    KICE explores Arabic House across two tracks on “Sayf Anthem” EP

    DJ and producer KICE has released Sayf Anthem, a two-track EP that combines Tech House with Arabic instrumentation and vocals.

    Chicago-bred with Jordanian roots, KICE draws from both backgrounds in his approach to electronic music. The EP opens with “Yalla Dance”, which pairs female vocals with a four-on-the-floor rhythm, driving bass and Arabic percussion including doumbek and riq. String accents are also incorporated into the production.

    “Inta Habibi” takes a darker approach, built around male vocals, a low-slung bassline and minimalist electronic production. Middle Eastern minor scales and synth leads add to its heavier atmosphere.

    Released on July 30 through Treble Recordings, Sayf Anthem explores two different approaches to contemporary Arabic-influenced electronic music.

    The Sayf Anthem EP is available on streaming platforms.
