about

After more than two decades as a globe-trotting DJ and producer, Saeed Younan releases his debut full-length artist album of original tracks titled, Morph. As a sought after remix artist for many years, Younan’s production skills shine as he journeys from the signature dancefloor percussive rhythms to meditative soundscapes. The album title is a reference to the evolution of Younan’s music production as he has matured as a producer. “You could say I have morphed from a wide-eyed DJ traveling the world to a seasoned musician with a story to tell,” said Younan.

Born in Iraq but a long time resident of Washington DC, Younan has lived on three continents and played in more than 50 countries. “I have always felt like a citizen of the planet earth regardless of the stamp on my passport.” Younan grew up listening to a variety of ethnic music and the album reflects Younan’s exploration of diverse styles and influences while maintaining his signature sound of percussive beats and sonic grooves. Morph features a diverse tracklist including collaboration with prolific vocalist, Robert Manos, up and coming Brazilian musician Jean Bacarreza, and innovative DC-based hip-hop artist, Born I.

Long-time fans will not be disappointed by the pulsing dance floor tracks that kick off the album. Tribal Heart Percussive Soul feels like a return to Younan’s roots with a pulsing rhythm and a
title reflecting his passion for the music. Ma Hauz is a nod to classic house music, the good old days before everything was overly-genred. Endless Soaring feels like an after-hours inside a genie’s bottle and Drifting Under is equally hypnotic with a deep rolling bassline.

The album has some tracks written for the dance floor but it also included a few tracks that are going to sound great on headphones. The last few tracks on the album are under Younan’s alias, The Deepart Project and are deeply personal. “I spent so many years as a touring DJ. It wasn’t until the last few years that I started to take the longest journey, the inward journey.” The Deepart Project uses sound to go inward for a deeper exploration of our perception of reality. “The track Buddhi has many layers. I recorded nature sounds but layered it with a moody synth to represent the conflict humans have with our environment, as we are all responsible for environmental destruction. We have not resolved that conflict yet. Maybe on the next album.”

GRATITUDE:
