“Shabab Al-Mustaqbal” (Youth of the Future) is an artist-led series built as a response to traditional booking structures. It operates as a non-profit, collaborative platform, where 100% of ticket revenue goes directly to the performers. The project will move across cities, creating spaces that prioritize artists, community, and experimentation.
The evening begins with music from 19:00, transitioning into live performances starting at 21:00, and back to spinnin music till the end.
Expect a spectrum of sounds shaped by diaspora, memory, and new directions — from intimate vocal sets to hybrid live electronics.
We are reclaiming the sound of our generation — Khawa!

سلسلة "شباب المستقبل" صُمِّمت من أجل الفنانين، حيث تنتقل من مفهوم الليالي المنظمة بأسلوب الشركات إلى نموذج تعاوني يضع الفنان في المقام الأول.
ما يعنيه ذلك: نحن كمنظّمين لا نأخذ أي نسبة من العوائد في هذه السلسلة.
"شباب المستقبل" كان يومًا وعدًا كنّا نشاهده على الشاشات. واليوم، نحن هذا الوعد. هذه السلسلة مبنية بنا ولنا—مساحة ديناميكية غير ربحية "تتحرك" عبر المدن والبلدان، مكرّسة بالكامل لفنانينا.
An independent electronic art label, carries that same spirit, a bold push forward, a promise, a vibe destined to take over the music space or the region sooner or later.Khawa…you might wonder what it means.In modern El Sham slang, it’s the word you use when something will happen, no debate. A confident nudge, a quiet flex. As in: “Khawa, you are coming!!”But Khawa is more than slang. It’s a well-known term across El Sham region, from unknown clear origins, where in north african arabs it means for them Brotherhood, or the loud voice in an empty room, carrying a triple meaning that still sparks debate. It’s spoken by the old and the young, cutting across social classes with ease. A word that grew out of resilience, a way of living shaped by harsh conditions, where strength and resourcefulness were survival tools. That’s the essence: obtaining something against the odds, doing it right even when the world resists. Khawa became a social value, a symbol of power and pride, echoing through tribes and families. And today, it echoes in art.
