Global player, Fatima Al Qadiri's highly anticipated and awesome debut LP, 'Asiatisch' finds a natural home in the unparalleled Hyperdub catalogue. Since 2011, the Senegal-born visual artist and composer has consistently wowed with her unique art and practice weaving memories of a childhood spent in Kuwait with a taste for hyper-local styles such as East London Sino-Grime, Chicago Footwork, Kurdish Dabke and Egyptian Electro Chaabi, coupled with the kind of forward, vaporous, and illusive sonics of up-to-the-second, rhizomic styles heard in Seapunk and the micro-genres covered in online hub, DiS magazine. Previous records have touched on sacred Islamic music and she's also collaborated with Visionist, beside her role in the hotly-tipped Future Brown group. Which brings us to 'Asiatisch', her most substantial and arguably definitive statement to date. Very much a product of its epoch, the album seeks rich inspiration from China, both melodically, lyrically and in the way it favours ultra-synthetic colours and timbres more than anything else. It's hardly a cynical move, expecting fame in The East, but shares more in common with the way Jammer, Rapid, or Wonder were possibly inspired to make exotic, escapist Sino-Grime riddims in the early '00s by the looming economic beacon of the HSBC tower on Canary Wharf - a major symbol for the perceived economic allure, mystery, and technologically advanced culture of Asia spied from their relative "ghetto" in Bow, E3. There's a strong, literal vocal presence across the record, from the knowing, computerised Mandarin of Helen Fung on opener 'Shanzai' (trans: "Imitation" or "pirated goods"), thru the wistful phrasing of 'Szechuan' and the curious 'Forbidden City', to a shockingly affective cover of Prince and The Family's 'Nothing Compares 2 U', but also more subtly in the myriad synthesiser chorales which perfuse the glinting, syncopated steel, glass and plastic contours of each track.
