Minimal Effort is a collection of live hardware jams recorded over a three-month
period in 2022 at Rotunda Compound.
The tracks were built using a compact setup of analog synthesizers, drum
machines, and effects. Everything was sequenced and performed live in single
takes, with no editing or arrangement after the fact—just light EQ and limiting on
the master to bring the level up.
The result is a direct and unpolished snapshot of process: hardware-driven techno
built live in the room, focused on improvisation, repetition, and texture—with all
imperfections left intact.

VL Records (Vibe Lebanon Records)
Elevating Electronic Expression from Beirut to the World

Founded in 1998 as Lebanon’s pioneering internet radio imprint, Vibe Lebanon (VL) began as a small but visionary platform broadcasting across the Middle East. What started in a bedroom by three passionate music lovers soon blossomed into a movement — hosting diverse shows, championing underground soundscapes, and forging a path beyond commercial radio.

Over time, VL expanded its identity: evolving into a DJ booking and management collective, and ultimately birthing its own imprint, VL Records, a label forged from love for soulful, electronic expression.

Based in Beirut but resonant globally, VL Records is an open-hearted, genre-fluid label curating music with depth, groove, and spirit. We embrace spirited sonic explorations across deep house, nu-disco, breaks, melodic techno, and experimental rhythms — always seeking textures that feel alive and soulful.

Our mission is to discover, nurture, and amplify artists whose work transcends boundaries. We believe in music as a connective force: between cultures, between listeners, and between past and future. With each release, we aim to leave an imprint — not merely sound, but emotional resonance.

Join us on the journey. Submit demos, follow our releases, and be part of a community that honors artistry, authenticity, and the pulse of electronic life.

[bio]:
Cheh is Abdalla Chahine, a musician and event creative local in Lithuania, Lebanon and the UAE. He has spent most of his youth and early adulthood working closely with artists, venues, festivals and as a result putting together a wide variety of events with a multitude of forms of art expression. Cheh's musical performances are characterised by versatility, hypnotic rhythms and constant evolution; those of which have given him access to stages across nations playing alongside renowned artists like Carl Craig, Oshana, Anthea, Sebastian Mullaert, Laurine Frost, Traumer, Nastia and Birdsmakingmachine and many more.
Even though his disc-jockeying career is more vivid than his discography, Cheh has released music on a few remarkable labels digitally and some on vinyl under the duo alias Sache and Sache.
