Souty, Jerusalem born and raised selector and DJ. He started his electronic musical journey back in 2012 at el-beer, an underground Palestinian venue in Jerusalem. His unique music signature lies in its colorful and carefully curated track selection, blending downtempo, afro rhythmic beats, and organic sounds.
Ariwo sculpts an immersive sound world using a base of Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, carnival melodies, cosmic jazz, and live electronics. The band brings together acclaimed Iranian electronic composer, Pouya Ehsaei, who’s released albums defined by ferociously austere electronic minimalism on Zabte Sote, one of the most in-demand trumpet players from London's jazz scene, Sam Warner, and Ghanaian-born percussionist, vocalist and composer, Afla Sackey.
Amjad & The Teddybears Picnic is a vibe. It’s a vibe born out of ‘90s jungle and late ‘90s / early ‘00s garage. It’s born out of a distinctly London sound, cultivated over the radio waves of pirate stations, sweaty basements and warehouse raves. It is a celebration of the resurgence of that sound, providing a platform to bridge between the sonic of London in the ‘90s with the producers and music of today. Amjad & The Teddybears Picnic holds a residency on Radio alHara, broadcasting every first Friday of the month at 10pm, Bethlehem time.
Abdallah Taher A veteran and stalwart in the Amman music community. His contributions span over a decade and have helped lay the foundation for the current local/regional scene.
