5amaseen [xæmæsiːn]:
Egy. Arabic, dusty, heavy winds which arrive in spring.
Inspired by bass and club music, 5amaseen forges his sound between pounding kicks, quick percussive syncopated patterns, distorted breaks, with a touch of noise/glitch.
In addition to some heavily distorted guitar riffs and odd time signatures, he is inspired by the sonic identity of his birthplace, especially from mahraganat to folkloric music of Upper Egypt and beyond.
