I think is pretty special.

I've uploaded a bit of Japanese lp's to tell you the truth. Probably like 30 from mines of soulseek.

I don't think I have you on the notice list. You will see your name tomorrow. Today was kinda like the warm up.

Which part/song

im just saying in general. I'm guessing that's the content of the lyrics. Because it's a dance song.

Ah. Not tryna listen to the whole thing tbh I’m not a fan of Egyptian music the lyrics are always too cringey

Abba greatest hits are essential

This harddd

Sample song is a banger @op I'll check out the rest later
