DAR DISKU

The debut album from Bahraini-born, British-based musical duo Dar Disku is a celebration of their Arabic heritage and multicultural influences that melds golden age West Asian and North African sounds with a contemporary dance floor focus. Recorded between the UK, Algeria, Turkey and Tunisia, the album seamlessly crosses from disco to Raï, piano house to Turkish psychedelia, ambient to bollywood and features guest artists from Algeria, Turkey and Bahrain as well as legendary Indian singer Asha Puthli.

The album distills the energy of the duo’s renowned DJ sets and breadth of their influences into a fresh and exciting album that reflects and celebrates the ever increasing cultural exchanges found in clubs and on dancefloors the world over.

“There’s a few labels embracing their Arab identities, a corner of music more frequently represented by outsiders.” 

“Dar Disku evoke the mood of car park raves in Bahrain and forgotten Algerian discos of the 80s”
