"Simo Cell has a knack for dangerously contorted beats and speaker-damaging low end, distinguishing him as one of the most inventive figures in the bass-music vanguard."
"Miniawy's voice could cut through the thickest, unruliest crowd, knowing when to bellow, when to whisper, and when to wield his voice like a blade."
"The opening track 'I See the Stadium' feels more like an experimental theater piece, beginning with a low drone and ominous heavy breathing."
"The mood suggests a weird frisson between menacing and jaunty; you don't really know where they're going with it, and it seems possible that they don't either."
Simo Cell and Abdullah Miniawy blend inventive bass music with Arabic vocal traditions in their latest release, Dying Is the Internet. Simo Cell's production features contorted beats and deep bass, while Miniawy's voice, influenced by classical Arabic poetry, adds a unique texture. Their collaboration continues to evolve, with tracks like 'I See the Stadium' showcasing experimental elements and a mix of styles. The music maintains a heavy sound while exploring themes of uncertainty and creativity, pushing the boundaries of genre and expectation.
