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.

Barefoot on Warm Asphalt, Thinking of You

“Sorrow Softly Fading” is a poetic ballad that explores the evolving nature of love—how it breaks, transforms, and ultimately persists. Carried by metaphors of rivers, fire, flowers, and song, the lyrics trace a journey through grief and memory toward quiet resilience. This track blends folk-influenced acoustic warmth with soulful, reflective vocals, evoking the intimacy of an old journal entry set to melody.

A meditation on loss, change, and enduring affection, the song reminds us that even as sorrow lingers, love reshapes itself—growing gardens from grief, melodies from memories. The kind of song that sits beside you in silence and whispers hope.

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.
