Egypt’s new underground: Listen to the mix series

Tune into mixes from five artists shaping Egypt’s new underground: Jana, Azzouni, El Kontessa, Rozer, and El Mokh.

Egypt’s New Underground: Rozer

Half-Egyptian, half-Palestinian artist Rozer merges his deep knowledge of traditional regional sounds with modern experimental club music. This mix is for the late hours, when the floor settles and the crowd locks in.

Egypt’s New Underground: Azzouni

In this mix, made for when the night is almost over but you don’t want to slow down, Cairo-based producer, DJ and community organiser Azzouni drifts through dub, dancehall, leftfield bass and beyond.

Egypt’s New Underground: El Mokh

Mansoura-born producer El Mokh’s hour-long mix moves though shaabi, bass, and club sounds from his local scene and beyond.

Egypt’s New Underground: El Kontessa

Cario-based producer, DJ and multidisciplinary artist El Kontessa curates a 45-minute mix for peak club intensity: “pulsing lights, speakers shaking the walls, and the kind of energy that makes everything feel intense and alive.”

Egypt’s New Underground: Jana

Cairo-based DJ and producer Jana moves through deconstructed club and bass sounds, featuring cuts from EsDeeKid, Fakemink and Vince Staples.
