Hisham and Darb Release Heavy Split EP ‘MOSHGHBA' via MOSHTRQ
Jun 12, 2025
Cairo-based producers Hisham and Darb have teamed up for a new split EP titled 'MOSHGHBA', released via MOSHTRQ. The project blends elements of bass music, Arabic hip-hop, and experimental club sounds into a dark and intense four-track release.
Inspired by a restless night in Mit 'Okba, the EP tells a story through sound, from quiet tension to full-blown chaos. Hard drums, layered textures, and distorted rhythms carry the energy of a city on edge. The release also includes bonus tracks and unreleased material from both artists.
Darb, based in Madrid, focuses on reshaping Egyptian sounds with heavy bass. Hisham brings a multidisciplinary approach, combining music with visuals and fashion to build a distinct sonic identity. MOSHTRQ · EP01: Hisham x Darb - MOSHGHBA

Egypt's Al Camileon & Kangaroo Make Fashion Personal This Summer
Al Camileon asks you to make their newest collection completely your own. Aug 03, 2025 To celebrate the launch of their new denim collection, Egyptian label Al Camileon is collaborating with Egyptian design studio Kangaroo to host (no, not a zoo) a customisation workshop on the former's very collection. 'At Al Camileon, we put emphasis on the exclusivity of our garments,' founder Zeyad El Ghorab tells Scene Styled, 'This workshop with Kangaroo enables the creation of Al Camileon clothing that is 100% exclusive, because it's hand-stitched with each person's personal stamp.' At the workshop, people are invited to stamp, mark, and alter their new Al Camileon denim pieces, making them truly their own. 'The whole point of Kangaroo as a creative studio and experimental lab is to give people who aren't usually creative the chance to get their hands dirty,' tells us Naila Marei, the founder of Kangaroo, 'We believe that every single person benefits from tapping into their creativity. It's like an art class for people who aren't kids anymore.' In that sense, the collaboration between Al Camileon and Kangaroo gives customers a chance to truly meditate on their Al Camileon pieces, rather than just clicking 'Add to cart' and really forgetting about them. This workshop invites slow consumption, thoughtfulness and the chance to really truly spend enough time with a garment to fall in love with it. 'Kangaroo has their own original imprint on things,' continues El Ghorab, they have authentic taste. I just felt like both design houses - which are by nature very different - coming together could create something entirely novel.'

Egyptian Journalist Mohamed Abdel Galil Joins Golden Globe Voting Committee
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has unveiled the updated list of international voting members for the 83rd edition of the Golden Globe Awards, set to take place on January 11, 2026, in Los Angeles. Among this year's newly appointed members is Egyptian journalist and film critic Mohamed Abdel Galil. Abdel Galil joins an international panel of approximately 390 journalists and critics representing nearly 90 countries. Other members from the Arab world include Mohamed Hashem Abdel Salam, Hossam Fahmy, Moataz Keirat, Wael Khairy, and Rami Nawar from Egypt; Chafic Tabbara from Lebanon; Balqees Al-Ansari from Saudi Arabia; and Irfan Rashid and Raffi Boghossian from Iraq. Currently serving as Senior Producer at Asharq News, part of the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), Abdel Galil also contributes to Asharq Bloomberg, where he provides analytical coverage on the entertainment economy — including film, music, and digital streaming platforms. With over two decades of experience, Abdel Galil has worked across leading Arabic media outlets including Al-Qahira, Al-Ghad, Al-Wafd, and Al-Watan (where he headed the Arts & Culture desk for over four years). His contributions have extended to Kalam El-Nas (Lebanon), Al-Qabas (Kuwait), Al-Roeya (UAE), as well as television networks such as Dream TV, Al Mehwar, Rotana, dmc, and Al-Ghad TV. He has also covered major international film festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Malmö, Cairo, Red Sea, Amman, and El Gouna. Commenting on his selection, Abdel Galil expressed pride in joining the Golden Globe voting committee, describing the role as both a responsibility and an opportunity: 'I consider this nomination a chance to represent the Arab perspective in evaluating global cinematic and television productions — showcasing the richness of diverse tastes and cultural backgrounds.' His appointment aligns with HFPA's broader efforts to promote inclusivity, cultural diversity, and transparency in the voting process. Established in 1944, the Golden Globe Awards remain among the most prestigious honors in film and television. Presented annually by the HFPA, the awards serve as a key indicator during the international awards season and are widely regarded as a prelude to the Academy Awards. Abdel Galil's inclusion marks another milestone for Arab representation on the global entertainment stage and highlights the growing influence of regional voices in shaping international narratives in film and television.
