May wasn’t a release-filled month, however it was staggeringly fruitful when it came to the quality of the regional music output. We round things up in Fakhfakhina 005 with the return of Egyptian synth-pop outfit Ritza, rap bangers from Tunisia Bellakoud, Wegz, post-shaabi goodness from DJ Plead, 3Phaz and more thanks to the release of Phil Battiekh’s Cairo Concepts compilation and some avant-garde awesomeness courtesy of various Hizz artists.
