‘MARS’ is the first single from Farhot‘s upcoming uptempo project ‘RAQS (105-118BPM)’. A dynamic fusion of big beat, house, and hip-hop, it features a captivating vocal sample from Somali band 4Mars’ ‘Tilman Baa Lagu Socdaa’. Farhot blends high-energy rhythms with deep cultural resonance, creating a dancefloor anthem that transcends borders. ‘MARS’ reflects his passion for connecting cultures through music, offering a fresh yet traditional sonic journey.
Afghanistan born, Hamburg based producer, artist and founder of Kabul Fire Records, Farhot has been on the scene for over a decade now. He began his career working and touring with singer Nneka also producing most of her albums to date. Farhot productions – and more so his own releases as an artist – carry his personal signature sound, while not limiting himself to a certain genre or style. Still, it’s safe to say that he’s firmly rooted in hip-hop culture. Farhot is one half of producer duo “Die Achse” alongside longtime-friend and collaborator Bazzazian. His impressive body of work includes productions for artists like Giggs, Kano, Isaiah Rashad, Talib Kweli, Selah Sue, 113, LOC, Haftbefehl, Xatar – and at last his own releases of Kabul Fire Vol. 1 & 2 – from which the later of the two has been honored by The Guardian as their album of the month.
