Like a thief in the night, and almost 4 for years after his critically acclaimed full-length album Kabul Fire Vol 2, beat virtuoso Farhot has returned to the (crime) scene with his latest all-in- strumental record “stealing from cats”.
While on his last LP, he took listeners on a journey to his birthplace Kabul, he is now taking them along as he goes out stealing sounds from fellow musicians (label mates) and dusty Jazz archives and. Reminiscent of that time when Blue Note invited Madlib into their cata- combs to create the seminal “Shades of Blue” LP, this slow-paced record sees Farhot eclec- tically fusing Jazz samples with downtempo, instrumental hip-hop art.

From the hazy, chopped vocal samples of the intro tune “selfish” to the dreamy closer “they need me”, this 12-song masterpiece is as much an homage to the virtuosity of Jazz cats like Silvan Strauss as it is to the fine art of sampling that Farhot cheekily calls stealing.
The album is set to be released on 03.05.2024 on Farhot’s own label Kabul Fire Records.
