I first heard gnawa music back in the blogosphere days and it changed the way I thought I about music forever. So, I’m extremely excited to be releasing a new cassette from the terrific NYC based gnawa group About this release: Twilight Prophecy reveals their process of integrating time-honored Gnawa practices with experimental production, extending the tradition into contemporary space.Gnawa music is ancient psychiatry. Emerging from centuries of spiritual practice in Morocco, it blends North African mysticism with Islamic, pre-Islamic African, and Jewish ceremonial elements. At its center lies the lila—an all-night healing ceremony where musicians invoke specific spirits through repetitive rhythms and the deep resonance of the low pitched, three stringed guembri, guiding participants into trance states for therapeutic and transcendental purposes. This shamanic practice uses music as a bridge between worlds, creating space for spiritual transformation and communal healing.

Atlas Phoenix, Eilon Elikam, and Andrew Fox work at the intersection of Moroccan Gnawa tradition and contemporary electronic music. Drawing from the ceremonial rhythms and spiritual practices of Gnawa culture, they layer guembri, drum machines, and synthesizers into compositions that move between meditative and kinetic states. Twilight Prophecy reveals their process of integrating time-honored Gnawa practices with experimental production, extending the tradition into contemporary space.

has always been extremely supportive of my music and me. So, I’m also thrilled to say that I get to do the same for him. On Nov. 21st We Be Friends will release Brian’s first solo album called ‘Fizzles’. Here’s just a bit about the album and process: ‘Fizzles’ is constructed from a library of custom spliced tape loops that were created over the span of seven years. The tape loops of ‘Fizzles’ were created as a part of a meditative and holistic approach to maintaining presence, escaping the blue glow of our electronic devices, and discovering the different ways music can soothe the anxieties we face. In some of the pieces, Weza collaged and improvised over these loops for this release. Cover photo by
