Arabstazy, an artist collective founded in Tunis, celebrates the release of „Under Frustration“, a compilation which showcases their perspective on contemporary electronic music in the Arab world, with us at the Torstraßenfestival party. Dance towards infinity to a new wave of North African and Middle Eastern futurist sounds!
As Arabstazy state, the compilation „…stands for the diversity of this scene, and deconstructs the occidental perceptions that sees the Arab World as a culturally united and homogeneous entity. It is a manifesto for the burgeoning wave of post-revolution futurism.“
„Under Frustration“ proposes an independent Arabic underground music scene that does not identify by a common aesthetic, genre, or musical style, but that rather searches for belonging and community in a joint struggle, in the frame of political, social and religious dictatorships, in a creative process that is born under frustration.
