Blending bass, breaks and deconstructed club with her own take on underground Egyptian sounds, Cairo-based DJ, producer and guitarist Jana’s sets feel both rooted and forward-facing, with recent releases, including MASROOF OXYGEN and TES3EEN, seeing her pushing further into vocal collaborations and warped rap textures.
In this mix, Jana moves through deconstructed club, bass, grime-influenced beats, baile and more, with cuts from artists including EsDeeKid, Fakemink and Vince Staples. Strap in.
Who: Jana.
Where: Cairo, Egypt.
What: Deconstructed club music, heavy bass sounds, hip-hop and baile.
When: [This mix is for] a chill set-up in my friend’s living room.
Why: It sounds cliché, but music saved my life. It inspires me to express myself. It makes me feel alive and self-fulfilled with every gig, production or small advancement in my career.
