The Profile

Muslimgauze was the musical project of Bryn Jones (1961–1999), a Manchester-based British electronic musician known for a vast, prolific discography and politicized pro-Palestinian themes.

Approximately 200+ releases; recordings span techno, dub, ambient, noise and post-industrial approaches; frequently released posthumously. Reviews cite influence on later electronic artists such as Shackleton, Andy Stott and Demdike Stare.

Two DeBaser reviews stress Muslimgauze's vast, genre-spanning electronic output and politicized focus. Mullah Said is praised as among his best, combining dub, techno and Middle Eastern sonorities. Ali Zarin is presented as a hypnotic posthumous suite of archival material.

Notable Quotes

❝ With a discography that exceeds 200 releases and shows no sign of ceasing its expansion even 24 years after Bryn Jones' untimely passing, thanks to a flood of posthumous releases between unfinished material, discards, remixes, and more, the Muslimgauze project risks being almost suffocated more for the fame of one of the most impressive discographies ever, or we often end up getting bogged down in discussions about his political positions on the Middle East.
