French-Algerian collective Acid Arab blends club energy with Arab sounds, redefining global electronic music with a transcultural touch.

About

Hailing from the transcultural melting pot of Paris, the DNA of the French-Algerian collective is a blend of powerful electronic music and Arab and Middle Eastern sounds. Aiming to create a space for Arab culture in the world of contemporary electronic music, the members of Acid Arab have patiently refined their style through their travels and numerous collaborations with artists from around the Mediterranean. In addition to several album releases, including the latest entitled '٣ (Trois)', which will take Acid Arab on the road to their first Olympia, the group performs in over fifty countries across four continents (Dour Festival, Sziget, Peacock Society, Solidays...). From Algerian gasba to Anatolian trance, through synthetic dabkeh, bionic raï, and many other styles, real or imagined, Acid Arab has incorporated a wide range of colors, breaking the boundaries between genres. In 2024, Acid Arab signed with the new electronic music label All Night Long and released two singles: ‘Nejri’ (featuring Franco- Algerian artist Baida Baida) and ‘Atlas’ (featuring Turkish singer Cem Yıldız), two tracks that hint at the direction the group will take in 2025.
