the whole biography
The fusion of western music and Arabic influence has put Beirut on the map as the epicenter of the world's greatest cities. "Mashrik", aka Michael, who is half Lebanese/Egyptian gets his inspiration from within. Mashrik, which translates to east in Arabic, is where the sun rises to the Mashriq region surrounding Egypt. He moved to the U.S in 2014 after having grown up in Beirut his entire life. Expect his sound to be unique and unorthodox, from Oud and Qanun blends with riveting house. He hopes to eclipse and leave his trademark sound across the world. Currently residing in New York City, he can be found spinning in various venues solidifying his footprint in another global city. When he started clubbing at a young age in Lebanon, people would always ask him "what drug are you on?" as they saw him dancing like crazy to some of the best tunes. His answer was always: "the music is my drug", but no one would truly believe him and were adamant that he had ingested some sort of pill. In his own words: “Music is what I enjoy the most in my life, so I decided to become a Dj and an Event producer with the goal of creating new experiences for people and sharing with them the ecstatic feeling that I get when I hear the sound of a sax, piano and oriental instruments blended into refined house beats." He's played alongside renowned artists such as Armen Miran (Hoomidas Records), Davi (Crosstown Rebels), Lemurian, Elfenberg(Stil Vor Talent), Miichii (Wayu Records), Mandrake (Mayan Warrior), Dramian (Mayan Warrior), Magician on Duty, David Hohme, just to name a few . His footprint expands to other countries, such as Canada and Mexico where he played at M.N Roy - the most exclusive private club in Mexico City. He recently started producing his own music and will be releasing some of his work in the next year. He is also the producer of a monthly event series called Kuná, which was started in January 2019 and have consistently sold out. Kuná is one of many projects related in music that Michael has started, which strengthens his foothold in the music industry.Recently at House of Yes, Circle Line Cruises, The Brooklyn Monarch · often with Nota, Budakid, Van Der Laan, none of them here that night

Nhii defines itself with borderless powerful yet emotional electronic world music. Not judging or valuing a path and the absence of any prejudices sets Nhii's energy free. This may also be rooted in the firm believe, that all beings, animals and plants, have souls just like you. Nhii wants to mirror this truth in its productions and awake awareness to dancers and listeners all over this beautiful planet. This love of truth and veneration for the seekers of truth is an important ingredient to Nhii’s daily life.Their RA profile lists Flying Circus, Kindisch Records, Stil vor Talent, Rebellion and 4 more.Recently at House of Yes, Listen Brooklyn · often with Shane One, Saqib, Horse Opera, none of them here that night
