Darbuka King by Balout Krew & Laxfilet

Multi Culti presents 'Darbuka King' from duo Balout Krew & Laxfilet: a percussive blend of traditional Baladi rhythms with breakbeats (and a hint of acid).

Aladin, a Palestinian artist shaped by the club scenes of Haifa and Ramallah, and Laxfilet, a hip-hop and lo-fi producer from Germany's Black Forest weave their experiences into music that bridges worlds, forging connection and aiming to provide a small measure of solace for listeners caught between cultures. Drawing from the celebratory spirit and tradition of West Bank wedding music, 'Darbuka King' embodies a narrative of renewal, resilience and love.

At Balout Krew's suggestion, all proceeds from the EP collected on bandcamp he will personally deliver to support the girls school in Al-Nazla al Gharbiya, Palestine. The school provides education for young girls near his home village.

Once upon a time a Palestinian met a Bavarian at a party and discovered they share the same taste in music. This taste covers countless genres, instruments and time periods, but is unified by a fascination with Arab rhythms and the mijwiz, an Arab flute.
Our sets balance our musical histories and the one sound we want to hear on the dance floor.
