This solo-produced track, crafted in the heart of Beirut over an intense two-week period, is a sonic journey that blends indie dance, melodic house, and electro with the rich, evocative strains of Arabic melodies and vocals.

Nashwa is a rhythmic masterpiece, weaving driving techno beats, synthesizers, and a distinctive melodic hook that delivers an uplifting vibe.

With its strong bass-lines grooves, Nashwa is poised to awaken a moving response in listeners, inviting them to surrender to its energy.
Minaris, a German-born artist now calling Beirut home, brings a unique perspective to the electronic music scene. His musical journey began at age five with classical training in trumpet, piano, and voice, laying a foundation of discipline and depth. After nearly two decades away, he returned to music with a fierce passion for electronic sound, honing his craft at renowned institutions like Point Blank (UK) and Pervurt (Beirut). His debut releases, Taal and Beirut Ritual, introduced his knack for blending Western electronic genres with Arab and Indian elements, earning him a growing following in local and regional scenes.
Since 2018, Minaris has immersed himself in the world of electronic music production, sparked by experimentation with Ableton Live and the Roli Blocks device. His formal training between 2021 and 2025 sharpened his skills in composition, sound design, mixing, and mastering, allowing him to carve out a distinctive voice in indie dance, techno, and progressive house. Known for hypnotic grooves and emotional depth, Minaris is now taking his artistry to new heights with plans for a live show featuring the Ableton Push 3, promising dynamic performances that bring his soundscapes to life.
