Desert Tent

About

Every week, as Sultan and Shepard cue up the latest episode of Dialekt Radio, listeners are instantly transported to an expansive sand desert landscape, where the horizon stretches infinitely under a canopy of stars. This DJ duo, comprised of Ossama Al Sarraf (Sultan) and Ned Shepard, blend their eclectic tastes and diverse backgrounds into a sonic journey that feels as vast and exploratory as a desert trek. Sultan, with his rich tapestry of experiences from Kuwait to Montreal, brings a depth of soul and narrative to their music, reflective of his journey through diverse cultures and his immersion in the vibrant Montreal house scene. Ned Shepard adds his unique flair, inspired by luminaries like Brian Eno and The Chemical Brothers, to create a sound that compels you to wander or dance through the endless dunes. Together, they craft an auditory experience from the nightclubs of Montreal to global acclaim, featuring tracks that resonate with their Grammy-nominated skills and collaborations with the likes of Tegan & Sara and Nadia Ali.
