PREMIERE : ARSHQR (Tooflie Edits)

Tooflie’s shadowy crate-diggers return for their sixth expedition, this time unearthing melodic relics from the sands and stone of the SWANA region. The A-side opens with a charismatic locally-well-known Borıs Timur from Azerbaijan, reshaping his half-crime chanson half folk music into a slinky, percussion-driven anthem that sways between mysticism and dancefloor intent. A2 dives deeper into the vaults: a cryptic cut built on early hip-hop and electro intonations, stitched together from dusty Middle Eastern groove samples, looping like a mirage between past and future. Turn to the B-side and the spotlight falls on a modern folk icon turned global cult hero Omar Souleyman. The first interpretation is a peak-time techno weapon, packed with frenetic energy and built for ecstatic release. The closing track shifts gears in a slower, contemplative breakbeat journey that delves more deeply into the dabke tradition, stretching its spiraling melodies and communal pulse into a pre-dawn dreamstate. Once again, Tooflie fuses archival echoes and electronic invention into a spellbinding vinyl-only dispatch for dancers and diggers alike.
