Since launching his career with Touffar’s As7ab El Ard in 2009, he has become one of the most commanding voices in Arabic rap, blending uncompromising lyrics with raw energy that turns every show into a collective experience.

His performances are intense, urgent, and unforgettable. transforming audiences into communities bound by rhythm, resistance, and release.
In 2025, he released Limbo, a groundbreaking album that captures the turbulence of the present and the weight of a haunted past, created with forward-thinking producers from the region and beyond. The album’s release tour marked one of the year’s biggest independent rap movements, cementing his place as a cultural force who thrives on collaboration, innovation, and impact.
Beyond music, Bu Nasser is also an acclaimed novelist, with two published works that have reached international literary exhibitions, expanding his reputation as an artist whose words hold weight on page and stage alike.

Recent guest appearances include New York’s Beats In Space, London’s Rinse FM, NTS Radio and BBC 6 Music. He recently held a residency at BBC Radio 1.

GIDEÖN has been involved in political activism his entire life and is now increasingly focussed on organising hybrid cultural-political events partnering music and protest, often under the banner of R3 Soundsystem. Together with charities Love Music Hate Racism & Stand Up To Racism, GIDEÖN has organised major sound system interventions on many of the Stop Brexit and Stop Trump and Anti-Fascism protests. He is actively involved with fundraising for several LGBTQ+, human rights and social justice organisations including AllOut, Medical Aid For Palestinians, Prepster, Human Dignity Trust and Refugee Community Kitchen. GIDEÖN sits on the advisory committee for The Right to Dance, part of War Child’s NGO Network.

R3 Soundsystem is a consortium of DJs, musicians, producers, record labels, festivals, nightclubs, sound systems, activists, and cultural organisations, all united by love of music and the rejection of right-wing nationalist values. R3’s three Rs stand for RESIST/REJECT/REVOLT.

GIDEÖN’s House Music label HOMO-CENTRIC RECORDS launched to showcase both his solo productions and collaborations with close queer comrades. The label focusses on the LGBTQ+ heritage of House and attempts to pay homage to its lost heroes. Its manifesto states the intent to re-establish the lines of queer musical tradition at the heart of House, lost to AIDS and the capitalist desecration of dance music itself.

PERPETUAL EP is Co-Produced by STAC & Memotone	
Released on 28th April 2017	
2 Points Records	

I love it! - Gilles Peterson (6 Music) 
The EP is B E A U T I F U L - MYYY GOODNESS - Julie Adenuga (Beats 1) 
This is beautiful. All tracks are so good - Nick Luscombe (Radio 3)  

Having released her debut album on WahWah45s in 2010, 2017 sees STAC write, record, co-produce and self release her follow up EP. Perpetual delivers timeless, compelling songwriting and combines achingly beautiful melodies with Badu-esq cool. Compared by Mark Ronson to a young Minnie Ripperton, in a world saturated by the ‘Indie Girl’ vocal, her voice cuts effortlessly through.
