    Highly recommended set of electrified Syrian 'dabke' dance cuts, culled by Mark Gergis from cassettes and discs from Damascus, Daraa & Suweida between 1997-2010. The dabke material that circulates is recorded live at weddings and parties across the Levantine Middle East, where the traditional ceremonial music has been embellished with electronic beats and amplification technology, resulting in the amazing dancefloor intensity captured on this compilation.
