Jordanian Producer Toumba Drops ‘VIP Edits Vol. 2'
The Amman-based producer's latest release is a heavy set of bootlegs, basslines, and edits; a raw club pack that hits differently.
Jun 02, 2025
Jordanian producer Toumba has just released 'VIP Edits Vol. 2', a new round of raw, high-impact club edits straight from the underground.
Built on instinct and rhythm, the Amman-based artist flips tracks into bass-heavy, percussion-driven tools designed for dancefloors, not playlists. These are bootlegs that don't ask for permission, just space on a loud system. The edits lean into saturated textures, warped samples, and hard-hitting grooves, pushing against the polished sound dominating electronic music today.
The project is also getting a limited-edition CD jewel box release, a nod to the tangible, DIY spirit at the core of this series.

Lege-Cy Surprises With Chill Pop Drop ‘Law Nasyany'
Known for sharp rap cuts, Lege-Cy shifts gears on 'Law Nasyany', a mellow, emotive track produced with Ismail Nosrat. Jun 03, 2025 Cairo-based rapper and songwriter Lege-Cy takes a surprising turn on his latest release 'Law Nasyany', trading his usual bars for a softer, more melodic sound. While composed, performed, and written by Lege-Cy, the track is produced by collaborator Ismail Nosrat. 'Law Nasyany' is built on chilled-out percussion, airy synths, and a stripped-back structure that leaves space for vulnerability. The production leans into minimalist pop textures, while Lege-Cy's performance taps into themes of loss and emotional detachment, pulling listeners into a soundscape that's laid-back but laced with quiet intensity. The cover art, designed by Saddam Mekky, matches the track's hazy mood. It's a standout release not just for its sonic shift, but for how effortlessly Lege-Cy adapts to the genre, proving he can occupy more than one lane.

Thawra, Ebaa Monther & Noise Diva Call Out Media Bias on ‘3antar'
The holy trinity presents a compelling satire on the media's censorship and ignorance of the war in Syria. Jun 03, 2025 Syrian trailblazing rappers Thawra and Ebaa Monther join forces on a collaborative single, titled '3antar', a subversive socio-political observation of the media echo chamber, specifically criticising its handling of the war in Syria. The track's production is helmed by Amsterdam-based Syrian DJ and sound designer Noise Diva, who crafts a dark, hypnotic blend of trap and raw noise textures bubbling with tension and low intensity, subtly accented by Middle Eastern percussion here and there. On the track, Thawra and Ebaa fire back against censorship, exchanging sharp satirical verses packed with double entendres, through which both rappers paint a vivid imagery of an arrogant, passive male figure called '3antar', deliberately choosing to ignore the ugly reality of systemic destruction and ethnic cleansing.

Rise of Fearless builds gaming community of 2,500+ players united by African heritage and battle royale action
June 3, 2025, Dubai, UAE – Rise of Fearlesss , a UAE-based mobile gaming platform that merges African storytelling with immersive battle royale gameplay, is gaining traction as it surpasses 2,500+ registered players and builds strategic partnerships across Africa's gaming ecosystem. The game draws inspiration from Ethiopia's historic victory at the Battle of Adwa, and the cultural and historical elements of the game strike a chord with the gaming community. Since launching in April 2025, Rise of Fearless has not only attracted attention from players, but also from major stakeholders in the gaming industry. Recently, Rise of Fearless participated in Afro Geek Fest in South Africa where the game was presented to a broader audience of industry professionals. The Rise of Fearless community has been growing steadily through organic collaboration across the continent's gaming ecosystem. Volunteer African developers from the community have joined forces with the Rise of Fearless team to improve the game's visuals and gameplay, while gaming content creators – including established YouTubers and Nubianimation TV – feature the game on their channels. This collaborative approach extends to the player community where feedback is welcomed and helps build the movement. 'Players are not just downloading the game – they're actively sharing their experiences, helping enhance it, and building a whole new community for African gaming,' said Kanessa Muluneh, founder of Rise of Fearless. 'We're seeing genuine excitement about being part of a game that reflects African heritage and history.' Recent improvements based on real-time feedback from the community and players include enhanced character movement and responsiveness, as well as improved connectivity. With matches lasting between 10-20 minutes, Rise of Fearless offers non-stop action that sets it apart from typical battle royale games. The platform has also started hosting 'Play Hour' events where players log in at the same time to improve matchmaking. The next update of Rise of Fearless will include several new features in addition to enhanced character animation and visual quality. The upcoming Web3 integration will add another level to the player experience. The move to blockchain means that players will have true digital ownership of their in-game items. This digital ownership model will provide African gamers with new and valuable opportunities, especially in parts of Africa where traditional banking is limited.
