Khalab is an enigmatic globetrotting Italian DJ and producer that's been exploring the experimental edges of Afro-Futurist beats ever since debuting in 2015 with a pair of EPs, a solo effort titled Eunoto for Clap! Clap!'s Black Acre Records and a captivating collaboration titled Kumu / Tata with Malian musician Baba Sissoko released by Wonderwheel Recordings. His heady and kinetic fusion of tribal drums, deep bass work, and dense electronic textures are once again on full display on his official solo debut album Black Noise 2084, released in late July via On The Corner Records. His exclusive guest DJ mix is a thrilling sonic ride through various flavors of cutting-edge global bass rhythms, showcasing a heavy dose of recent standouts tracks, a few all-time favorites, and closing things out with his own track "Dense" featuring Shabaka Hutchings & Tommaso Cappellato, a brilliant highlight from his new album.
