Islam Chipsy and his duo of powerhouse drummers, Khaled Mando and Mahmoud Refat, make up E.E.K. — a three-piece force out of Egypt that has earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts on the planet. Released in 2019 via Cairo-based imprint 100copies, Kahraman marks the group's long-awaited return to the studio, delivering an electrified take on shaabi, the Egyptian musical style that translates as "of the people."
Kahraman showcases the full range of the group's sound across six tracks, from techno-folk psychedelia to driving, hypnotic rhythms that feel like the wildest house band in Arabia cutting loose. Islam Chipsy's keyboard work wrings drones, melodies, and synthesized textures into something wholly unique, while the dual drummers provide the relentless rhythmic muscle that gives the album its fierce, kinetic energy — making this their strongest and most dynamic studio statement to date.
