With Ylh Bye Bye, Swiss-Moroccan producer Sami Galbi delivers a raw and electrifying debut album after the success of his first single "Dakchi Hani / Rruina." Merging North African folk, chaâbi, and trap with forward-thinking electronic club music, his punk energy and DIY ethos stem from years immersed in Lausanne's underground squat scene, shaping a sound that's both deeply personal and politically charged. Driven by infectious North African melodic loops, heavy basslines, and percussive textures -- blending bendir drums, karkabas, and analog synths -- Ylh Bye Bye pulses with urgency. From high-energy dancefloor anthems to dreamy acid pop ballads, the album explores themes of migration, identity, and belonging. Galbi's Arabic vocals oscillate between auto-tuned harmonies and spoken word, capturing the tensions of diaspora life. Recorded between Switzerland and Morocco, the album's title -- meaning "Let's go" or "See you" in regional slang -- reflects the artist's nomadic journey, from a DIY studio in a van to a transformative creative residency in Casablanca. It's a work of constant movement, embodying both departure and return. Featuring FlexFab and INES.

With each track tailored for the dancefloors, this vinyl release is poised to explode with energy wherever it goes.
