Khalab
Layers
Electronic artist and producer Khalab has garnered international recognition for his unique blend of traditional African sounds, deep bass work, jazz, and densely layered electronic textures. His musical journey is a seamless progression, spanning from the roots of ancient tribes to the uncharted territories of the cosmos, from the jungle to the chaotic bustle of urban metropolises, and from the deepest recesses of the subconscious to the farthest and most realistic projections of future Africa. Khalab's musical philosophy centers on the fusion of tradition and evolution, synthesizing universal languages and exploring the electronic realm with a shamanic, groovy, and dark approach. These are the key elements that define his musical style. Collaborating in the years with great artists like Shabaka Hutchings, Moses Boyd, Tenderlonious, Rocio Molina, Yazz Ahmed, Joshua Idehen & more, Khalab is associated with prominent record labels such as Black Acre, Wonderwheel Recordings, and Real World Records, and is now focusing on his own label Hyperjazz Records.
