The Voice: Studio Sardena

Limited edition of 500 on Green Vinyl DJ Sardena is a major player in the current Electro-Shaabi wave that has taken over Egypt in the past few years. Better known locally as Mahragan, Electro-shaabi is characterized by heavy auto-tuned loud vocals and beats featuring synthesizers and various electronic effects. Studio Sardena, located in the Matariya disctrict of Cairo, is home to a number of singers and produces dozens of tracks every month. This LP compiles 5 tracks representing Sardena's very special, stripped down and minimal Mahragan style featuring an array of major MC's such as Salsa El-Ageeb and Halabessa.
