the white man & the arab return with their fifth release, the exchange ep, further developing the sound that s made their previous four outings so alluring.informed by a range of cues that reflect the pairs influences, you can sense dub, ambient, minimal, a love for eerie melodies and raw deepness permeating from this ep’s start to finish. the a side kicks off with -on the floor- - a nod to the fact that the whole ep was crafted literally on the floor (the studio was in transition ) - signals what awaits the listener for the duration of the ep. moody pads, slowly progressing melodies and their signature syncopated drum patterns. -people say- follows next, instantly shifting up a gear - this is a solid dancefloor shaker with a simple but seriously effective bassline that will be lodged in your brain, a sharp hi-hat & clap combo and a disembodied, haunting vocal that chants along to the beat. flip the record over for the title track - -the exchange- - a reverb-drenched ethereal club cut that gets it s unstoppable sense of motion from the irresistible percussion workout, while the squelchy acid line adds that extra rawness. rounding off the ep -sideways- signals a distinct nod to detroit. no homage in sight though - it s been carefully distilled via their own signature processes resulting in a somewhat emotional, dubbed out track - perfect supplement for when you re starting to land back to earth

the white man & the arabs third outing since 2013s misanthropy ep is finally here. hashashin has clearly been worth the wait. four strictly analog jams that have been fine tuned to deliver musical bliss straight to your dome.

the white man & the arab – blm & soho decide to revisit the partnership that gave us future moves ep. the resulting second ep - misanthropy - while roughly following the same mood of their first release, shows the two producers becoming more attuned to each others strengths and sounding more and more like one well-oiled unit. clocking in at around 20 minute mark, were treated to three cuts of pure deep bliss, each with its own distinct flavour.

the white man & the arab – an uneasy pairing of minds designed to deliver dancefloor bliss via the medium of limited 12s – is ben micklewright aka blm (of fear of flying / underground quality fame) and souhail zaatari aka soho (of phonica / etc fame). together they been secretly labouring away in the studio and this four tracker is their first joint outing.

with its corroded, live recorded sound and relentless machinedrum, le coq is a trip to the shadowy, not to say drunk side of dance music. as an acid statement this track is right on the money without ever submitting to any ground rules of vintage acid. truly envelope-pushing electronic wizardry with a dark edge. stripped down to a bare minimum, the flip side hollywood goblin evokes the linear pulse of early body music, while the lead synthesizer adds a touch of cabaret voltairesque arpeggio magic. universal rejection was established in stockholm, sweden in 2011. the label is the collective effort of a closed circle of friends sharing the vision of a parallel universe trough raw, down to the core electronic dancemusic. every new release is a code. it represents a piece of what universal rejection is, and proves that the label will be in constant flux while at the same time always remaining true to itself.
