Ammar 808 is Sofyann Ben Youssef, the Tunisian producer behind bands like Kel Assouf and Bargou 08. Here he brings together the Maghreb United team of Algeria’s Sofiane Said, Tunisia’s Cheb Hassen Tej and Morocco’s Mehdi Nassouli for an adventure into the dark realms of North African Futurism, characterised by 808 bass pulsing with ancient beats.
