Bonobo, Rosey Gold to Play Break The Block Party in Dubai Feb 1st
Jan 29, 2025
British producer/DJ extraordinaire Bonobo is set to headline 'Break The Block', a block party series seizing City Expo Dubai to celebrate the city's counter-culture through a fusion of food, music and uninhibited creative performance on February 1st.
Organised by UAE's creative collective Brag World, 'Break the Block' draws inspiration from the block party movement, an artistic endeavour aimed at reclaiming public spaces through collective revelry.
Opening for Bonobo is the Lebanese electronic virtuoso Wass, known for his pumping futuro-arab sound, a mixture of contemporary Arabic music, vocal melodies and infectious synth hooks. The night will also include Soulection's residents; the Netherlands-based R&B artist and DJ JAEL and the South African DJ/producer Rosey Gold. Following suit, Le Hash will be commanding the decks with some Jamaican vibes, fusing dancehall, amapiano, reggae and baile funk, along with Lebanese-Armenian DJ Mathea.
The event will take place at Al Wasal Plaza. For tickets, head to Break the Block's official website.

Remains of Antarctic Researcher Dennis ‘Tink' Bell Found After 66 Years
Rana Atef The remains of British meteorologist Dennis 'Tink' Bell have been found in Antarctica, 66 years after he vanished in a crevasse accident. A Polish research team discovered the bones and personal items such as radio equipment, a wristwatch, and a pipe stem in rocks exposed by the retreating Ecology Glacier on King George Island. DNA testing by King's College London confirmed the identity, matching samples from Bell's surviving siblings. Bell, who was 25 years old at the time, was working for the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, which is now the British Antarctic Survey, when he fell through hidden ice while leading a dog sled team on 26 July 1959. A rescue attempt failed when his belt snapped as he was being hauled up. His body was never recovered until now. The remains were transported via the BAS ship Sir David Attenborough to the Falkland Islands, then flown to the UK. His family, 'shocked and amazed' by the discovery, say the find has brought long-awaited closure. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
