Made in the Emirates - Volume 2 (LP 2x12")

Description

After the success of Made in the Emirates – Volume 1, which documented a wide spectrum of the UAE’s independent music scene, the series returns with its second installment. Made in the Emirates – Volume 2 shifts focus to the country’s electronic underground, bringing together 8 original tracks spanning deep house, breaks, techno, and experimental club sounds. A snapshot of a thriving scene, built by artists shaping it on their own terms. The compilation brings together a cross-section of artists shaping the UAE’s electronic underground today: - Tarik Omar opens the record with Sample Sunday, reflecting his deep-rooted approach to rhythm and sampling. - Adam Rahman delivers K Lock, a tightly wound club tool driven by percussive precision. - Sons Of Rhythm revisit their catalogue through a Rhythm Plate Italo 90 Remix, bridging classic house influences with a forward-facing Italo touch. - Megadon Betamax - a co-founder of boutique imprint Voyeurhythm Records brings Maha Monastery, an atmospheric funk-infused cut that leans into experimental yet groovy electronics. - Curator Shadi Megallaa contributes Word Jazz, reflecting his long-standing role in shaping Dubai’s underground through Ark to Ashes and The Flip Side. - OHFFF a project born from spontaneity, sonic curiosity and sequencer experiments. Dwelling is a club-friendly. - Tacit presents The Lakritze Suite, a multi-layered, hard beat composition that moves between abstraction and industrial structure. - Closing the record, Nasrawi’s Intention Dub channels deep, and dubby, grounding the compilation in a reflective, low-end driven finale. - Curated and compiled by Shadi Megallaa (Ark to Ashes / The Flip Side, Dubai).
