Morphosis (lb)
Morphosis aka Ra.H aka Rabih Beaini has been crafting away in the nether-regions of the techno underworld since the 90s. Initially as a DJ, it was a move to Italy in 1996 which proved the catalyst for him to start experimenting in the studio. And he really did experiment: few people craft the sort of emotional, imaginative techno as has Beaini for labels like Sistrum Recordings, M>O>S and Styrax.
Whilst his productions join the dots between raw, elementary electronica and jazz, for the last six years his label dic has released an equally avant-garde selection of techno from the likes of Madteo, Hieroglyphic Being and Anthony ''Shake'' Shakir. Now back in Lebanon to continue his various musical projects in his homeland, including a new Upperground Orchestra project album, Rabih Beaini continues to do what he does best: make electronic music with depth and intrigue.
The excitement surrounding his album released on Delsin Records earlier this year was palpable enough, but get lost in a full length Morphosis experience, be it live in a club or via one of his own records at home, and you enter a whole new world of techno excellence.
