Understand
Yasmine Hamdan
Yasmine Hamdan first made her mark on the music scene with the pioneering Beirut indie electro duo Soapkills, which she co-founded with Zeid Hamdan in the late 1990s. After moving to Paris in 2005, Yasmine collaborated with Madonna’s producer, Mirwais, on the project Y.A.S., releasing the album Arabology on Universal in 2009 — a record both elegant and crafted for the clubs.
Since then, she has gained international recognition as a singer-songwriter and solo producer, weaving together a rich blend of influences: pan-Arab roots, pop and poetic lyrics, electro, soul, and guitar-driven melodies.
Yasmine has worked with filmmakers such as Elia Suleiman and Jim Jarmusch, and has toured worldwide to promote her albums Ya Nass (2013) and Al Jamilat (2017).
Her third album, titled “I remember I forget”, was released on September 19th.
Süperfly / Tuncay Acar
Growing up in two «Funky Towns» Munich and Istanbul, Tuncay Acar aka Süperfly explores the innermost depths of norientalism by permanently crossing the boundaries of cultural, ethnic, geographical, chronological, fictional regions, and musical genres. The goal is to deconstruct the omnipresent dominance of identity concepts in dance music to make room for unabashed transcultural ecstasy.
He expands his exquisite vinyl collection with digital artifacts from various genres: Kurdish Halay, Gazinomüzik, Arabesk, Anatolian and Arabian Psychedelia, Electro and Hip Hop mashups, edits and remixes of Mediterranean, Anatolian, Mesopotamian or Levantie psychedelic classics, hit songs from Turkey, Greece, Palestine, Egypt, Maghreb, North Africa, the Balkans, and from Memphis/Tennessee amalgamate with a pinch of Latin Boogaloo in the broth of passion and the heat of the Southeast.
The versatile cultural activist, networker, organizer, blogger, Dj, musician, and studied classical archaeologist is also part of the first squad of graffiti pioneers in Europe as «Blash». He blogs at triptown.de since 2011.
