Jul 23, 2015His formula may not have been reinvented, but it has been refined, and now is the time to listen.

Jul 29, 2015If you are approaching Souleyman’s music from the Modeselektor direction then this is a great place to start. If you’ve followed his career for years you may feel the electronic dressing smooths off a few of the appealingly rougher edges of his and Sa’id’s sound--but if anything they show just how far ahead he remains stylistically.

Jul 31, 2015There’s no need for conceptual nonsense that distracts from the entire point of this music: to make you move your body. On that level, Souleyman has triumphed; making music that is completely participatory in nature. If you’re not dancing or clapping while listening, you’re doing something wrong.

Jul 23, 2015For those who are familiar with Souleyman’s work, there may be nothing particularly new sonically on Bahdeni Nami. Regardless, it still remains a dizzying and exhilarating affair, preserving Souleyman’s power as an artist and performer.

Jul 24, 2015Bahdeni Nami's greatest appeal will be to newer fans who may prefer more contemporary production to the gritty lo-fi dabke aesthetic. That said, despite various flourishes, these producers try hard to remain true to Souleyman's spirit and, with only one exception, succeed in spades.

Jul 24, 2015Bahdeni Nami is nothing more than a dull and flat dance record, dressed in the trappings of the 'exotic' and 'worldly'.
