Description: | Building off of the themes of identity, storytelling and experimentation on her critically
acclaimed debut album, Khonnar (2018), Deena Abdelwahedâ??s upcoming album Jbal Rrsas is
the next chapter of a reimagining of what club music could be. The album spans seven tracks
of bass, techno, and experimental music, with Abdelwahed consulting with masterminds like
Tunisian composer and multi-instrumentalist Khalil Hentati, aka Khalil Epi, and Iraqi-British
multi-instrumentalist, composer, and researcher Khyam Allami, as well as Egyptian
mastering engineer Heba Kadry, to help realise her vision.
Jbal Rrsas starts with the seductively apocalyptic opener, The Key to the Exit, a
deconstructed shaâ??bi production. With tracks like Six as Oil and the delightfully intense
Violence for Free, Abdelwahed leads users to a desert rave, where industrial rhythms are left
unbridled. Abdelwahedâ??s vocals on Complain and Pre-Island are powerful and exposed,
confidently placed on dizzying avant-garde productions. The Wire previously said â??[Khonnar
is] an assured debut that sits on the edge of a whole swathe of possibilities, not only sonic
but also geographical, social and political.â? With Jbal Rrsas finds Abdelwahed deftly
navigating through those possibilities, frequently pushing against genres, labels, and social
identifiers, while elevating club music to otherworldly heights.
Jbal Rrsas by Deena Abdelwahed, released 15 March 2024.
