It all started somewhere between the Mediterranean and Red Sea. It’s the ‘black land’ of Egypt, where the story of Aly & Fila came to life.
5000 years of genesis - including its world-famous pharaohs, pyramids and ancient civilization – later, another thing became part of its culture. Pure trance music, from the hands of Aly Amr Fathalah and Fadi Wassef Naguib.
For Aly & Fila, things really kicked off in 2003, when their ‘Eye of Horus’ turned into a big club hit, played out by all trance-minded A-list DJ’s. It would soon be clear that the Egyptian producers were much more than a one-hit wonder. In the years following, Aly & Fila released a slew of club-scorching, chart-hitting trance tracks and remixes, of which ‘Spirit of Ka’, ‘Ankh – Breath of Life’ and ‘Lost Language’ managed to put millions of trance fans into a frenzy. Outside the studio, audiences around the globe knew Aly & Fila for their all-round appeal. All the energy of their gigs at major festivals, nightclubs and events came together in the 2009 DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, where Aly & Fila climbed all the way to the 22nd position. To Aly & Fila however, their journey in music is about more than just popularity. Clear evidence of that, is their very own ‘Future Sound of Egypt’ label, part of Armada Music. The label is set up to release high quality trance by some of the world’s most talented and passionate producers.
Aly & Fila feel right at home in that group. Their debut album ‘Rising Sun’ is the result of their life-long passion for the trance genre and all its treasures. For this debut album the guys have joined forces with talented vocalists and producers including Tiff Lacey, Sue McLaren, Josie, Denise Rivera, Philippe El Sisi and Bjorn Akesson to name a few.
Aly & Fila’s characteristic sound of uplifting and euphoric trance is encapsulated perfectly through every single track on ‘Rising Sun’. One disc of pure energy, get ready and watch the scene’s most exciting duo propel their way further into dancedom.
