Release Date: 7th July 2023
"Libyan Reggae at its peak grooves courtesy of Benghazi-born Ahmed Ben Ali. After working with Ahmed in 2020 on the 12" hit "Subhana" (Habibi012) (2.4M Spotify streams), Habibi Funk is back with a fulllength release focusing on Ahmed's releases from the mid 2000's. The tracks on the LP represent a blisteringly deep collection of heavy reggae rhythms and synthesized grooves from a singular creative force, inspired as much from Jamaican sonics as from Libyan folkloric styles, as Ahmed says, "it's the Libyan style, not some bullshit." Out everywhere June 16th. "
