about

Canadian producer Scott Monteith, aka Deadbeat, touches on the traditional music of qawwali on this first album under his own name. Featuring a mere eight tracks, Qawwali Quatsch features transcendental sounds combined with hypnotic violins and voices by long-time friend and collaborator Sophie Trudeau of the acclaimed band Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

This absorbing concept came about after Monteith - best known for his dub techno escapades - attended a festival that featured music from India and Pakistan. The performance of Ali Kahn and his qawwali party, as qawwali bands are appropriately known, particularly struck a chord.

The resulting music - which the artist admits is just a humble experiment galaxies away from the real power of the source material that inspired it - resulted in a sympathetically infused album that ably captures the spirit of the revelatory, life changing music that is qawwali, and an entry quite unlike any other in his now vast catalog.
