London producer Kieran Hebden, a.k.a. Four Tet, shared the playlist yesterday, featuring songs by artists from the seven countries banned from entering the United States under President Trump's Executive Order.

The electronic musician said via Twitter that he was inspired to start listening to the material after remembering recording with Syrian musician Omar Souleyman in Brooklyn several years ago (a collaboration that would not be possible in today's America under the Executive Order).

Four Tet's 28 hour, genre-spanning playlist features music from the Muslim-majority countries affected by Trump's ban. Check out the playlist here:
