"Tough Choices" is a 167 BPM drumfunk-influenced percussive exercise, layered with Assyouti's signature distorted vocal samples and a roaring bassline. This high-impact combination of texture and rhythm is sure to feed hungry sound systems.
Meanwhile, "Mister Blister" rolls in at a brisk 100 BPM, delivering a double-time momentum that drives the track forward with relentless force, exuding a sense of urgency and energy.
Born and raised in Egypt's crowded and disordered capital, Cairo, Assyouti is among his generation's most distinct DJs and producers. He juggles hypermodern bass mutations, warped dancefloor snaps, and percussive club experiments, drawing energy from the chaotic environment he grew up in and channeling it into refined productions and elegant selections. Since 2021, he has been based in Berlin, where he has quickly gained local traction, appearing at venues like the legendary club Tresor, RSO, OHM, and Trauma Bar. He has also performed at renowned music festivals like Berlin’s CTM and Uganda’s Nyege Nyege.
