This edition of our bi-weekly playlist 'Shuffle', formerly known as Shreet Cocktail, is packed with new releases from some of the biggest artists from across the region, like Yasmine Hamdan, Tul8te and Saint Levant.
On the playlist, we have Lebanese indie icon Yasmine Hamdan with 'Hon', the first song of her upcoming new album. Written in collaboration with Palestinian poet Anas Aaili, the track captures a sense of displacement and fracture which Hamdan experienced in the aftermath of the devastating news of the Beirut port explosion in 2020.
Next up, we have Egyptian pop sensation Tul8te collaborating with the legendary Hamed El Shaari on 'Qesm El Shakawy', a fresh effort on Libyan reggae with bedouin folklore undertones.
The list also features a wicked house groover by Tunisian DJ and producer Birki, Lebanese trailblazer Wassim Bou Malham channelling an Arabian Nights-inspired sound with Gharam Electric's 'Love in Hijaz', along with fresh releases from Mohammed 'Number One' Ramadan, Sudanese-Egyptian alt-pop shapeshifter Nxdia, Seif Mrdeny and more.

Inside Beirut and Beyond's First Music Production Residency in Cairo

Inside Beirut and Beyond's First Music Production Residency in Cairo Back in April 2025, Beirut and Beyond, a Lebanese-bred organization and festival that has quickly grown into a sustainable platform for artist development, hosted a nine-day music production residency for the first time in Egypt. Led by Tunisian DJ and producer Deena Abdelwahed in partnership with Cairo-based WRST collective, the residency's core mission was to provide six selected participants of emerging Lebanese producers with a space for experimentation, learning and cultural exchange. This residency came as a second revisited edition of Beirut and Beyond's 'Rap & Beyond' initiative, an artistic residency which was launched in 2023 in collaboration with Sweden's World Culture Museums, inviting hip-hop womxn artists from the SWANA region to Beirut for one week to attend a series of workshops and collaborative music sessions, led by Noise Diva. Beirut and Beyond initially planned for the residency to take place in Lebanon in late 2024 as part of the MASAR, a two-year program supported by the FSPI grant from the Institut Français. However, due to the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the escalation of the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the residency was relocated to Cairo instead. 'Cairo quickly was a natural fit for the residency, with its dynamic music scene, regional accessibility, and potential for building new networks and collaborations.' Yara Mrad, Program Manager, Beirut and Beyond, tells SceneNoise. However, the move proved beneficial, as participants were given the opportunity to immerse themselves in Cairo's musical landscape, attending a Zaar performance by the infamous group Mazaher. Egyptian multi-instrumentalist YUNIS joined the participants in WRST studio, where he shared his creative process and the inspirations behind his new record, and later invited them to attend his album launch party at Cairo Jazz Club. Deena Abdelwahed, a trailblazing producer herself who has been making waves in the electronic music scene across MENA, Europe and beyond –guided participants on everything, from composition and sound design to navigating the industry and building sustainable careers. Her approach wasn't about imposing a set method, but rather encouraging self-discovery. 'Rather than following a rigid curriculum, the program was designed based on an open-ended and discursive approach, allowing artists to define, or redefine, their artistic direction through dialogue, feedback, and creative trials,' Mrad notes. Collaboration with local music collectives and record labels in Cairo, particularly WRST collective, played a pivotal role in shaping the experience on the ground, providing the logistical support and direct connections needed within Egypt's music community. Participants got to attend a workshop with the lo-fi and electro-shaabi maestro, El Waili, right in his own studio, where he demystified his personal approach to beat-making and storytelling through production, further contributing to the residency's emphasis on practical knowledge sharing. Meanwhile, at Cairo Jazz Club, Egyptian sound engineer Nazli Reda also gave the participants a hands-on technical workshop on live performance, walking them through the D Day checklist and soundcheck technicalities. 'This helped the participants explore new ways of thinking about sound, audience, and community, allowing them to step outside of their usual context while remaining connected to the regional fabric that binds us.' Yara explains. But, beyond the technical skills, the residency encouraged participants to engage with deeper artistic questions 'Altogether, we wanted to emphasize process over product, supporting the participants in asking the difficult but essential questions around what makes their sound distinct, and how to keep evolving it with clarity and intention.' Yara shares with SceneNoise. This focus is crucial, especially for artists in the region who often don't have the privilege of dedicating uninterrupted time to their practice, as they struggle with financial instability and the need for stable side jobs, which frequently get in the way of creative exploration. As Yara puts it, 'Residencies like this one offer a much-needed space and time for artists to step away from their daily realities and focus solely on developing their music and sound.' Looking ahead, Beirut and Beyond plans to continue supporting the participants of the residency by showcasing their work and offering further opportunities. This Cairo residency is just the initial thread of a larger vision to build a network of residencies that, according to Yara Mrad, 'not only support individual artistic journeys but also contribute to a vibrant, interconnected cultural landscape throughout the MENA region.'

Why Music Collabs Across the Arab World Matter More Than Ever

In 2025, Arab music is no longer confined by borders, or genres, or dialects, or even expectations. A new wave of collaboration is sweeping across the region, not as a passing trend, but as a cultural, strategic, and emotional necessity. Artists are no longer just making music, they're building bridges in a region that desperately needs connection. For decades, the Arab world's music scenes functioned in silos. Moroccan rap lived in Casablanca. Khaleeji pop stayed in the Gulf. Levantine indie barely made it beyond Beirut. Even the biggest stars often catered only to local audiences, shaped by fragmented media ecosystems and limited industry infrastructure. But those rules are dissolving, and fast. The shift isn't just about the sound. It's about who the music reaches and what it represents. When Amr Diab and Cheb Khaled dropped 'Albi,' it wasn't just two icons collaborating, it was Egypt and Algeria, two giants with decades of history and distinct sonic legacies, coming together in one track. It was a rare moment of musical diplomacy: pop met rai, nostalgia met evolution, and fans across North Africa and the Levant tuned in to a shared moment. That sense of shared identity feels even more powerful in tracks like 'Kalamantina,' where Saint Levant's smooth, diaspora-inflected flow collided with Marwan Moussa's sharp Egyptian cadence. It wasn't just a song, it was a conversation between worlds. Every listener could find a piece of themselves in the mix. And that's the point. Arab youth today aren't defined by national borders. They're fluid, global, political, polyglot, and their playlists reflect it. Collaboration now is more than creativity. It's a form of resistance. In a region where politics, censorship, and media often divide, music has become one of the few spaces where unity feels possible. When artists collaborate across countries, they unlock access, not just to fanbases, but to stages, festivals, and charts that would otherwise remain closed. Music now travels faster than policy. A producer in Beirut can DM a rapper in Casablanca, send a beat to Riyadh, and drop the song on TikTok the next day. The internet has erased the logistical excuses. What's left is choice, and artists are choosing each other. Most importantly, they're responding to demand. Arab Gen Z isn't passively consuming music; they're driving it. They want stories that reflect their reality: not neatly packaged national identities, but messy, mixed, multilingual ones. The success of these collaborations shows that fans are ahead of the industry. They're not asking for representation, they're curating it. So why do collaborations across the Arab world matter more than ever? Because they reflect the future that Arab youth are already living. Because they offer unity in a time of fracture. Because they bypass the broken and build something new. And because they prove, again and again, that even in a region of difference, the beat still brings us back to each other.
