Chiati's ‘Zaman' Ft. Omar Emara is a Fresh Take on Arab House
The two Egyptian artists and long-time collaborators unveil their first project of 2025 on Alan Dixon's Love Attack Records.
Jan 31, 2025
Egyptian producer and live act Chaiti drops a new single 'Zaman', featuring his long-time music partner and collaborator Omar Emara.
For a decade or so, the two Egyptian artists have been making music together, forming a partnership defined by a continuous process of creation and experimentation that was born out of their friendship, and even birthed a deeply personal collaborative album called 'Pantomime' in 2021.
On 'Zaman', their first collaborative project in 2025 released on Alan Dixon's Love Attack Records, Chaiti's intricate production, blending emotive house rhythms with afro and tribal elements, locks in with Emara's Arabic vocal tones, offering a fresh effort on Arab house music.
The track's poignant lyrics, pinned by Egyptian pop artist Ahmed Basyouni, detail a personal and inhibited journey of self-discovery and hope that Chaiti colours impeccably with his electronic gospel of emotional piano melodies, and innovative synth modulations.

Alexis Reel's ‘Hob W Horoub' Traces Love & Anger Across New EP
Blending hyperpop, Arabic lyrics, and raw emotion, Alexis Reel dives into heartbreak, rage, and personal rebirth on this new EP. Jun 10, 2025 In 'Hob W Horoub', Alexis Reel delivers a striking sonic narrative that moves between tenderness and rupture, love and war. The seven-track EP explores emotional volatility through a hybrid of hyperpop, electronic textures, and sharp Arabic lyricism. The project opens with 'Gambak, Shayfak', a soft start rooted in longing and curiosity, then escalates into 'Harb, Hashish, Hafla, Hob', a tongue-in-cheek commentary on capitalist chaos and overstimulation. From there, the tone turns darker and more introspective: 'Mary Jane' confronts substance use and emotional dislocation, while 'fAKE' and 'WSH ASFAR' delve into rejection and identity crises. The closing track 'Kalam Tani' leaves listeners in suspension. There's no resolution, only the question of whether to break the cycle or fall back into it. Standouts include 'Harb, Hashish, Hafla, Hob', which pairs irony with glitchy production, and 'Mary Jane', where the euphoric high of the beat collapses into emotional fallout. Released alongside a visual for 'Kalam Tani', the EP marks a new direction for Alexis Reel, one that's both raw and conceptually layered.
