In April 2008 mps PILOT ventured to Cairo to work with Mazaher, a female trance group performing “Zar’, healing rituals. Mazaher perform weekly in Centre Nass Makan, THE centre for traditional egyptian music, based in Cairo. Mazaher is quite special. First because the group is mainly female (an exception in any music type) and second because Egyptian culture is heavily dominated by Arab influences. Sufism & Zar are very common but not in the open. Zar is healing music, its purpose is locating negative energy, mental problems, bloccades and releasing / transforming that into positive energy or simply a release. mps PILOT joined them in a Zar music performance with Laptop, controllers & samples. The aim was not to try to force the Zar sound to modern beats. It would lead to a spasmodic situation. With his electronics mps PILOT tries to transport Zar music to the future.

Black Pepper Remixes EP, track 1

Tigerstyle ft. Miss Rimpi – Bol! Bol! Bol! (StreamerPilot’s Dholstep mix) 5.06
StreamerPilot loves desi, the Punjabi groove sound created by so many talented UK producers. mps PILOT has been deejaying the style for years, and UK-born producer Streamer was looking to add some desi spice to his dubstep. So a StreamerPilot desi beat remix was always on the cards.
StreamerPilot approached the two Pakistani producers behind Tigerstyle, the UK’s leading desi beat outfit, to remix their Bol! Bol! Bol!. Tigerstyle’s original is an upbeat take on a Punjabi wedding song, featuring the talents of singer Miss Rimpi. StreamerPilot’s remix is progressive dubstep laced with those powerful female vocals, bringing the Tigerstyle sound to mainland Europe for the first time.

Black Pepper Remixes EP, track 2
Track 2, Ot Azoj Klezmerband – Turkish Honga (StreamerPilot’s Rare remix) 5.16
Klezmer music has long had an important place in the Dutch musical landscape. Top exponents of the genre the Ot Azoj Klezmer Band asked StreamerPilot to select a track to electrify for the dancefloor. StreamerPilot chose the joyful instrumental frenzy that is Turkish Honga. Their Rare remix starts off unassuming enough, then surges into uplifting, progressive techno bass with crashing snares topped off by a wild virtuoso gypsy violin solo.
Yet another track showing off StreamerPilot’s distinctive production style at its best.

Black Pepper Remixes EP, track 3
La Mal Coiffee – Filhas que ses a maridar (StreamerPilot’s Out of Town remix) 5.42
The superb original acapella by French Occitan group La Mal Coiffee gets a thorough reworking by StreamerPilot. They came across the track after a gig in Marseleille and fell in love with it. After a friendly e-mail exchange with the slightly bemused singers (what would two Amsterdam producers do to their traditional music?) they gave their blessing. Lucky they did, because it means you get to experience StreamerPilot’s Out of Town remix. Imagine: five sturdy heathen Occitanian women singers and a musical wizard behind harpsichord and laptop in a 22nd century nightclub.
Play in the midwinter… late… in the dark.
