Shafiq Husayn

If the heat is on in Los Angeles right now, Shafiq Husayn is definitely one of it's brightest suns. As part of Sa-Ra Creative Partners he helped to create a sound that has influenced beat makers and producers in Los Angeles and the world a like. What is being called the "LA sound" is strongly in debt to what Sa-Ra has created. Just recently, Erykah Badu enlisted Shafiq to produce and guide her latest album New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War), which has garnered the singer the most critical praise since her debut. Now, Poo-Bah Records is blessed to present the latest in Shafiq's growing catalog of heat - Shafiq Presents Jank Random vs Earl Leonne - The Frequency Clash.

The Frequency Clash is Shafiq's first all instrumental release and showcases some of Shafiq's most stellar work to date. This EP features 13 bangers with the Sa-Ra feel, but taken to the next level. Earls Thing will be the next great DJ standard along with The Mag- two absolutely ridiculous minimal stunners that hit all the right pleasure spots in your brain. There are just too many insane moments here- dueling snares, broken piano concertos, Bombsquad-like intensity, and Mad Max-esque bouncers. A beautiful world indeed!
