Well, thanks for asking, it was giving the first Animal Collective set a miss and heading to the Crazy Horse danceteria for a good hour&#8217;s worth of Sublime Frequencies DJ action. In-between the Iranian disco and Javanese psych: &#8216;Shift Al Mani&#8217; blaring from the decks, dusty, tinny and mad dancable. That&#8217;s\u00a0an\u00a0Omar Souleyman song by the way, just one from his 400-odd album cannon, the Syrian dude having been a little busy over the last 20 years or so. I would seriously like to attend one of the weddings he primarily plays at; on record it sounds like the biggest sandblown headflip ever. This is from the liner notes to &#8216;Highway To Hassake&#8217;, the compilation that first gained Omar attention outside of the Levant:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here, classical Arabic mawal-style vocalization gives way to high-octane Syrian Dabke (the regional folkloric dance and party music), Iraqi Choubi and a host of Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish styles, among others. This amalgamation is truly the sound of Northeastern Syria. The music often has an overdriven sound consisting of phase-shifted Arabic keyboard solos and frantic rhythms. At breakneck speeds, these shrill Syrian electronics play out like forbidden morse-code, but the moods swing from coarse and urgent to dirgy and contemplative in the rugged anthems that comprise Souleyman\u2019s repertoire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which is another way of saying: get there and get down. Especially as the bash also features tropical funk blasters Zun Zun Egui and another of Team Brick&#8217;s many guises, the weirdo ruckus of Fairhorns.
