CREP 019LP

With the haunting collages of Ghost Tapes, El Mahdy Jr goes deeper into his own personal sonic space. "Ghost Tapes is a composition of everyday fragments based on found tapes, field recordings, beats, and radio frequencies. A ruff attempt of interpreting the cultural ghost that surrounds the field and makes the difference between place and space" --El Mahdy Jr, 2015. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering. Pressed at Optimal.

BOOMARM 006LP

"Born in Sidi Bel Abbess, Algeria, El Mahdy Jr. is an audio collagist who masterfully splices devotional music into a blunted blend of half time bass and mystic sound. Familiar in its bass weight and its global melt, but completely new and enveloping in its fragility and poise. Boomarm Nation is thrilled to present this re-press of his debut release in a limited run of 500 black vinyl records housed in clear heavyweight poly vinyl sleeve. Each copy ships with a full color sticker designed by Polygon Press, and a download code. Originally released in the summer of 2013, El Mahdy Jr.'s debut LP The Spirit of Fucked Up Places was met with great acclaim; features in The Wire, Fact Magazine, and others soon followed. The first pressing sold out within weeks, and since then El Mahdy Jr. has seen a string of releases for Boomarm Nation, Mala's Deep Medi, Zam Zam Sounds, and Danse Noir."

BOOMARM 007EP
|
"This is a collaborative release featuring El Mahdy Jr, Gulls, XJ, and Alter Echo. Beginning with a shared love of old school Algerian Raï music and audio deconstruction, we sampled several Raï classics from cassettes and Youtube rips, resulting in three songs and a dub. Heavy weight system pressure, poly-riddim and crunchy arid melodics dubbed up inna Boomarm style. Released in a limited run of 300 10" vinyls in hand stamped and printed sleeves."
