The newest collaborative release from the French producer @simocellmusic and the Egyptian vocalist and multidisciplinary artist @abdullahminiawyofficial is called 'Dying is The Internet,' a fusion of Middle Eastern music, rap production ideas, and gestures pulled from experimental music and jazz.
It's also, of course, about the internet itself. We sent some questions over to the duo, and they went deep. We went deep. Read the article by clicking the Editorial link.
Yo mes nantais, je joue à Variations/@lelieuunique ce soir pour les 10 ans du festival. Très très honoré et très bien entouré. J espère voir plein de copains, y a même ma maman qui vient.

Beyond thrilled to welcome a new arrival on our UFO imprint: ‘Dying is the internet’ – the new record by Simo Cell (@simocellmusic ) & Abdullah Miniawy (@abdullahminiawyofficial ).
Reuniting for a fiercely inventive reflection on the nature of club culture and digital fatigue, the French producer and Egyptian vocalist/poet/composer set out to make an album that takes its time to truly reveal itself. Out on 12 March, the resulting LP offers original, heavyweight dance music, slinging hooks left, right and centre.
Head to our website (link in bio) to pre-order the digital and/or vinyl edition. ‘Living Emojis’, the first single, is out now.

Wow whaaaat ? This feels greeaaaat to be part of this, alongside so many heroes. Bravo @abdullahminiawyofficial BFDM
great recognition but let s also not forget that any kind of list is of course biased, it has to follow a journalistic narrative and can also be really politic.

Globoscope
Maxime Houot & Simo Cell
For the 10th anniversary of Globoscope, Maxime invited a producer very dear to him: @simocellmusic
"A few weeks ago, I wrote a 15-minute piece for Maxime’s light installation at the Castle of Nantes, as part of the Scopitone Festival.
It was a special one for me, my first time writing for light.
Also because my grandparents came: they used to take me to the castle when I was a kid, and this time I got to bring them there.
Huge thanks to Collectif Coin for the trust and collaboration.
Sharing sound and light in a space like that (((((outside the club))))) felt quietly huge."
