SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: VARIOUS ARTISTS – FABRIC PRESENTS SAMA’ ABDULHADI

Sama' Abdulhadi

VARIOUS ARTISTS
FABRIC PRESENTS SAMA’ ABDULHADI
FABRIC RECORDS

Sama’ Abdulhadi, a pioneering Palestinian DJ, melds traditional Middle Eastern sounds with electronic beats, crafting mesmerizing sets that traverse cultural boundaries. Abdulhadi’s performances at iconic venues like Berghain and Boiler Room spotlight her genre-defying prowess.

Fabric, the iconic London club, remains a pinnacle of electronic music culture. Renowned for its electric atmosphere and cutting-edge sound system, it’s a haven for enthusiasts. The fabric presents record series epitomizes this legacy, showcasing diverse talents and eclectic mixes.

fabric presents Sama’ Abdulhadi is a delectably selected gold mine of tracks. Genre-torquing, as always, she takes you on a journey most wouldn’t think of taking.

Highlights include the melodic house & techno of the lead-off track “The Drift” (Spectrum) by Swiss DJ and producer Khainz, the psytrans track “Goosebombs” by Psycrain & C.A.T (Bassclef Records) and the Middle East electronica inflected “Laba Staifia” (Ammar 808 Remix) [Crammed Discs] by Acid Arab. 

This mix album is like a good book that you can’t put down. I could listen to it over and over; and I am.
