Uk Electronic pioneer Celt Islam emerges from lockdown with his self styled lp "Acid Anarchist’ delivers bone crunching bass driven music that takes you from dub to delirium whilst combining Islamic and world grooves
Highlights for me are where Celt islam pairs up with Prodigy’s vocalist Shahin Badar ,Shahin is recognisable from her vocals on "Smack my bitch up" she appears here on the track 'Ignition' as a haunting livicaction to the band's late great frontman Keith Flint . Another standout is the vocals of Iration steppers Mark Iration on 'Born as an African.’ its prowling reggae dub techno is equally at home in any of those genres
There are are further collaboration with well known names such as Inder Goldfinger, tabla player for Stone Roses legend, Ian Brown’s band and Winachi Tribe . Natacha Atlas features on the track System reset, nation records founder Nation records Aki Nawaz is featured on last track Hikam .
AS one of the most gifted producers in the genre\ We can trace Celt’s melodies and samples back to: Sufism,unleashing the Sufi spirits in the world of 2021 his philosophy, essentially inclusive, and borderless by default , he does this within the genre of his own creation – "Sufi-Dub “ - DJ Smart Monkey
