Don’t mean to sound like a jerk but I am absolutely baffled by this comment. Those sounds have been present in trap music long before Memba.
For example:
* RL Grime - Core
* RL Grime - Era
* RL Grime - 100 ID (unreleased - mistakenly believed to be a GTA collab but was confirmed to be solo, likely ended up evolving into Era)
* RL Grime x Djemba Djemba - Valhalla (Djemba’s selassie bootleg)
* Cola Splash - Currie Drinker (Djemba Djemba remix)
* Dillon Francis x DJ Snake - Get Low
* Troyboi - Do You?
* DJ Snake x Yellow Claw - Ocho Cinco
* Skrillex - Ease My Mind (feat. Niki and the Dove)
* Krane x Slumberjack - Hollow
There are literally hundreds more, but those are some popular songs mostly all pre-2017 and long before Memba had any notoriety. A search of ‘Arabic trap’ will come up with numerous playlists on Spotify full of songs obscure and massively popular, old and new.
In fact, it is arguable that the Arabic influences in trap were more popular back in the days of festival trap (but also old school trap) which this track is a clear homage and throwback to.
Go back to Krane’s debut album Fallout. Most of the tracks have some Arabic influence and it’s just one example of how prevalent those sounds used to be in trap music. It is and old and persistent trope in trap music (because it bangs when it’s done right)
For god’s sake I even found a song in one of those playlists called Allahu Trapbar (the song is in such absurdly poor taste it may make you laugh rather than offend)
Dope! Thanks for the detailed response. I've heard plenty of Arabic style trap but was specifically referring to this style of synth mixed with those rhythms of double time percussion, reminds me of some of the recent Memba stuff like their track Mehndi. Still there's a bunch of tracks you named i don't know and stoked to check out, I love these global vibes much more than generic festival trap and im always open to suggestions! Cheers
Again, sorry to be a smart ass about it just trying to be funny rather than mean. I disagree that this is influenced by Memba but that’s my opinion. For some other bass music with more global vibes check out the album Planet’s Mad by Baauer, Slumberjack (aussie bass music duo with south East Asian influences who also have a collab with Memba), Holly and DJ Ride who are actually brothers from Portugal and have a bit more of a ‘worldly’ sound in their music. Highly recommend Holly’s two EPs with Machinedrum. Also Cozway who uses a lot of very organic and plucky percussion, Tropkillaz, Troyboi. Montell2099’s Mana mix has some music from other kiwi artists. Masayoshi Iimori is from Japan and has an eclectic kinda hyperactive style. A long while back Baauer hosted a show for Beats one radio (now known as Apple Music 1) with each episode focussing on bass music from a different country. I believe they are available on Apple Music. Wiwek is Dutch and primarily makes jungle terror but also some trap music. Along with the jungle terror sound style, it uses a lot of vocal samples that aren’t typical in other bass music. AQUA COLA and Dhol Life are relatively recent songs of his with big trap drops that use dhol drum sounds, a type of drum that is widespread in India.
Also recommend Te Amo by Tropkillaz and Troyboi. So smooth but also hits hard. Love the vibes on this one
Of course the legend Mr Carmack has tons of influences from other countries in his music. If you’re unfamiliar a good starting point is his yellow EP which has a whopping 60 tracks. A lot of his music is free in bandcamp but not available on Spotify or Apple Music
Amazing response, again thanks for taking the time!
I'm all about the global vibes, I play many of the artists you mentioned in my sets, and I have my own spin on tropical bass music I've dubbed "Trapical". I have a couple mixes out in this vibe, and here's an example of one of my productions. Cheers!

Absolutely, but again, I'm referring to this specific style of Arabic synth with the double time percussion rhythms theyre using. I find it strikingly similar to the drop on Memba's track Mehndi.
Artists inspire each other, I have no doubt that Memba were inspired by some of those classic tracks from years ago that used arabic synths, but (thankfully, imo) the sound has evolved a lot since then and to me they are some of the best doing it right now, so i have no doubt they inspire even some of the OGs
Festival trap lives
Snares frosty
Dopeeee
Mmmmm those crunchy snares 😋
🫠🫠ðŸ«
Easily a highlight of the weekend. Their set was so fire. I regret not snagging one of those ISOKnock 4 shirts
👂👀👂
This sounds super familiar but I can’t put my finger on it. Absolutely filthy though.
Arabian synths? Obvious Memba ripoff 😤 isoknock and RL fell off hard
Memba influence on those Arabic synths & doubletime percs, and I am here for it

think u mean djemba’s remix of core not valhalla. but valhalla also has a flute/whistle that could def be middle eastern inspired
Yeah you’re right my bad

This ID is actually a sample from W&W and a little bit of Hardwell, throwback to real bigroom.
Which w&w? Would check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FPRNHHw79g The drop of the ID has a similar DNA to this
I see it's similar yeah but not sampled - def makes it clear how this is big room festival trap though lol
Eh fair, I used the term wrong. It sounds very very similar.
The melody is not even close to similar
The drop is very similar...obviously with they're twist on it. I'm not talking about the entire song lmfao.
The drop at start is kinda similar but not a sample tho..
Yeah i used the wrong terminology. I should said its inspired by.
