LineØrCircle has been behind the decks since he was barely toilet-trained, when he rifled through his parents’ vast and eclectic record collection and started experimenting with the controls on their old walnut-veneered record player. He grew up in a profoundly musical household, his parents being professional musicians who put him into classical piano and jazz guitar lessons from the moment he had enough motor control in his hands to hold a guitar pick.

He is nonetheless a completely self-taught DJ, buying all the necessary gear with money saved up from a part-time job as a dishwasher and learning by bringing a new piece of musical technology home, plugging it in, and pushing all the buttons until something happened. The first record he bought was a now-out-of-print EP of Anouar Brahem, Les pats du chat noir which includes “Leila au pays du carrousel”.

He began playing in local bars and clubs in his hometown of Beirut, getting his first break when the DJ called in sick at a local pub where he washed dishes. He soon blew up in Beirut and began playing in Decks On the Beach. He has since enjoyed immense success, blowing up dance floors across the globe (OK, OK, mostly around Venues in Beirut) to sold-out crowds. He has shared the decks with the likes of Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Kiasmos, Gorje Hewek & Izhevski to name a few.

He is also a prolific and respected producer, having released two albums and 10 EPs since he got up this morning. His most recent mega-hit track has been charted by every single fucking DJ listed on Resident Advisor and Discogs combined, with support from all the leading DJs signed to any label that ever mattered—plus his grandma.

LineOrCircle musical genres reflects his eclectic influences—from high-modernist integral serialism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian epic poetry to oriental—all distilled down to pure, crystalline minimal techno. He’s not limited to minimal techno, instead combining disco, slow house, Ketapop, electronic and deep house to create a new sound that the entire staff of Pitchfork has been trying to name for the last year (the senior what-is-this-electronica-crap editor suggested “jigglestep” and then resigned in shame).

Recently, this guy has been collaborating with artists and producers to create “Living Room Sessions” - Beirut. A concept where the crowd can get intimate with the producers, inviting artists to play live and not mix on decks. He has been all over Europe and the MENA Region searching for new talents to boost this concept. LineOrCircle is now a sound explorer, a frequency designer and noise maker...

Music For Balearic People - Estival Solstice

It's been a while since I haven't done a remix. 
When Madraas approached me for working on something for his label, I chose this track because I had another vision for it. 
I hope you enjoy it.

Music for Balearic People

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” Khalil Gibran

-OUT NOW -
LØC : LineOrCircle has been behind the decks since he was barely toilet-trained, when he rified through his parents’ vast and eclectic record collection.
Warm melancholic sounds and beautif ul melodies is a charasteric of his sound.

With releases on All Day I Dream, Sag & Tre, Rituel Recordings his music is well supported.

For this release on Akbal Music he delivers two original tracks with dreamy string chords and soft pianos to deliver some nice grooves.

LØC collaborates with Gabrielle Polina for the second single of the EP called Table Mountain.

The release comes with great remixes by Hermanez and Emotional Tourist who bring the original tracks to another level.

Amazing record to finish the year on Akbal Music.

PREMIERE: LØC - Ours [Akbal Music]

"Six O' Seven" (6:07) -  is the exact time when the world witnessed a devastating explosion in Beirut last year, which impacted many lives until this day. Music, as we all know, is of ultimate importance to the mental health and wellbeing of our communities, in this spirit, Music For Balearic People will donate 100% of proceeds raised by this compilation to help artists in Beirut who lost their studios, instruments, computers, and basically everything that allowed them to create and to impact their community in a positive way. 

Please support by purchasing the album and spreading the word.

* Music For Balearic People would like to thank all the artists involved, our master engineer and everyone who is helping us to support this cause.
