Khonnar (Limited Deluxe Edition with Poster) [VINYL]

Description

LIMITED DELUXE EDITION W/ CLEAR VINYL - INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE POSTER Starting out as a DJ in Tunis, Deena has since toured all around the world from Concrete to Boiler Room, CTM, Saüle (Berghain), Rewire Festival... She became the archetype of a globalized generation of Internet natives for whom borders are an outdated concept. After a highly club oriented first EP, "Klabb", the composer shifted toward a far more introspective atmosphere, far from the festive ambiance of her debut. With "Khonnar", an untranslatable Tunisian word that evokes the dark, shameful and disturbing side of things, Deena sticks our noses in what we naively believed was under rug swept. Deena is the figurehead of a new world order of musical creation and "Khonnar" is the manifesto of a generation that does not seek to please or to conform, which pushes our backs to the wall, and is abruptly taking back control of its identity, with all the inherent losses and chaos. "Deena Abdelwahed makes club anthems for an alternate timeline" - THE FADER "One of Tunisia most interesting producers in underground electronic music" - The Guardian "A varied and forward-thinking sound, one that aims to deliver a message with its sonics - XLR8R
