Deep, soulful, rootsy flavas across house, hip hop, boogie, soul and broken beat from the Secretsundaze founder who is now doing his own thing.
Tsapiky and salegy are two "endemic" Malagasy genres from opposite ends of the big island, (southwest and north, respectively) rarely heard elsewhere except in diaspora spaces. Tempos race between 150 and 180 bpm, with the dexterous guitars of tsapiky offset by the pumping accordions and synths of salegy. Inspired by a research trip in March '24, this mix pulls from a DVDs and CDs purchased at Super Music Analakely in the capital city, Antananarivo, crunchy mp3s from the market Sanfil in Toliara and the latest social media/youtube hits.

DANIAILYAS is the collaborative, cross-continental project from Barcelona-based composer Dania Shihab (Paralaxe Editions), and Portland-based, Ilyas Ahmed (Grails member and collaborator with Liz Harris, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, and Golden Retriever).
Having both previously issued solo works through Geographic North, a remote one-off collaboration soon manifested into an on-going aural dialogue, yielding the duo’s debut ‘Enough For Me To Remain.’ The album stands as a hallucinatory masterclass, charting into the theater of the uncanny—Dania's transcendent vocal melodies and cathartic synths exquisitely woven between Ilyas' mercurial guitar in some vaporous dance of beauty. A love letter scribed in blood. A bloodletting drenched in hope.
