Having contributed to this compilation, it is the Portuguese artist Mesqit who signs the label\u2019s second release with <em>Coffin Sounds<\/em>, an EP that makes music out of the funerary inscriptions engraved on Egyptian tombs. These ideograms were designed to obtain the protection of the Gods against the dangers of the afterlife and served as inspiration for Mesqit, who has always gravitated towards original themes in his music, from tales of samurais to oppressed Arab peoples. With a sound that the label describes as a hybrid between techrreo, reggaeton, dembow and baile funk, the producer tells the story of a young man\u2019s post-mortem journey from mummification to rebirth. &#8220;Rebirth&#8221; is a minimalist baile funk track that toes the line between big energy and serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order the EP <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sacrilejiorecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/coffin-sounds-ep\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mesqit - Rebirth\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kIzlmnhZxts?start=1&#038;feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Mesqit- Rebirth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FINAL-COVER-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The portuguese producer has delivered the Peruvian label, Sacrilejio Records\u2019, second release, an EP with a stron storytelling angle inspired by Egyptian beliefs.
