Denmark-based Tunisian producer AMMAR 808 returns with an electrifying new chapter. With his latest album “Club Tounsi”, he dives into Tunisia’s vibrant Mezoued tradition and propels it straight into the future with thunderous bass, distorted electronics and ritualistic rhythms. We’re excited to present this visionary sonic storm during Vinterjazz, when AMMAR 808 returns to ALICE. Mbizo opens the night.

Over the past years, Sofyann Ben Youssef aka AMMAR 808 has repeatedly proven his mastery of building entirely new sound worlds. First with “Maghreb United”, where he transformed North African traditions into a futuristic club dream, and later with “Global Control / Invisible Invasion”, where he fearlessly explored South Indian musical traditions and the mythical tales of the Mahabharata.

Denmark-based Tunisian producer AMMAR 808 returns with an electrifying new chapter.

We’re excited to present this visionary sonic storm during Vinterjazz, when AMMAR 808 returns to ALICE. Mbizo opens the night.

Over the past years, Sofyann Ben Youssef aka AMMAR 808 has repeatedly proven his mastery of building entirely new sound worlds. First with “Maghreb United”, where he transformed North African traditions into a futuristic club dream, and later with “Global Control / Invisible Invasion”, where he fearlessly explored South Indian musical traditions and the mythical tales of the Mahabharata.

With his latest album, AMMAR 808 turns his gaze homeward. “Club Tounsi” is an explosive, bass-heavy tribute to Mezoued – a raw, popular and historically stigmatized genre driven by goatskin bagpipes, hand drums and lyrics about heartbreak and the pressures of everyday life. This is the music of Tunisia’s streets, of the working class, of untamed wedding nights where the fezzani rhythm lights up the dance floor. AMMAR 808 takes this tradition and lets it collide with synths, mechanical beats and dystopian club aesthetics, making its pulse feel both alien and irresistibly familiar. And during Vinterjazz, AMMAR 808 will transform the concert hall at ALICE into a Tunisian nightclub in full boil.

If you’re a fan of artists like Nuri, Deena Abdelwahed or Tootard, this night comes highly recommended.
