The Roots takes the original STTAP Electric Swing instrumental and transforms it into a full reggae anthem.
Where the first release was purely music — playful, swinging, and groove-driven — this version carries the full story with lyrics, voice, and soul.

The track blends reggae rhythm, deep bass, and warm vocal textures with the energy of electro-swing, creating a bridge between roots and the echoes of modern sound.

It’s more than a rework — it’s the complete song, born from the music-only version and now fully alive in the STTAP style.

Electric Swing | The Roots

STTAP (Set the Tunes and Play) is the artistic project of Ahmed Mokhtar, an Egyptian Musical Artist, DJ, Producer and creative technologist, crafting layered melodic worlds where human emotion meets digital imagination.

With a deep-rooted passion for sound since the early 2000s, Ahmed began creating layered DJ edits using stems before they became standard, later studying music theory and guitar to refine his craft. Over the years, he expanded his creative exploration into the video music industry, producing trailers and short films, which honed his ear for precise music timing and taught him the art of VFX layering and dynamic scheme building based on stems—skills that now deeply inform his structured yet emotive approach to music production.

Today, under STTAP, he writes, produces, and engineers his music entirely, focusing on clean, timeless compositions built on warm hooks and emotive synth atmospheres.

STTAP’s releases are not tied to a single vocal identity but are immersive, hybrid compositions blending electronic beats, dreamy melodies, abstract vocals, and precise grooves, creating soundscapes that invite listeners to get lost while staying connected to the pulse of the track.

This is music for those who believe in setting the tone and playing, for those who want to feel the silent pulse within every layered note.

His debut singles Fades Away & Neon Ghosts is out now, with 8 new tracks arriving September 1st.
