Shkoon, the acclaimed electronic duo known for blending traditional Middle Eastern sounds with modern club music, unveils ‘Greater Than One’, a profound new musical journey built on themes of resilience, reflection, and shared human experience. Delivering four immersive tracks, the EP captures the depth and nuance of what it means to be human, and reaffirms Shkoon’s reputation as genre-bending storytellers. Set for release via MDLBEAST Records, ‘Greater Than One’ invites listeners into a space that transcends borders and creates a space to feel, and to remember.
Opening the EP, Shkoon’s ‘Jadal’ is a hypnotic, melodic techno journey built on groovy synths, deep basslines, and cascading violins. Gradual piano progressions layer into a rich arrangement, while the oud and ethereal vocals evoke themes of inner conflict and resilience. Inspired by moments suspended between action and silence, the track reflects emotional tension through melody and structure. ‘Souf’ follows with a captivating blend of classical piano and euphoric drums, fusing soft, gritty textures with traditional Sufi chants that are a hypnotic invitation that explores surrender, self-discovery, and the longing for spiritual connection. ‘Mili’ offers a gentler, spacey contrast, a slower-tempo love song shaped by reminiscent melodies and flowing piano riffs. Rooted in intimacy and presence, it reflects the vulnerability of closeness and the beauty of being truly seen. Closing the EP, ‘Jannah’ delivers the most powerful moment of the release, driven by fast-paced rhythm, layered instrumentation, and evocative Arabic lyrics. It paints a sonic vision of hope, healing, and transcendence, the sense of finally arriving somewhere calm, open, and whole.
Since emerging onto the scene, Shkoon has carved out a distinctive space in the global electronic music landscape, blending Syrian traditional folklore with deep house, dub, downbeat, and hip-hop to create a sound that transcends borders. Their rich performances and genre-defying productions have taken them to major stages across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, uniting audiences through music that speaks to both the heart and the soul. As they continue to evolve, Shkoon remains rooted in their core message: that music has the power to heal, and inspire. With ‘Greater Than One’, they reaffirm their place as one of the most compelling and boundary-pushing acts in today’s global electronic scene.
With ‘Greater Than One’, Shkoon enters a powerful new chapter. Drawing from personal history, cultural memory, and the universal language of rhythm, the EP bridges tradition and innovation, offering a deeply moving sonic narrative that resonates across generations and geographies. It’s more than a collection of songs, it’s an invitation to feel, to reflect, and to remember our shared humanity.
