Labubu Collectables Now Available on Careem in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

The designer toy craze hits new heights as Pop Mart's viral figures get express delivery treatment.
May 29, 2025
Labubu, the impish, wide-eyed character from Pop Mart's 'The Monsters' toy line, has taken over schoolyards, TikTok feeds, and now—Careem. The mischievous doll is part of a broader global craze for collectible art toys known as "blind box" figures: small vinyl toys sold in mystery packaging, where the exact character isn't revealed until opened. Originally designed by Hong Kong-based illustrator Kasing Lung, Labubu is one of Pop Mart's most recognisable figures, blending eerie charm with playful collectability.
Now, thanks to a new partnership between Pop Mart and Careem, Labubu dolls can be delivered straight to your door in under 20 minutes in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The express delivery feature, available through the Careem app, allows customers to skip store queues and avoid long wait times, a relief for parents navigating toy store hype or playground peer pressure.

ZULI Builds on the 'Lambada' Universe with New EP 'Care'

Built between Cairo and Berlin, ZULI's Care dives deeper into the soundscape of 2024's Lambda, blending R&B mutations, field recordings, and ambient fragments into four dense, layered tracks. Jun 22, 2025 Berlin-based Egyptian producer ZULI releases 'Care', a four-track EP that expands the his 2024's LP 'Lambda'. Developed between Cairo and Berlin, the release includes two original tracks and two reimaginings, offering a study in melancholy, detail, and immersive storytelling. The lead track, 'Care', opens with a field recording of ZULI tapping an unplugged guitar. A sudden street fight in Cairo, accidentally captured in the background, forms part of its atmospheric core. The result is a piece equally rooted in restraint and intensity. 'Elysian Blue' continues the textural approach of 'Lambda', using minimalist melody and drifting ambience to conjure emotional residue. The EP also includes a remix of 'Ast' (feat. Coby Sey), with Berlin's Ludwig Wandinger reshaping its R&B DNA into something soulful, surreal, and dream-like.

Shkoon Drops ‘Greater Than One (Remixes)' EP, Giving ‘Mili,' ‘Souf,' and ‘Jadal' a Second Life

Shkoon just released Greater Than One (Remixes), a three-track EP that hands over their original work to a trio of international producers, each offering a fresh perspective on the group's blend of Arabic soul and electronic depth. Out via MDLBEAST Records, the EP kicks off with Berlin-based AWEN's moody, cinematic take on 'Mili', layering rich synths and deep bass around the track's emotional core. Lebanese-Nigerian producer Imad reimagines 'Souf' through an Afrohouse lens, building a rhythmic pulse that bridges his cultural roots and Shkoon's signature tension. Closing the release is Danish producer Nandu, who transforms 'Jadal' into a hypnotic, progressive house journey, stretching the original into a slow-burning, layered ascent. Each remix stands on its own while expanding the emotional and sonic language of Shkoon's Greater Than One album — a project already rooted in cultural fusion and introspection.
