Dar Disku

Dar Disku is a Bahraini DJ duo and label collective founded by Mazen AlMaskati and Vish Mhatre, drawing on HiNRG, new beat, and disco traditions rooted in Arabian music culture. Their name comes from a 1970s Egyptian pop culture magazine — Dar al-Disku, meaning "home of the disco" — which maps out their territory pretty clearly. With a Bandcamp presence and a growing catalogue of regional dance music, they're worth catching if you want a set that goes somewhere less charted than standard club fare.
