Bedouin, aka Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe, are to release their long awaited and adventurous debut album 'Temple of Dreams' on their own label Human By Default this Spring 2023. Over the course of the pandemic, Malki and Abousabe spent a great amount of time finalizing songs created in the past 7 years, composing, song writing, singing, and working on numerous projects including collaborations and new originals. 'Temple of Dreams' was shaped from these sessions and captures the enigmatic sound of the versatile, forward-thinking group.Malki explains that the album looks to 'experiment and push the boundaries.' It differs from their previous work, as the album is intended to be a deep listening experience for the fans, rather than a slew of club cuts. The multi-talented artists sought to create a timeless sound in Temple of Dreams. Malki outlines that the album lies between 'what we play on stages around the world and what we're capable of writing and producing as musicians and producers. We wanted to exceed expectations and present something that you might think or feel you've heard before, yet it's something completely new and not what might be expected from us.'It starts with the enchanting sounds and candle lit grooves of 'Rise And Fall', then journeys far and wide through the Eastern string sounds of 'Coldman' featuring Nathan Daisy, darkly alluring vocals and mystic rhythms of 'Voices In My Head', and the hypnotic melodic leads of 'Crazy' feat. Iveta Mukuchyan. Elsewhere the richness of Bedouin's sound makes for spellbinding listening on tracks like 'Hokema' featuring Delaram and 'Flore Chico' featuring Chico Castillo with it's alluring Spanish vocals. 'Love And Hate' is a more dynamic and punchier house cut, while 'Fill The Space' is an intriguing mix of melodic magic, authentic instrumentation, and smooth rolling grooves. The musicians, singer-songwriters, and producers in Bedouin have spent the better part of a decade fine-tuning their sound, which draws as much from their Middle Eastern heritage as it does their world travels as DJs playing iconic venues across the globe. They have pioneered a distinctive and timeless sound on some of the world's most notable labels, such as Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical, All Day I Dream, and recently their own imprint-Human By Default. Select major label releases include remixes for Black Coffee on Ultra and Virgil Abloh on Sony/Universal. As well as calling Burning Man home, they have their own iconic Ibiza party, Saga, at Pacha each week of summer, and play major events such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Art Basel, and venues like Ushuaia, Wynn Las Vegas, as well as a ground-breaking Cercle set filmed in Petra, Jordan.This much anticipated debut album shows yet another side and the artistic development for this influential pair.Tracklisting:
