'A duo who will stop at nothing in search of the perfect beat, Dar Disku are seeking out hidden paths into the forgotten discos of the Middle East...A new two-track release is intended to kick out the jams are your local Hafla - the Middle Eastern word for a party or rave - and it's a stellar one-two of disco abandon"

Riding the crest of the current Middle East creative boom, in just eight months Dar Disku has gone from two guys digging for old tapes in a souk to filling underground clubs in global music capitals. Next up are a few tour dates followed by an appearance at the Lovebox Festival in London, sharing a bill with the likes of 2Chainz and Action Bronson, which, if you ask them is “pretty crazy”, or is it?
