For the 29th edition of Fantôme de Nuit podcast series, we proudly present Ralph Nasr.

Beirut-based DJ & curator, Ralph Nasr has been crafting his signature sound for 10 years now, digging house gems, disco bangers and minimal grooves, always making sure passion comes first.
Having held residencies at the city's finest clubs, such as The Garten, B018 and The Ballroom Blitz, he’s been known for his rich sets and contagious energy, playing alongside artists like Peggy Gou, Shonky, Dam Swindle, Archie Hamilton, Nastia and many others.

On his daytime duty he wears a different hat and runs the retrogroove collective, organizing parties all around the region with a dedicated team of creatives promoting cultural expression through dance parties and visual arts. He’s currently hopping from one city to another showcasing in Paris, Madrid, Istanbul, Dubai & Cairo.

If you don’t see Ralph wearing his white coat anymore, it’s because he found out chemistry can be created on the dancefloors just as much as in the lab. So if you bump into him scribbling notes and designing a space, make sure to ask him this: “How can I throw the perfect party?”

B1. Thomas A.S. -  North Lake (Nick Devon Remix) Snippet // OUT on Vinyl // 27.04.15 Digital

3. Rolbac, Mak - Evon (128 Kbps Snippet)

Label boss Technophile steps up to give the A side his signature treatment. He chooses to bulk the track up with a weighty, pounding bass line and strips back the original’s elaborate percussion in favour of complex glitches and bleeps. The remix has a heavier feel, as Technophile swaps the spacey pads out for shades of acid and robotic rhythms. This one is for the darkest hours of night and will surely be heard on the scene’s biggest dance floors.

for the 11th installment of Fantôme de Nuit Podcast series, we proudly present Three Machines.

According to your favorite dictionary, Synergy is the creation of a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts. It also happens to be the beating heart behind Three Machines, a passion project that brings together Tarek Majdalani and Sleiman Damien, two of the most celebrated producers and DJs in the Middle East.

One is a veteran of sorts, a driving force that has pioneered the rise of Beirut’s pulsating nightlife and music industry, leaving his mark on the airwaves and on the dance floors, playing the biggest venues in the region and sharing the stage with numerous international acts.

The other is a product of scientific malpractice and classified government mischief, with more major credits and events under his belt than should be allowed by state law for someone who has only recently reached voting age.

The unlikely twosome got together under otherwise normal conditions, through business arrangements and mutual acquaintances. In hindsight, it is absolutely safe to say that the first meeting only happened because the universe got bored with itself and a nuclear disaster seemed like overkill at the time.

Together, they relentlessly churn out intricate systems of sounds that would feel right at home in obscure basements, majestic cathedrals and colossal open spaces alike.

Their music is a soundtrack to the cosmos, an ode to the infinitely small, a celebration of the infinitely big, a study of human nature and all of its complex, beautiful imperfections. Most importantly, it does not conform to any pre-defined genre classification.

Classically trained but forward-thinking, enlightened but progressive, the two gears that keep Three Machines running vow to use and abuse the medium, then move on to its hot cousin

For the installment of the label's second Various Artists, we present to you 5 tracks that will keep you warm this winter!

Technophile, Rolbac feat. Lucien - Shamash

For the next EP from small but well formed label Fantôme de Nuit, the boss himself steps up with four great tracks produced in cahoots with friend Rolbac. The package also comes with a remix from veteran US producers Dance Spirit and is a super release as a result. 

Technophile and Rolbac are two young DJs and producers hailing from Beirut. They have worked together before now to great acclaim, while the former is also a solo artist as Nesta and resident DJ & partner in the mighty Uberhaus/The Garten club in Beirut. Rolbac also works on labels like Einmusika Recordings and Cohesive, and when the pair come together they cook up nocturnal tech house with a mysterious air that makes it all the more intriguing. 

Opening up the account with excellence is ‘Pandora’s Box’, a supple tech house tune that is filled with neon chords and sombre synths and driven by warm gusts of bass and slick drums. ‘Melqart’ is just as rooted in the edge of the galaxy with its cosmic feel, kinked drums and space ship like sounds. They are smooth and synthetic but full of electronic funk, while ‘Lunar Station’ keeps up the futuristic and sci-fi vibes with its freaky acid line and widescreen tech grooves. 

Showing a different side that is just as interesting, ‘Cosmic Frog’ is a slower jaunt through the cosmos with churning drums and technoid synth lines. Breathy female vocal sounds add an all important something that will ensure this one really stands out, and Superfreq and Rebellion duo Dance Spirit then round things out with a top version of ‘Melqart.’ The Americans layer in spine tingling melodies and perfectly reduced minimal beats, clicks and machine-made sounds, and in doing so conjure up a delightful late night cut for cosy back rooms or freaky after parties everywhere. 

Fans of electronic music that looks to the future but retains a real sense of soul need look no further for their next kick than this one.

Eclectic Electric - Daylight is the second half of Nesta’s latest album project. The Lebanon based artist this time turns his attention to the Daylight theme and again excels across eight masterfully organic tracks.

A third remix album will follow this one, and they all come after years building a fan base thanks to his work both as Nesta and Technophile and the development of his own label, Fantôme de Nuit. This hard to define artist was a part of the renowned club, The Garten, holds a residency at The Grand Factory and always mixes up experimental frequencies and fine engineering skills to craft expressive music that takes in a wide world of influences from house to jazz, disco to synth.
This is a listening album right from the off: opener ‘Heaven Meets Paradise’ is a beautifully deep instrumental with live drums and dreamy melodies that will sooth your soul, then ‘Horace’s Groove’ is a perfect mix of beatdown house and lounging jazz vibes, ‘Jamal’s Jazz’ lays piano tinkles and off grid drum fills, hits and snares over a heavyweight, slowed down groove and ‘Lady J’ brings back beautiful melodies and cosmic chords with more fantastic live drums.
This most mellifluous album rolls on with ‘Piece of Mind’ featuring Alko B, whose soothing vocals add soul to the jazzy broken beats, trumpets and melodic bass. ‘Dance With Me’ is a gorgeous house cut with real musicality, funky sax and romantic late night feelings, the mood becomes more dance floor focused with the rubbery bass and glowing chords of deep house classic ‘Lullabies’ and the uplifting ‘Hold Me’ is a disco re-rub that is heartfelt and rousing. This is a superb standalone LP of rich, jazzy house and broken beat, as well as a perfect accompaniment to the first already well received half of the album.

Lumi’s fantastic last album The Night Was A Liar gets remixed in real style by the likes of
skinnerbox, Al Rajul Al Hadidi, Rolbac and HEAR on the next excellent Fantôme de Nuit release.
Lumi hail from Beirut in Lebanon and are well respected for their krautrock and electro releases.
Their album, made in Montreal and released earlier in the year, was a real classic and now gets
reinterpreted in fine fashion by this classy selection of names.
First up are skinnerbox, the German duo known for their improvised live music on labels like
BPitch Control and Turbo. Their version of ‘From A Dream’ is an enthralling analogue trip into
psyched-out acid and kraut, featuring haunting pads and spooky synths that create a brilliantly
unusual vibe.
Caoutchou Recordings’ mysterious Al Rajul Al Hadidi is a one-man project who mixes up
samples from bygone eras with a sense of ethereal nostalgia. And that defines his intoxicating
remix of ‘Spring’, which is thoughtful and far sighted, featuring mid-tempo drums overlaid with a
sea of retro synth and optimistic melodies.
Next up is Lebanon’s Rolbac, a key player on his local scene and someone whose four-four
sounds are infused with exotic motifs and transfixing synths. He flips ‘Raised in Fire’ into
something fantastically left-of-centre, with bendy synths and elastic bass making you move as
twinkling keys rain down from above.
Last but not least, Canadian HEAR is as unpredictable as they come. He has fronted bands with
Hakim Murphy, played key festivals like MUTEK and clubs like Watergate, and also runs the
Naissance Musik label. His Dirty Jiggling mix of ‘Raised in Fire’ has lumpy drums and percolating
bass that keep you off balance and are run through with suspensory synths. It’s an inventively
rhythmic affair that brings plenty of freshness to the track.
