VA - did you mean: irish (2020)

If you’re not entirely into House and Techno, neither are you into partying for partying’s sake then Cairo can be quite boring. That’s why Rama and ZULI decided to start irsh; an excuse for them to hang out with their friends and play music, masquerading as a video series of live music and DJ sets by their Cairo-based friends and others passing through the city.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit and brought social interaction (and hence the series) to a halt, Rama and ZULI thought it would be a good idea to collect tracks from everyone who has played irsh so far into a compilation to serve as a snapshot of what everyone’s currently up to, but to also showcase the richness of talent in their international circle of friends and affiliates. Provided the loose and casual nature of irsh, a handful of artists who are yet to feature in the series were also asked to partake in this compilation, which feels like the first of many more to come.
