Crammed Discs

Paris-based Acid Arab is a French electronic outfit founded in 2012 by Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho. Their sound signature is a distinctive mix of deep club-based beats infused with Arabic instruments and vocals.

With their unique blend of musical influences, Acid Arab has created a captivating style that sets them apart from other artists in the electronic music scene. Drawing inspiration from both Western and Middle Eastern cultures, they seamlessly combine traditional sounds with modern beats to create an immersive sonic experience.

Acid Arab's music has garnered attention worldwide, earning them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim. They have collaborated with various artists and performers such as *Agar Agar*, *Flavien Berger*, *Leonie Pernet*, and many more. Their live performances are known for their energetic atmosphere, transporting audiences to another world through their mesmerizing melodies.

Crammed Discs is an independent record label established by Marc Hollander in 1981. With a rich history spanning over four decades, the label has consistently pushed boundaries and championed innovative music from around the world.

Known for its diverse roster of *artists* and *performers*, Crammed Discs has become synonymous with groundbreaking releases that defy genre categorization. From experimental pop to avant-garde jazz, electronic music to world fusion, the label's catalogue is a testament to its commitment to artistic excellence.

As one of the most respected independent labels in the industry, Crammed Discs continues to discover and nurture talent, providing a platform for emerging artists as well as established musicians. With an unwavering dedication to quality and authenticity, their releases are meticulously curated and beautifully packaged.

With their intoxicating blend of sharp Western electronic music and Eastern sounds and vocals, the Parisian crew Acid Arab have been setting fire to clubs and festivals worldwide, playing over 260 shows on four continents since the release of their debut album Musique de France at the end of 2016.

Jdid (meaning new in Arabic) sees the band taking a giant step forward on their path, and deepening the dialogue between the northern, southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean (the northern shore extending, in this particular case, to the banks of the rivers Seine, Thames, Spree and Hudson)! Throughout the album, club-oriented beats are taken for a ride, from suburban warehouses to smoky basements of Oran and Istanbul, from wide expanses of desert dunes to landscapes of concrete and metal, and are regenerated by the fresh breezes and the inspiring musicians encountered along the way. ’Jdid’ features contributions by Algerian vocalists Radia Menel, Sofiane Saidi, Amel Wahby and Cheikha Hadjla, by Turkish artist Cem Yildiz and Syrian keyboardist Rizan Said, as well as tracks written in collaboration with Tunisian/ Belgian producer Ammar 808 and with Les Filles d’Illighadad from Niger.
