Brownswood Basement: Gilles Peterson w/ Mystery Tiime & Damian Harris

This week, Gilles welcomes Mystery Tiime for a live session. Mystery Tiime is the latest alias of Ayman Rostom, also known as The Maghreban and Dr Zygote. With this new persona, Rostom continues his fearless musical journey.

Being a hardcore record digger, some of this comes back to his time rummaging through dusty record shops, as he says.

"Around 2011, I widened my sample fodder from strictly jazz and funk to anything, and I started digging for new wave stuff at my favourite shop. My tastes were widening, breaking out of the stranglehold of 'keeping it real' dusty hip hop." Thematically, though, it gets deeper.

Initially, Ayman wrote these lyrics for other singers but then felt that they were so personal he was the only one who could voice them authentically. The words deal with "...my addiction - the years I was on opiates, or the messed-up way my mind was around relationships."
