DEZ ANDRES / VICTOR KISWELL - Casablanca [2LP/7" Vinyl]

Format: 2 x LP + 7"
Catalogue No.: SPLTE004
Release Date: 15 Jan 2025
Genre: Hip Hop/R&B

The mighty Dez Andres has hooked up with Parisian digger Victor Kiswell for a sublime new double album on Spot Lite that finds a perfect sweet spot between both men's sound. It stems from a party that explores Arabic grooves from Northern Africa and the Middle East and pairs that with low slung deep house beats and hip-hop inspired joints. It's woozy and warm, packed with killer melodies and hooky riffs and is right up there with some of Dez's best work. Highlights include the likes of 'Grand Meze In Gemmayze' with its dusty beats and 'Bounce The Casbah' with Middle Eastern guitars that ring out with great soul.
