Deep TR-808 bass meets pan-Maghreb beats, meless voices and futurist visions. Ammar 808 is Sofyann Ben Youssef, the sonic mastermind behind the Tunisian sensation: Bargou 08. The future is right now. We have driverless cars, robots taking over jobs, and commercial space travel is on the event horizon. Somehow, humanity has slipped into a science fiction life. But you can’t have a future without a past, something Ammar 808 knows very well. On his debut release, Maghreb United, featuring the singers Mehdi Nassouli (Morocco), So ane Saidi (Algeria) and Cheb Hassen Tej (Tunisia), he connects the two to offer a radical, electronic reinvention of ancient North African music.
