LISTEN: Outernational On NTS Live

Levantine Funk... Afro psych... Egyptian grime... Disco hi-life... Two hours of party music from the Middle East and Africa

Outernational broadcast on NTS Live radio last Thursday and again on Sunday – you can listen to both shows on Mixcloud here.

Doran played Turkish funk, Lebanese disco, Iranian psych, chaabi, choubi, dabke, rai, Afrobeat, Ethio jazz, Zam rock and other forms of hybridized party music while wittering on.

Outernational is a semi-regular London free party night currently held at the Oasis-like Servant Jazz Quarters in Dalston. The next night is Saturday 21 May and runs from 9pm to 2am.
