Hometown Sounds

DC music video of the day! Dark & glitchy electronic label Octofoil Records isn’t well known in the DC music scene, and that’s a shame. Their marquee musician Maduro has been blending electronic beats with Middle Eastern and Asian influences for a decade, drawing comparisons to Amon Tobin and Muslimgauze. If you’ve seen any belly dancing around town, perhaps at the Red Palace, you’ve likely heard this musician’s work. Check out the video for Catnaps & Cabarets, from Maduro’s 2011 album Black Magic Kingdom, and take a demented trip to the county fair.
