Conceived as a passport to adventure, he produced, selected, mixed, and realised this latest album. Half compilation-half album, Labesse – meaning “you’re alright ?” – builds a bridge between electronic and oriental music. It is an experiment of gathering hot rising oriental artists, a Euro-Mediterranean musical postcard, which includes authentic and first-time meetings specially recorded and remixed for this event : U-Cef & Amina, Mei Tei Shô & Ganoub, Dj ClicK & Black Sifichi, Mazaher & Pasco, Gnawa Njoum Exp, Magic Malik, Hightone (Dj ClicK rmx), Smadj... On this trip from Istanbul to Marrakech, while passing through Paris, Cairo, and London, Dj ClicK imposed some challenges on himself (the reprogramming the classical Egyptian rhythm Malful). All his compositions are always inspired by traditional instruments : Nay (oblique oriental flute, maybe the first instrument of all mankind), oriental flutes, Oud, Guimbri (dromedary skin double bass like instrument) or percussions : Darbuka, Karkabas, Bendir... He uses all their heart and soul to heat his programming machines. The mix between club and traditional rises into a new genre… This album desires to cross cultures and is dedicated to the dignity of women, to outline a message of hope for peace in the Middle East, to end the fanaticisms, and to bring people together of different origins and cultures thanks to music.]]>
