about

For our next release, Thawra records founder Etyen unveils his new EP 'Yasmine' deeply embedded in, and exploring his native musical roots.

Yasmine offers 3 original tracks and a remix by German-Iranian Electronica producer Namito (Sol Selectas, Bedrock).

Eibada, Yasmine and Ibada seamlessly fuse syncopated rhythms, oriental melodies and driving synth bass-lines & Electronica elements, with a warm and cinematic quality. From a story-telling standpoint, each track forms a chapter in a 3-part critique on identity, and the clash of cultures that parallels the duality within the Lebanese artist, born from one culture and yet adopting another. Eibada, meaning 'worship', tackles the ideas of regressive patriarchal notions embedded in Lebanese society, idolising false gods and holding their opinions as gospel, serving malice in the name of holy worship. On the other hand, Yasmine, the emblematic flower, highlights and reflects on the beauty and intellect found within this conflicted society, while finally, Ibada, meaning 'extinction', devolves back into pessimistic outlooks on the path we're leading and where we are headed.

The EP, as such, serves as a process of self-discovery, a gateway into analysing and rediscovering one's roots, unravelling its layers and intricacies, and finding the place within the balance of virtue and vice.
