Muslimgauze & The Rootsman - Return to the City of Djinn [2LP]

Format: 2 x LP
Catalogue No.: VIA06
Release Date: Aug 2023
Genre: Electronic/World Music

'The second part of the famous collaboration between two UK based electronic pioneers: John Bolloten aka The Rootsman and Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze.

For this album the original The Rootsman material from his albums “Into The Light” and “52 Days to Timbuktu” was remixed and deconstructed by Muslimgauze. As always with Bryn Jones, all material is inspired by Arab culture.

We hear distorted dub rhythms, sawn-off loops, traditional music, male and female voices and then distorted rhythms again. Closing your eyes, you can find yourself in the middle of an eastern city, walk along its noisy streets, admire the ancient architecture. This noise can tell amazing stories!'

First vinyl edition. Originally in 1999 on CD by Third Eye Music.

Produced by The Rootsman.
Remixed by Mulimgauze.
Artwork by Oleg Galay.
