TUNE IN!

Nightclubs might still be closed but there’s no shortage of great music being produced locally. Here are four great tracks to wrap your ears around

01 AELI X SEKI SUPERVILLAIN

Cry Me A Valley (Various platforms)

Former Dubai resident, producer and DJ, Aeli might have upped sticks to LA but he’s embarked on a series of tracks featuring his favourite artists from the Middle East. While Aeli is famed for seamlessly lacing hip-hop and electronic music with traces of traditional North African sounds, he ventures into Afrobeat territory here, with Dubai-based rapper Seki crafting a message about toxic relationships, manipulation and crocodile tears over low-swinging sensual beats and an infectious hook. Find it on YouTube, Soundcloud, Anghami, Apple Music and Aeli’s social channels.
