Future Rai Breakbeat plus X

About Me


Berlin-based NOMAD SOUNDSYSTEM sits on the cutting edge between electronic dance grooves and passionate arabic live music.
The stylistics the band choses are as versatile as the origins of its members: Rai, Drum & Bass, Rock, oriental-electronics, Dub and Gnawa-Trance merging effortlessly to a highly original urban soundscape that works both - on dancefloors and in your braincinema.
Nomad SoundSystem have been labelled new whiz kids of Global Beatz, but the winners of 2005 RUTH Worldmusic Award don't care about hype, they rather go out and play hot live gigs to reach an ever growing audience.
A Culture Jamming Live Experience!
SEE BELOW THE VIDEO FOR OUR FIRST SINGLE RELEASE "SIDI KHOUYA" featuring P.R. KANTATE as guestrapper in his glorious BERLINGUA Style!
You can get SIDI KHOUYA and 10 other songs on our DEBUT ALBUM, out since May 2007 on Stock & Stein Records in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Please ask your local dealer or get it at our live concerts. Alternatively you can download it from most download services also.
If you would like to license some our material or release it for another country, please be in touch with us.

Band Members: Guitar player DAVID BECK is familiar with culture jamming, in the Moroccan- German Gnawa Impulse outfit he had been connecting archaic rhythms with rock and electronic structures for years.

He joined up forces with TOMOKI IKEDA from Japan, who creates beats and samples on his laptop building the strong rhythmical backbone for the progressive Nomad sound.

In KARIM SFAXI from Tunisia they found the charming vocalist, whose expressive colourful singing is taking audiences by storm.

Algerian born MILOUD MESSABIH is the passionate percussionist and accordionist who used to play with Rai legends like Bellemou or Tassili.

DJ SHAZAM puts tasteful scratches next to dubby bass lines, he has also been seen dropping ethneolectric DJ sets internationally as solo DeeJay.
