Koumiya “koumiya كُمِّية” EP out |  Loo & Monetti “History” out May 29th

  • Loo & Monetti “History”


    History, the brand new single from Marseille’s based duo @loo_monetti , is out now via G.Œ Records.

    A dive into adolescence, that suspended in-between where everything burns a little brighter. Friendships, family, their neuroses and their warmth, like an invisible thread that holds and guides.

    Rooted in the spirit of British electronic pop from the 90s, hat golden era where synths met raw emotion, Loo & Monetti deliver something organic, downtempo, written in one shot. Loo’s vocals, haunted by the melodic ghosts of Roger Waters and David Gilmour, drift over a production that blurs the line between acoustic and electronic, as simple as it is deeply felt.

    History is a hymn to youth, to the roots we carry within ourselves, and to those surges of the heart that remind us we are never truly alone.

    Koumiya embodies the many faces of a diasporic identity in tension. Through his self-titled debut EP, the artist explores and reclaims a North African heritage long relegated to the margins, seeking to trample the stereotypes and lingering colonial imaginaries that persist.

    Between collective uprisings and introspective poetry, between defiance and vulnerability, Koumiya navigates a hybrid soundscape where Darija, Arabic, French, and English intertwine. Influences merge without hierarchy: rap, drill, bass music, dub, dream pop, and footwork converge to create a distinctly diasporic sound, carried by voices that deliver an emancipatory and combative form of poetry.

    The name itself, Koumiya, refers to the traditional dagger predominantly worn by Imazighen peoples. Both ornament and weapon, a symbol of tribal belonging, it is traditionally passed down from father to son. This transmission was broken within the artist’s family history, turning this musical project into an act of reappropriation and remembrance.
