Deena Abdelwahed deserves a thread of her own (North African style techno)

Good call on the lyrics, I guess I assumed she brought in or sampled a North African singer, but it's cool if it's her.

This is #braggin2020 but I wasn't familiar with her work until she bought my album on bandcamp, then I went back and checked it out. Still hoping something shows up in a mix someday. :)

Oh, I hadn't realised they'd actually made a video for "Tawa":

Though what it is about, I have little idea...

I think what I like the most about her tracks is the drum programming, it's so out there and evocative and dense.

Have you heard DJ Haram, TSVI/Anunaku, DJ Plead, etc?

No, who are they?

Producers who I think you would enjoy!

Ah, okay. Do they sound similar to Abdelwahed?

I mean, I think so, that's why I mentioned them? It depends what you're looking for, but they all have great syncopated percussion-based tracks that rely heavily on Arabic/Middle Eastern/north African samples. Can recommend lots of other stuff in a similar vein but those came to mind immediately.
