Shkoon Realeases ‘Greater Than One' Remix EP

Shkoon's new remix EP reimagines their album 'Greater Than One' with global collaborators AWEN, Imad, and Nandu, fusing cultures, club sounds, and deep emotional layers into bold new forms.
Jun 19, 2025
Shkoon, the genre-blurring electronic duo known for weaving Arabic folklore into forward-facing club sounds, drop 'Greater Than One (Remixes)', a reimagined journey through their 2022 album. Out now via MDLBEAST Records, the remix EP brings together a global lineup of producers who expand Shkoon's sonic universe while honoring its emotional and cultural core.
The project kicks off with a deep and moody take on 'Mili' from South African-born AWEN, whose remix folds warm piano motifs into pulsing deep house textures. Next, Lebanese-Nigerian producer Imad flips 'Souf' into a driving Afrohouse hybrid, merging rhythmic percussion with Middle Eastern scales in a rich cross-cultural flow. Finally, Danish artist Nandu delivers an intricate club rework of 'Jadal', lacing the track with oud, violin, and tight percussion that turns its slow-burning tension into pure dancefloor alchemy.
With each remix, Shkoon's sound becomes even more borderless. From Beirut to Lagos to Copenhagen, 'Greater Than One (Remixes)' is less about reworking old tracks and more about pushing the story forward. It's an invitation into a shared musical language, one that transcends time, place, and genre.

Amr Youssef to Star in Egyptian Sci-Fi Flick 'Mousem Seid Al Ghezlan'

Amr Youssef will star in 'Mousem Seid Al Ghezlan', a futuristic psychological thriller based on Ahmed Mourad's bestselling novel, directed by cinematographer Ahmad El Morsy in his feature debut. Jun 19, 2025 Egyptian actor Amr Youssef has officially signed on to star in 'Mousem Seid Al Ghezlan', the upcoming film adaptation of Ahmed Mourad's bestselling novel. The project marks Youssef's first collaboration with Mourad and the directorial debut of renowned cinematographer Ahmad El Morsy. Set in a distant future, the story follows Nadeem, a man haunted by a vision of a red-haired woman submerged beneath the sea—only to see her hours later among the audience at a lecture. When he accepts a mysterious invitation, Nadeem is pulled into a disorienting journey from which few return. The film probes the nature of reality and the psychological toll of forbidden knowledge. Stretching from ancient echoes to speculative futures, 'Mousem Seid Al Ghezlan' explores the ongoing conflict between logic and belief. With its blend of science fiction, allegory, and psychological suspense, the film aims to challenge genre conventions and expand the scope of Arabic-language cinema. El Morsy, long recognised for his visual signature on features like 'Kira & El Gin' and 'The Blue Elephant', as well as the Pharaohs' Golden Parade's TV special, shifts into a directorial role with a project that emphasises imagery and mood as central elements of the narrative.
