UPC: 7640159734123 With Ylh Bye Bye , Swiss-Moroccan producer Sami Galbi delivers a raw and electrifying debut album after the succes of his first single Dakchi Hani / Rruina. Merging North African folk, chaabi, 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.
