Is there one song that you were so pent up to release.ĬHANG.
#Dj fresh download album full#
But after we had created these specific songs, we'd, like Tamer said, put them on the shelf, waiting for that day when we have enough for a full album and they would, you know, support each other, the songs, as an album.ĬHANG: I would love for you to tell me the story of one particular song on this album where you were writing it, you were making it, and then you were like, oh, but we can't use it right now.ĬHANG: We have to put it on that shelf and wait for the album. And those are the expressions that end up on the album. But those expressions can often be very powerful or still very important to you. So not every day when you express yourself as a musician does that expression end up being something that works for a party or a dance floor or that we can use in our DJ set. IVETA MUKUCHYAN)")ĬHANG: Well, as you were suggesting a little earlier, I mean, the music on this album - it's pretty - it's different from your other music in the sense that it's not solely dance music, right? Like, why did you want to go for a different sound on this project in particular?ĪBOUSABE: As musicians, we express ourselves, you know, in many different ways. Like it's the moment to put out an album, we're going to do it.ĬHANG: Oh, cool, like saving money under a mattress or something - just piling it up a little. And we decided that, you know, whenever we're ready or we feel. And whenever we wrote a song or made a song that we felt, this could be for the album, we actually just kept it on the side. To be honest with you, we always thought that if we're going to make an album, it's not going to be, like, an album that we want to just go under the radar, never detected and just - OK, we did an album, you know? We wanted to really do something significant. MALKI: Yeah, 2013, 2012 - something like that.ĬHANG: And can I just ask, like, why do you think you both waited - what? - almost a dozen years to make an album together? IVETA MUKUCHYAN)")ĬHANG: It's your first album since you've been performing together since - what? - 2012, right? (SOUNDBITE OF BEDOUIN SONG, "CRAZY (FEAT. Well, can we talk about the most recent music? Like, I want to get into this new album, "Temple Of Dreams." But I think what we learned from Middle Eastern music or from these ancient instruments with quarter tones and so on and so forth - there's a lot that still carries through technically, but maybe stylistically, you wouldn't really, you know, attribute it to being Middle Eastern.ĬHANG: Interesting. You can clearly hear the evolution in our music to the point where you might not hear any Middle Eastern influence so much in the more recent songs. And that's, I think, what happened with us - is that after a certain point musically, we started realizing how we can incorporate everything we listened to growing up and bring it in our own way to the dance floor.ĬHANG: And that evolution, that changing relationship or reconnection with Middle Eastern music that you experienced as you got some distance from it - is that an evolution that we can hear in your music over the years? You don't feel any interest or connection to it until you step away from it and you start appreciating the differences or certain elements about it or certain aspects of it. So I kind of started appreciating it a little bit later. But for me, for example, I couldn't escape it.
MALKI: Maybe because we grew up around it, it wasn't something that we were very interested in.
And in a way, what we do - traveling, grouping around a fire and playing hypnotic, repetitive music - so we felt that kind of was a perfect name that could describe what we're about to do.īEDOUIN: (Singing) The land of broken dreams.ĬHANG: He says their current sound is very much shaped by Middle Eastern music. And the desert or the land between the two countries is where the Bedouins actually live. Tamer says the group's name is a nod to the nomadic tribes of the Middle East. And now they are out with their first album, called "Temple Of Dreams."ĬHANG: That is the song "Tijuana" off their latest project. For more than a decade, the two of them have been making music together. Rami Abousabe and Tamer Malki are the musical duo Bedouin.
