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.

The event received an enthusiastic response from both the local culinary community and food enthusiasts, who praised the collaboration for its bold flavours, presentation, and cultural depth.'More than just a pop-up, this was a true exchange of ideas, flavour, and identity – a journey through the Middle East on a plate, and a meaningful reminder of how food connects us all,' said Chef Morgan Perrigaud. 'It was an honour to bring Alee's vision to Doha and to work alongside Chef Morgan,' added Chef Ali Ghzawi. 'Together, we created something that felt both new and deeply familiar.' The Jiwan x Alee Pop-Up reaffirmed both restaurants' shared belief that Middle Eastern cuisine is a living dialogue – one that continues to evolve while staying deeply connected to its roots.
