Half-Egyptian, half-Palestinian artist Rozer blends a deep knowledge of traditional instruments, regional sounds and Arabic maqamat such as Bayati, Saba, Hijaz and Nahawand, with modern electronic music. Rooted between Gaza and Cairo, his work mainly fuses electro shaabi with drums, deep bass, and unconventional sound design.

This mix leans into that range, built for the late hours when the floor settles and the crowd locks in.
