Slumber's Song

a melancholic pulse drifting through digital silence — a sonic diary of disconnect, longing, and unspoken words left behind.
With atmospheric layers and haunting vocals, STTAP captures the moment love turns to static, and presence becomes memory.

Fades Away

Buy Now

a late-night transmission through fluorescent memories and haunted glances — a synth-soaked dream where echoes of past connections flicker like city lights in the rain.
STTAP blends shadowy beats and vaporwave textures to narrate what lingers after we fade from each other’s lives, but not from each other’s minds.

Neon Ghosts

That feeling of knowing your person is out there somewhere but you haven't found them yet.

Cosmic Yearning

“Lost Signal (Midnight Version)” takes the original’s pulse of longing and transforms it into a darker, late-night journey. With deeper synth textures, echoing vocals, and a hypnotic groove, this version feels like the same story told under flickering neon at 2 AM. It’s a shadowed reflection of the original—more intimate, more haunting, and built for those midnight hours where every echo lingers longer.

Lost Signal (Midnight Version V2)

When the world sleeps, memories speak the loudest.
“Midnight Echoes” dives deep into the emotional silence of late hours — where voices from the past return in fragments, and digital ghosts hum softly beneath the beat. A haunting blend of cinematic synths, distant vocals, and intimate melodies, this track is a late-night confession to no one… and everyone.

Midnight Echoes

Some nights hit harder than caffeine and silence combined.
“Midnight Rush” is the sound of chasing clarity through neon haze — a collision of thoughts, pulses, and unanswered calls at 2AM. With glitchy beats, whispered hooks, and late-night confessions wrapped in analog warmth, this track rides the edge between escape and reflection.

Midnight Rush

In a world of constant pings and echoes, “Silent Notification” tells a story of two souls speaking through the static — a conversation between man and woman, stitched in rhythm and digital yearning.
No sound, just the pulse. No words, just the read receipt.

This is modern love — waiting, seen-zoned, and echoing through glass screens.
Glitched hearts and muted feelings, delivered with a melodic whisper.

Silent Notification

Arson

Missing people from the past who defined who I am today. They'll probably never hear this song, but you can!

Hey.

I feel a little silly for letting my heart break again

I'm Not So Clever

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 New Album TALE' LEFOUQ to be released in Dec 2025
