Dar Disku

Dar Disku – “Dar Disku” (Soundway, SNDWLP181). The Bahraini DJ duo’s debut full‑length lands like a postcard from the pan‑Arab dancefloor: a crate‑dug collage of funked‑up shaabi, glossy synth‑pop, cosmic disco and hand‑drummed percussion, edited and reimagined with club heft. It’s celebratory and cinematic—radio hooks melt into new wave guitar, microtonal riffs snake around Italo‑esque basslines—yet sequenced with the patience of long‑form selectors. On vinyl, Soundway’s mastering lets the breaks breathe and the darbuka sparkle. For fans of Habibi Funk, Cosmic Balearic and border‑blurring disco, this album bottles the heat and heart of late‑night Middle Eastern parties while tipping a cap to global crate‑culture. A love letter to groove, community and the joy of discovery.
