Guitar player DAVID BECK is familiar with culture jamming, in the Moroccan- German Gnawa Impulse outfit he had been connecting archaic rhythms with rock and electronic structures for years.
He joined up forces with TOMOKI IKEDA from Japan, who creates beats and samples on his laptop building the strong rhythmical backbone for the progressive Nomad sound.
In KARIM SFAXI from Tunisia they found the charming vocalist, whose expressive colourful singing is taking audiences by storm.
Algerian born MILOUD MESSABIH is the passionate percussionist and accordionist who used to play with Rai legends like Bellemou or Tassili.
let..s not forget about our part time live percussionist SALAH KHELIL from Tunesia and our dj and bass player SHAZAM.
Berlin has long been a hallowed center for culture and music. These days, the up-and-coming group Nomad SoundSystem underscores how Berlin is still such a hub—albeit now a brilliantly multiethnic and vibrantly cosmopolitan meeting ground for artists and sounds from all over the world.
Since coming together just four years ago, Nomad SoundSystem has already played alongside such kindred spirits as Rachid Taha, Nitin Sawhney, and Transglobal Underground—all of whom groove to an urbane beat. With members from Germany, Tunisia, Japan, and Algeria, the group injects high-energy dance-floor rhythms with echoes of music from across the globe, from North African raï to the energy of hip-hop.
On their recent, self-titled debut album, Nomad SoundSystem demonstrates their witty worldwide wandering on tunes like “Atarishi,” in which a traditional Japanese koto skitters across a surface of Balkan brass, all fed by a one-drop reggae beat. Deeply Maghrebi polyrhythms ground the melodic soaring of “Zmen Aalech,” while the anthemic “No/w Peace” blends gritty rock styling with North African vocal arabesques. Their music reinforces just how central Berlin is as a global epicenter of DJ culture.
Berlin-based NOMAD SOUNDSYSTEM sits on the cutting edge between electronic dance grooves and passionate arabic live music.
The stylistics the band choses are as versatile as the origins of its members: Rai, Drum & Bass, Rock, oriental-electronics, Dub and Gnawa-Trance merging effortlessly to a highly original urban soundscape that works both - on dancefloors and in your braincinema.
You can get songs on our DEBUT ALBUM, out since May 2007 on Stock & Stein Records in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Please ask your local dealer or get it at our live concerts. Alternatively you can download it from most download services also.
