The Maghreban – Amok Time / The Empath 12″
The Maghreban returns after the success of the Afric 12″ to take a little trip through space with two Star Trek inspired cuts.
Amok Time is an ode to the brutal Vulcan mating ritual and is punctuated by a large laser and heavy 90s progressive House sonics. The Empath is more mournful and melodic than previous excursions, perhaps even world weary.

Dark Free Download from Doctor Zygote
Doctor Zygote takes a trip through some eastern sounding jazz, via some techno and then back again with this release on Zoot. In a respectful nod to the late 90s music of Photek he messes about with some atmospheric and dissonant sounds to create quite an unsettling mood, in 5/4 time.
Zoot would like to thank Lefto and Gilles Peterson for their support.

Maghreban goes to Africa on second 12″
Up for preorder now at the zoot shop The Maghreban returns with his second 12″. Here’s the blurb:
The Maghreban takes a sojourn through 70s Africa, ending up confused in a 1990s Home Counties rave on this sophomore release. Tribal psychedelia abounds, colonial Afro Rock space echoes ensue, giving way to a quirky stomper.
On the flip, The Maghreban pares down ‘Casio’ from his first 12″ into some basic constituents and builds it into a slightly different animal, again ending up somewhere in the woodlands of Kent on a summer Saturday night 23 years ago, somewhat crestfallen.

New House 12″ from The Maghreban on Zoot
This is out now on a nice 12″ at all decent retailers and at the Zoot Shop, click the link above.
The Maghreban sits hunched over arcane hardware amid piles of records, his cranium haunted with the echoes of Satin Storm and 10 kilowatt suburban microdot nightmares. Ears not troubled by current fads, The Maghreban’s style has developed in neurotic isolation.
Menacing yet accessible, informed by early 90s hardcore, film soundtracks and XTC records, these 2 tracks are but an opening salvo in a slew of planned 2014 releases. Stay tuned.
