Dubai-Based Artist Karrouhat Releases Single 'Cyborg in My Feelings'

Maker of films, designer of kitsch clothing, modeler of catwalks, composer of experimental music and bearer of the best mustache in the Arab world. Dubai-based jack of all trades, Basil AlHadi, AKA Karrouhat, has just released his latest single 'Cyborg in My Feeling'.

The track, which is accompanied by a bizarre and beautiful visual featuring a drowning scrap-metal dog created by Shady AlHady, has a nightmarish quality to it with retro synths underlying scattershot drum patterns, irregular pace and patterns and ominous vocal samples throughout.

There's a sudden shift half way, through. A crushed melody clammers in with a slowly rumbling rhythm, subtly oriental in nature, that feels like the track's sentient motherboard is frying as it attempts to reboot itself. It's a playful, nuanced record with a somber story wrapped inside.
