Dar Disku (Full live band) + Morey Cillar

Strange Brew presents

Dar Disku LIVE (full band show)

\+ special guests

Full 8-piece band live show from Bahrain’s Dar Disku, whose two lead members are now based in Bristol - channelling sounds from across Arabia & beyond, including Egyptian folk, Turkish psych, Algerian rai, Sudanese funk, Ethiopian jazz, Nigerian disco and beyond

2025 marks new territory and untouched ground for the Bahraini duo Dar Disku, who presented their 2024 debut album via Soundway Records. Throughout the year, the Bristol-based artists will present a new and unique live show that has never been seen before. The show will take shape in various hybrid formats, with guest vocalists joining them along the way.

Bahrain’s Dar Disku first hit the scene as a DJ duo in 2018, but Mazen Almaskati and Vish M’s musical collaboration stretches back to their childhood. Growing up in the same neighbourhood, the pair have been fascinated by uncovering, sharing, and celebrating connections between traditional Swana music and electronic sounds since adolescence.

Dar Disku’s debut album, forthcoming on Soundway Records in September 2024, represents the latest extension of this musical journey. Vish and Mazen sought to create live and original interpretations of sonics from the countries that inspire them – transforming their influences into something new. Their meticulous analog approach to live recordings ensures that the album remains true to its roots. Dar Disku have found a fitting home at Soundway Records.

Presented by Strange Brew.
