Kutiman joins Batov Records' Middle Eastern Grooves series with explosive double-sider. The release features two essential, souk-fueled, psych-funk heaters: "Haraka" and "Khamsin." A prolific musical force, Kutiman delivers the goods on "Haraka" ("movement"), layering neck-snapping rock drums, irresistible psychedelic basslines, and haunting organ riffs, with microtonal-bending synths and tablainspired percussion. On the B-side, "Khamsin" ("heatwave") continues the trip with another heavy dose of Middle Eastern psych and funk, culminating in a blistering guitar solo in his signature Middle Eastern style by longtime collaborator Uri Brauner Kinrot (Ouzo Bazooka, Boom Pam), who also contributes beguilingly languid bass guitar riffs.
