THE MUSIC PUBLISHER
Founded in New York City in 1983, by Jerry Calliste Jr., in 2008 Hashim Music will celebrate 25 years of independent music publishing. Hashim Music is a publisher member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP - circa 1984). Over the years Hashim Music has published and co-published some of the most popular hip hop electro-funk and electronic dance music in the world. At the peak of the old school hip hop and electro-funk build up in the 80's, Hashim Music is responsible for publishing songs that transcended hip hop and electro-funk and influenced the popularity and growth of other genres of dance music such as modern day electro and trance.
THE SONGWRITER & THE SONGS
"With its robust beat programming and a quasi-cyborg voice that repeatedly barks, "It's tiiiiime!" and "Just feel it!," Hashim's "Al Naafiysh (The Soul)" has remained one of the most enduring electro singles since its 1983 Cutting release. The swift, powerful electronic funk rhythm and the eerily drawn-out synth notes help make it as instantly recognizable as anything from Afrika Bambaataa, Egyptian Lover, or Mantronix. The song has spread on dozens of compilations, including the third volume of Tommy Boy's Perfect Beats series. Ironically, Tommy Boy rejected the song when Jerry Calliste, Jr., the man behind Hashim, shopped it to them." ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
