Event Description:
Arabic Sound Hackers: Did you say Palestine?
Yes, we did. Forget about world music, forget about oriental exotic lounge mixes. Expect a night of raw no-nonsense tunes from the Middle-East and
beyond. The menu: experimental field recordings, middle-eastern breakbeats, recycled sound, audio collages and exquisite audio piracy by an
underground international sound hacking brigade. Checkpoint 303 (Palestine/Tunisia/France) and special guest DJ Mark Gergis (Sublime Frequencies /
Porest) invite you to tune in to hacked airwaves and chopped sound bites: A ride that will take you from Palestinian underground grooves to Syrian
Glamour Dabke, rare sounds from the depths of south-east Asia and everything in between. From Ramallah to Aleppo, Tunis to Beirut, Bagdad to Cairo…A
sonic journey of abstract beats and activism for peace, justice, freedom and the right of all populations to self-determination.
