Oriental house music is distinguished by its fusion of modern house beats with traditional Middle Eastern musical elements like the sitar, oud, or various types of drums. Culturally, it celebrates themes from Middle Eastern, Asian, and North African traditions. Oriental House draws listeners into a vibrant soundscape that emphasizes rhythm, spirituality, and community.

Techno from East Asia possesses a distinct identity that sets it apart from its global counterparts, in that it combines the futuristic soundscapes that Techno is known for in the west and either combines it with traditional instruments or puts an entirely new spin on what we perceive as futurism. This unique blend not only showcases East Asia’s rich cultural heritage but also pushes the boundaries of electronic music, making the featured artists a dynamic and influential force in the global techno landscape.
