The Tropikal Camel is a sonic journey into the urban sound of middle eastern/North African futurism. A original fusion between traditional Arabic music with cutting edge electronic sounds. mixing the past and the future, melting the sounds of Kurdistan and Morocco, Jerusalem and Berlin.
​​
The project's unique musical language is hybriding poly rhythmic percussion's, chopped samples, Arabic melodies & deep sub bass lines.
​
It is a quest for a new identity, one who has been released by colonialist thinking, a ride into free thought and inspiration. Identity that has respect to the past but with heads up to the future, urban but tribal, dramatic but minimal, full of contradictions but keeping the balance, electronic music that has a meaning and a story.
