Mar 22, 2025
Dubai-based Syria-born DJ and producer Karim Alkhayat teams up with HNGT, one of the most prominent DJs in Brazil, on a joint EP, titled 'Fate/Away From Home', a hypnotic voyage into the heart of techno's darker recesses.
Released on Denmark's Iboga Records, the EP encompasses two tracks, 'Fate' and 'Away from Home', the first of which is a fresh effort on Arabic techno, layering eerie vocal samples of Islamic litanies with brooding synths and cathartic atmospheric melodies.
Meanwhile, 'Away from Home', is a peak-time techno banger, where a pounding kick drum serves as the track's backbone accompanied by industrial-style percussion that weaves in and out in an unrelenting sense of motion and a stripped-back breakdown of reverb-drenched melodies.
