A new album is on the horizon from Paris-based duo Acid Arab.
Like Fakear who I featured on this blog earlier today, they're an act who have expanded the possibilities of electronic music by bringing in textures that would normally fall beyond the scope of a traditional western audience.
It's not just adding some ethnic flavour to beats, what the likes of Acid Arab do is more a reflection of living in a multiethnic society. Their blend of Arabic sounds and electronic beats is an intoxicating one.
Arabic music is a familiar sound in Paris, with many of the population from North Africa and the Middle East. It's only natural that the music takes on qualities of its new environment, and that the environment itself is shaped by the new music that has come into it.
The new album, entitled ٣ (Trois), is scheduled for release at the beginning of next month. If you're in Paris, you can catch them live at the Olympia on February 9.
