Small World – modrums & Omar Ahmad

Deep cuts from around the globe: join deep diggers and selecters sharing their favorite deep cuts and local hits from around the world.

In August, Modrums invites the Palestinian-American composer, producer, DJ and sound artist Omar Ahmad to join him at the booth. Alongside Alicia Coleman (Sweet Kicks) Ahmad is co-founder of Ūmboma, a recurring global dance event emphasizing African, Arab and Latin American contemporary sound. He is a contributing DJ at Laylit, the largest and fastest-growing contemporary Middle Eastern and North African music community in New York. He has been a stalwart member of the underground Brooklyn electronic scene for many years and has been a guest performer with Karachi Community Radio, Radio Alhara, The Lot Radio, and more. His debut solo record, Inheritance was released in 2023 by AKP Recordings to a wide spectrum of praise, including Electronic Sound, Bandcamp’s Best Ambient Music, and DJ Mag’s “Eight Emerging Artists You Need to Hear.” Since its release, he has not rested in his support of sonic resistance and collective liberation through the Palestinian lens via live performances and new improvisations, and his new single Tala’ al-Badru ‘Alayna was featured on Resident Advisor through PTP’s Palestinian Resistance compilation.
