Rai Dubs outta Portland

A while back I came across a cool ep by Gulls, on Portland label Boomarm Nation. I recently caught up on them, via Factmags's great list of the 20 Best Bandcamp Releases of 2103. Love lists! This is one of their recent releases, from January. Here's the story behind Rai Dubs...

"This is a collaborative release featuring El Mahdy Jr, Gulls, XJ, and Alter Echo. Beginning with a shared love of old school Algerian Raï music and audio deconstruction, we sampled several Raï classics from cassettes and youtube rips, resulting in 3 tunes and a dub.
