Visionary 21-year-old artist Imad has dropped an impressive piece of deep house that combines modern influences with that of his Middle Eastern and African heritage. “The past year living in Lebanon has been extremely tough, with constant blackouts, wifi crashes, fuel crisis, economic collapse, it was very challenging to keep productive and be inspired,” says Imad. ‘Makan’ is built on a completely unique soundscape that gives you the expected four-to-the-floor rhythms and hooks of dance music, merged with some seriously impressive and juxtaposing musical ideas. Take a listen to the rest of Imad’s work and get ready for more. -Dan Peeke
