V/A - This Is Cairo Not The Screamers - LP

7 intense Egyptian shaabi remixes by Cairo's finest: Zuli, 1127, 3Phaz, ABADIR, Nadah El-Shazly, KZLK & Youssef Abouzeid.

The adrenalised, electrification of Egyptian Shaabi music in recent years has produced absolutely scorching tracks, and Nashazphone’s This is Cairo Not The Screamers can certainly be added to those ranks. Shaabi translates directly as ‘of the people’. Here, it serves as a vehicle for the incendiary and propulsive. Raw power, Cairo-style, distorted variations on a theme.
