There are multiple artists recording under the name EEK.
1. EEK is the band of Egyptian keyboard virtuoso Islam Chipsy (real name Islam Said), an avant-garde keyboard virtuoso from Cairo, backed up by the two drummers Islam Ta’ta’ and Khaled Mando. Although Chipsy's keyboard is preset to familiar oriental scales, timbres and notes, he entirely de-constructs the typical shaabi sonic sphere, morphing it into something that is both familiar and outer worldly. His music is heavily percussive and rhythm-based, yet he has redefined the possibilities of the holy trinity of dance music: synthesizer, drums and bass.
EEK has released two albums for the Egyptian record label Nashazphone, "Islam Chipsy: Live at the Cairo High Cinema Institute" and the studio (mini-)album Kahraba.
2. EEK is a band from Brazil.
