about

Empires of Dirt is the new EP from CASKO the techno alias of Chafik Chennouf, Moroccan born, Amsterdam based producer, DJ and head of Leyla Records.

Each of the four muscular tracks are tensely constructed around field recordings and vocal samples recorded in the shelter where Chennouf works with undocumented people with psychiatric conditions. Chafik approached this as a community art project to give a platform to the unheard and unseen. He explains this EP is an attempt to highlight and address the traumas of the refugee crisis, precipitated by the actions and inactions of western governments that cause people from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to suffer the loss of their homes and cites and to be forced to flee, to become undocumented in the west and to suffer once again, already in the new land but still traversing the old borders.
