Simo Cell & Miniawy: Revolution Prophecy in Sound
25 Mar
Summary
- The album explores themes of global revolution and internet's lost soul.
- It features burnt 808s and unpredictable, labyrinthine song structures.
- Miniawy's vocals shift from Auto-Tuned melodies to pitched-down barks.
French producer Simo Cell and Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy have released their collaborative album, 'Dying Is the Internet.' This project merges Simo Cell's distinctively distorted beats and heavy bass with Miniawy's unique vocal stylings, inspired by Arabic poetry and microtonal scales.
The album is described as a "playful prophecy about the triggers of a new global revolution." Simo Cell's title critique reflects "how the internet lost its soul." The music features charred 808s, lurching syncopations, and Miniawy's unpredictable vocal shifts, ranging from Auto-Tuned melodies to deep barks.
Tracks like "I See the Stadium" and "Pixelated" showcase the duo's experimental approach. These songs incorporate elements from drone and experimental theater to trap and UK funky, with unpredictable structures that keep listeners engaged. The collaboration emphasizes an idiosyncratic fusion of their talents, resulting in potent and unorthodox tracks.
