SCENENOISE X CJC610 TO HOST 'ALL DAY' NOISESESSIONS APRIL 11TH
SCENENOISE X CJC610 TO HOST 'ALL DAY' NOISESESSIONS APRIL 11TH The first big post-Eid Cairo party is here – SceneNoise x Cairo Jazz Club 610 present #NoiseSessions at CJC 610 with a 12-hour day-to-night bash. The lineup brings together regional headliners Retro Cassetta, Disco Arabesquo, and Cheb Runner, with local giant El Waili closing out the festivities, plus a host of Cairo's finest in support. It all kicks off Friday, April 11th at 2 PM on the outdoor terrace and rolls straight through till 3 AM in the club – a perfect comeback for Cairo's nightlife season. During the day, expect sunshine grooves and a BBQ grill fired up with a generous happy hour with 50% off on burgers, beer and wine till 7 PM. Come early to soak up the sun before the nighttime mischief begins. Starting off on the terrace at 2 PM, Armaal's Khalil will set a lush atmosphere with house-inspired grooves before Reham Mansour takes over, layering her soulful and minimal set. The increasingly tolerable Horrible DJs will then bring their eccentric act to the decks. Closing off the terrace, Moroccan headlining crate-digger extraordinaire Retro Cassetta takes over, armed with a treasure trove of Maghrebian cassette gems. He's made a name reviving vintage chaâbi, raï, and gnawa tapes and splicing them into funky, genre-blurring club sets that celebrate North African musical heritage while keeping the dancefloor on its toes. Then we'll make our way into the club where Moroccan maverick Cheb Runner will bring his fusion of traditional North African sounds and punchy house and techno cuts. Local favorite Moenes will be up next with his trademark upbeat blend of disco and house influenced by late-'80s grooves, followed by Disco Arabesquo, dialing up the nostalgia with his signature Arabic disco and cassette-era pop edits. The Amsterdam-based DJ has built a cult following by turning '90s and 2000s Middle Eastern hits into dancefloor gold. El Waili takes the reins for the closing set. The Cairo-born producer is a local electronic giant, known for mashing up electro-chaabi, trap, and MENA pop into a futuristic sound all his own. He'll be dropping trippy melodies, heavy basslines, and nostalgic shaabi samples until the very end, ensuring this marathon night finishes on an explosive high note. Reserve your spot
