WHO IS CELT ISLAM

Abdullah Hamzah aka”Celt Islam” is an English convert to Islam, Sufi and a member of the northern British alternative dub/breaks outfit “Nine Invisibles ” and ” Analogue Fakir ” . Celt-Islam uses a fusion of music from Dub/Electro/Drum andBass and collaborates it with Islamic/world grooves to create a Dub driven dance crossover.

Celt Islam creates music in quite a diverse range of styles and genres. He produces Sufi inspired Global Grooves to create a sometimes Meditative Dub that transfixes everybody who comes across it, to Electro-Dub driven Drum and Bass to satisfy the dance world.

The only analogy that could be drawn to similar artists is that to Mercan Dede but only in terms of concept…Sufism…whereas the sounds, image and distinction of musical styles between the two could not be further apart.

” When it comes to drum and bass Celt Islam is the only Muslim artist worth mentioning. Having consistently released quality material he is never afraid to venture into new areas. Heavily influenced by the sounds of Sufi mysticism and traditional Arabic and Asian music, Celt Islam (the name being derived from his racial and religious background) is in a world of his own. ” { Tawheed is Unity }

COLLABORATORS

Celt Islam is probably best known to date for his work in the Sufi-Dub genre which he is probably alone in trying to create and to help define as a sub-genre.

He does so in collaboration with some respected names such as Inder Goldfinger, tabla player for Stone Roses legend, Ian Brown’s band and Natacha Atlas and Dawoud Kringle who has recorded and performed with the likes of Lauryn Hill.

Celt Islam has also worked with many musicians and artists including Mick Reed { 1919 , Ship of fools and Nine Invisibles } , Bongo Chilli , D Bo General and DanMan { Iration Steppers }.

Celt Islam also has some remixes under his belt for the likes of Karen David and is currently working on remixes in collaboration with DJ UMB from Generation Bass as THE SUFI DUBSTARS.

PREVIOUS RELEASES

Celt Islam has released his track Time/Space on 12″ { Kritical Mass records}and appeared on many compilations from the Buddha Lounge { Shisha Soundsystem }, Sounds from the big town { Chocolate fireguard } , Quest and Demokrazy on Substream Records { Sweden } and the track Dervish on the new Cafe paradiso: Park Lane Presents Luxury Chilled Grooves compilation compiled by Shisha Soundsystem.

Celt Islam has also recently released his anti war dub track ” Gaza” which appears on the VIVA PALESTINA THE ALBUM  compilation which features artists as Drew McConnell from Babyshambles, Lowkey,  to name a few.

LOOP PACKAGE

Celt Islam has just released his producer sound pack on loopmasters.com called Celt Islam Sufi Dub Soundsystem which is a fusion of music from Dub/Electro/Drum and Bass and collaborates it with Islamic/world grooves to create a unique and mighty Dub driven dance crossover sound.

The Celt Islam Sufi Sample Loop package features the vocal talents of Bongo Chilli and Danman both of which are established artists from Jamaica now living in UK. Also, featured on the loop package is live percussion from Inder Goldfinger and Abdal Wahid Mursaleen both experts in Ethnic and oriental musicial instruments and provide some original loops made from Tabla and Dholak plus some rare recordings of Sitar loops by Dawoud Kringle aka The Renegade Sufi and Saz played by Sufi artist Mustafa Daood.

” APPEAR AS YOU ARE , BE AS YOU APPEAR” – RUMI

It’s Generation Bass (as in ‘base’ and not the fish) and it’s Friday Night, it can only mean one thing, DJ Mixfesssssssst!

DJ FLETCHER

This mix might just turn out to be one of my favourite mixes of this year, it’s original, unique, contains good source material and is quite inventive and the flow is cool. Oh, it also includes tracks by Beats Antique, a band I really love and who I have worked with in the past on a couple of my compilation releases as Shisha Sound System.

It’s by a guy called FLETCHER who comes from South Afreaka!!!

I LOVE it and I’m sure you will do too!!!

Unfortunately the only downside is that it’s not downloadable!!!!  Why some DJ’s still insist on not allowing downloads in this day and age is beyond my comprehension but he can be forgiven for that cause the mix ROCKS!!!

VIVI PEDRAGLIO

Anybody who knew me (UMB) before Generation Bass will know I had around 10 commercial compilation releases which are still available worldwide.

3 of those were Tango compilations soaking in the Nu Tango scene and some of the trad stuff too.

One of my most exciting new discoveries during that period of Electro Tango was a beautiful young woman from Argentina called Vivi Pedraglio and I licensed a bunch of her material for the compilations. She has since become a good friend of mine and is simply now known to me as “VIVI BABY”.

Not only does Vivi create Electro Tango masterpieces but she also does a variety of other stuff too under her other alter- ego’s, DIAMANDA (Club) and HIJAS DEL RIGOR (Experimental/Downtemp/Ambient).

Here’s a gorgeous downtempo mix she laid down a couple of years back and please do go to her My Space to check out her Electro Tango stuff cause it’s awesome.

SONORA

Caballo covered this guy earlier in the week and here’s a great new mix from him.

Sonora – Sonido Mundial Mix by SONORAAA

WAER ROCK

Waer Rock always comes up with interesting material for his mixes and this one ain’t no different, made up wholly of unreleased and exclusive material, which as a head start always makes a mix interesting even before you’ve heard it.

Beats and Bass: NYght Out by Waer Rock

CELT ISLAM

Here’s a mix that Celt Islam did for the BBC a little while back showcasing mostly his own dark and unique SUFI DUB tunes and some dark drum and bass junglism too.

It’s a mind-bender!!!

WORLD ODDYSSEY MIX by CELT ISLAM by Celt Islam

TOMMI BENDERS

Is Tommi a Bender? who cares but he does brilliant Balkan Nights in Amsterdam.

Here’s his latest Balkan mix soaking in the real atmosphere on one of his nights and staying true to the more trad and gypsy punk style stuff as opposed to bastardized watered down club stuff, which I usually do..lol

On request a new mixtape with just “BALKAN”-music…it ended up in a sorta “greatest hits/best of..”, so it gives an impression of the balkanparty scene in the Netherlands..

SHANTEL – bucovina dub rmx
VV – musika dika
MALA VITA – el cerbrero

DJ GREENFLY

DJ Greenfly has done the right thing and moved on to Dubstep and Half-Step.

So here’s a really listenable Dubstep mix with shades of Half-Step thrown in, the latter created by our very own Ghosryda and so of course as he’s the only guy currently doing Half-Step, those are his tracks in the mix.

Tracklisting:

ronit rasta-dvash ori schochat alarm
spoon-the ghost of you lingers (gavin holland bootleg)
FLECK-MERDA
kode 9-skeng
parker-wher’s my monkey
ghosryda-only truth
ghosryda vs ben venom-flesh eater halstep
pirate sound system-my dimension
kode 9- 2 far gone

Just dropped this mix today after CELT ISLAM sent me a bunch of new unreleased tracks last night and requested that I drop a mix with them.

So I did a few hours ago

The material includes the first ever worldwide streaming of a remix by the SUFI DUBSTARS, me and Celt.  It might be the first ever QAWWALI DUBSTEP track to grace this planet.  This remix is coming out next month on the Earthsync label.

Don’t forget Celt’s album DERVISH is out on release right now and can be picked up from the Urban Sedated Records website alongside the usual online and physical outlets.

As the mix contains exclusive unreleased material, I’m afraid it’s STREAM only! 

And if you don’t know who RUMI is, check him out!

My brother CELT ISLAM finally releases his new album “DERVISH” on Friday October 16 on the Urban Sedated record label.

You can find out more info at the Drum Music website.

Here’s what’s being said about the album:

“Believe me! if you love Dubstep but with an emotional heart beating at its very core your gonna need this album!” Bobby Friction [ BBC Asian Network]

“Celt Islam using his personal dialect within the universal language of music, manages to soothe the soul
and uplift the spirit with this truly magnificent album of a Sufi Dub persuasion” Pathaan [BBC Asian Network/Globetronica]

There’s a stellar line up of peeps playing on the night, including ME

Also there’s a good possibility of a bona fide and highly influential ROCKSTAR dropping in, if he’s about town, as he’s a bit of a fan of Celt’s music [I don't have to sell my soul, He's already in me, I don't need to sell my soul, He's already in me.....]!!!!!

“APPEAR AS YOU ARE , BE AS YOU APPEAR” – {RUMI }

‘SUFI DUB’ is a new sub-genre being created by an exceptional and truly unique artist called CELT ISLAM who is an English convert to Islam and a Sufi.  He is also a member of the Northern British alternative dub/breaks outfit “Nine Invisibles” and “Analogue Fakir”. On top of all that he shares REMIX duties in a GHETTO-DUB CREW, “THE SUFI DUBSTARS”.

Celt Islam creates music in quite a diverse range of styles and genres. He produces Sufi inspired Ghetto-Dub grooves to create a sometimes meditative dub that transfixes everybody who comes across it, to Electro-Dub driven Drum and Bass to satisfy the dance world.

He often collaborates with some really respected names such as Inder Goldfinger, tabla player for Stone Roses legend, Ian Brown’s band and Natacha Atlas.  His frequent Sitar player is Dawoud Kringle who has recorded and performed with the likes of Lauryn Hill and on Drums is Mick Reed (1919 , Ship of fools and Nine Invisibles).
