On 25 March 2018, The Scorpios was a guest on If Music Presents You Need This w/ Jean-Claude. The Scorpios has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 15 episodes and was first played on 24 June 2016.

Hailing from Central Sudan and now based in London after fleeing the fundamentalist takeover in that region, the Scorpios are a septet that melds Arabic rhythms and guitar chops (and a kind of swooning cyclical ecstasy) with a raw Eastern funk feel, properly dismantling cultural barriers in pursuit of a unifying rhythmic bliss. Heavy bass, synths, horns and percussions drive through traditional Sudanese forms to create a sound that owes as much to Detroit as it do to Khartoum.
