Aly & Fila are an Egyptian trance music duo made up of Aly El Sayed Amr Fathalah (a.k.a. Aly) and Fadi Wassef Naguib (a.k.a. Fila). They host an Internet radio show called Future Sound of Egypt, and are the founders of the label of the same name. The duo has played events across the world including Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Global Gathering, and Luminosity Beach Festival. In 2011, their track "We Control The Sunlight," which featured the vocals of Jwaydan Moyine was chosen as "Tune of the Year" on Armin Van Buuren's show A State of Trance. Again in 2016, their track "Unbreakable," with Roger Shah and vocals by Susana, was chosen as "Tune of the Year" on A State of Trance.

This is an album I return to very frequently, which is quite rare for me as I'm usually pretty "scatter-gun" in my choice of tunes and dive into whatever takes my fancy...or even, sometimes, just do the lucky-dip thing and pick an album at random.

I've enjoyed good chillout and trance, and stuff categorized just as EDM, for years. The operative word in that last statement is, of course, "good" and the definition of good is, as ever, solely mine. I have truckloads of chillout etc. albums and this is my favourite out of all of them.

I'm guessing that this might be another of my "Marmite" choices, although, perhaps not quite so much as last year's Tangerine Dream album. 

I really hope you like it, and it'll give your system a good work out if nothing else. If you've never listened to this "type" of music before give it a fair chance. Don't be put off by the label(s) applied to it.
