Thawra Records is proud to present the Beirut Remixed VA album featuring the quintessential artists that have shaped Beirut's musical landscape over the last decade.
An ode to the golden years of post-war indie local music and the emerging electronic underground, the album includes remixes of five of Lebanon's most iconic bands of the last 10 years, including pioneering indie outfit 'Mashrou' Leila', 'Adonis', 'Lumi', 'The Bunny Tylers', and 'Who Killed Bruce Lee' - all prominent symbols of the Lebanese underground in their own rite - reworked by three notorious Lebanese producers, including dance music Juggernaut 'Jade', Red Bull Music Academy Alumni 'Etyen', and veteran Electronic artist 'Jad Taleb'.
From Jade's contributions that have become local anthems to the Lebanese dance and nightlife scene, to Etyen and Jad Taleb's unique and notable interpretations, the release is a true epochal celebration of music and collaboration, community, nightlife, friendship, and the city where it all happened.
In the aftermath of the tragedy that hit Beirut on August 4th of this year, killing hundreds and affecting thousands of our brothers and sisters, we dedicate this album to the Lebanese people, and take this moment to remember and cherish the vibrant musical underground of our beloved Beirut, a community that rose against all odds, and provided a safe haven for creatives and free thinkers while bringing joy, music and dance to many throughout the years.
