Listen to Moktar’s thumping new EP

Egyptian-Australian DJ and producer Moktar has released a new five-track EP on Mall Grab’s Steel City Dance Discs label.

Entitled ‘Immigrant’, the EP is an eclectic body of influences from breakbeat, house and techno adorned with Arabic music samples.

A Facebook post by the now Melbourne-based artist about the project reads: “Immigrant is about people leaving their countries in search of a better or different life, highlighting the struggle so many go through to be accepted and how hard people must have to work towards building what they have today. I’ve seen how much my family have been able to build in Australia in the time that they’ve been there, and that’s really inspiring so I wanted to touch on that too. There are also key words in the track that I’ve sampled and weaved in to highlight my own personal experiences.”

Moktar’s latest EP, ‘Immigrant’, is available now. Check it out here.
