Freak Hodja vinyl

We know little of Ajvar Soundystem, but we always like an artist who comes through uninvited and accompanied by a new label. That's the way things should be. What we can say about Take Away 001 is that "Freak Hodja" is a glorious disco number with the perect balance of Arabic vocalism - a blend that is unfortunately not heard too often around these parts. "Roki" is faster, nuttier, and focusses more on the percussion elements, a zesty, freaky blend of drums and funked-out samples, while "Syfilis" is an absolute crowd-pleaser - a tune that you'll be singing along to without knowing a word or its meaning (unless you speak Arabic, of course).
