Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho (+ Sex Schön in the studio), both djs for many years and residents of infamous Parisian club Chez Moune, have fallen in love with this music after a trip to Tunisia with Dj Gilb’R. They’ve managed to convince a lot of producers to come along with them on this fantastic voyage and create a track for their ‘Acid Arab Collections‘, which are naturally released by Gilb’R’s label, Versatile Records.

They’ve collaborated with many musicians from both culture to get to this result : I:Cube, Omar Souleyman, Crackboy (from Tigersushi and I’m A Cliché), Adnan Mohamed, the keyboardist / guitarist Turzi (Record Makers), keyboardist / bassist Judah Warsky (Pan European Recordings) and many more… And of course, Dj Gilb’R is the brain behind the muscles & has mixed and produced these unique sounds to create an epic cosmic symphony that the team called ‘Cosmique Arabe‘ by Boyz In The Oud.

Acid Arab got early support from Gilles Peterson, Lovefingers, TLR, Skudge, Tim Sweeney and Radio Nova and they already traveled the world to play live or dj set their unique vision of cross culture electronic music.

“We are fascinated by eastern music and its codes, such as complex rhythmic structures (binary and ternary superimposing upon each other), which drive dancers to trance just like acid house does. We’d like to take these codes and use analog techno devices (beatboxes, bassline machines) to create something new : an oriental acid music which combines the coldness of techno and the emotional and dramatic power of the East. Our knowledge of the dancefloor is now digested and we have spent night after night digging records and files to know more about arabic music. We don’t want to be standardbearers of mixing whatever, we just want to be of our days. talking about mixing means there’s a split, a binary vision of an occidental vs oriental world – this is has-been. We don’t paste oriental sounds on occidental beats, we want to embody both cultures without pretending to reinvent oriental music or fooling ourselves by believing we’re inventing eastern dance music. We just want to be part of it, and contribute to this brilliant and enormous masterpiece that this music is, and has been for thousands of years.” Acid Arab aka Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho.
