ALIASES: Technophile, Le Merle

Nabih Esta exploded onto Beirut’s burgeoning clubbing scene as the generation-defining Nesta back in 2006. Whether at massive stadium events or more intimate club gatherings, it was hard not to catch one of his versatile and eclectic sets wrapping up or warming up for the biggest names in the industry.
In the decade since, Nesta further cemented himself as part of the taste-makers in Beirut’s clubbing scene. After heading to London to hone his sound engineering skills, Nesta devised his Techno-drenched alter ego, Technophile. Technophile brought out the twisted, melancholic side of Nesta’s music allowing him to delve into more experimental frequencies in the spectrum while maintaining the momentum of the Nesta alias.
In 2014, Nesta founded his Beirut-based label Fantôme de Nuit (FDN) and devoted himself to producing massive tracks infused with elements from his Lebanese heritage and musically-gifted family and entourage that led to the creation of Nesta & Silky Raven landing an EP on Damian Lazarus's label Rebellion. FDN today includes an impressive ever-growing roster of talent from both Beirut and beyond. As of 2016, several vinyl and digital EPs and albums have been released, with many more in store for 2017. With that, Nesta has helped transform Beirut from a city that appreciates and consumes good music, to a city churning out tracks and live sets that are making knees buckle and goosebumps rise across Europe and the Middle East.
Nesta has also remixed local heroes Mashrou3 Leila and Who Killed Bruce Lee.
Apart from releasing massive bangers and sophisticated productions, FDN hosts regular showcases and private parties that bring together Beirut’s most seasoned musical palates, promoters and club runners. These parties have helped propel rising local talents, ensuring promising new artists get the recognition and direction they need to grow Lebanon’s clubbing culture even further with every weekend.
His fruitful time in the studio hasn’t kept him from a busy touring schedule though. He is one of the founders of uberhaus/The Garten and resident DJ and right now He holds a residency at Beirut’s biggest clubs : AHM & The Grand Factory. Apart from that, he is regularly featured on the lineups of top-notch clubs such as Morocco, Pacha or Atlantida in Barcelona, KaterBlau and Sisyphos in Berlin, Cuckoo club and The Box in London, Europa Sunrise in Lisbon as well as renowned festivals like Sonar in Barcelona, ADE in Amsterdam or SXM in St Maarten.
Nesta, Technophile and Fantôme de Nuit combine to create a versatile spectrum of music that stays true to its House beginnings, continuously evolves its inclination to Techno and refuses to abide by one genre or style. This unique blend of talent and style has been perfect for today’s world where genres are hard to define and music lovers expect new elements and refreshing takes on time-honored genres they grew up listening to and loving. His long awaited album entitled “Eclectic Electric” will showcase 16 original tracks divided into two CDs and is scheduled to be released on his own imprint in June 2018.

Marko Adulo is a Belgrade born, London based producer and DJ. Influenced by Cologne, Detroit and Bristol, his music may be machine-made but between the circuit boards it's all about the soul and the funk.

His fascination with the merging of the music world with the machine world was born listening to early UK Electronica. This inspired him to learn more about the production techniques and pursue a course in Sound Engineering. On completing the programme, he had a few engineering stints in different corners of London's audio industry. Very soon it became obvious that music is and has always been his real passion.

Writing his own music started as a vehicle for bringing together his love for the musical and the technological. Due to his eclectic sensibility he likes exploring different styles, while keeping the mood deep and hypnotic. His tunes bear all the signature elements of a functional genre, but that's deceptive. They are meant for the dance floor as a place for exploring, as much as dancing. Underneath the cold tech aesthetic, they strive to engage the mind and the heart as much as the feet.

Hailing from the mountains overlooking the Eastern Mediterranean, 3LIAS slowly followed a deep, dark groove all the way down to the coast. More specifically the old city quarantine of Beirut. There he was swallowed up by the iconic B 018's retractable rooftop and became its resident decknician in 2006 after helping create Lebanon's underground scene through the lates 90s and early 2000s.

Today, almost a decade into his residency at B 018, 3LIAS has transformed it into a subterranean factory of silky synths drenched in melancholic, rolling grooves and deep, dark-driven beats that entrance the mind and move the feet till the early hours of the morning.

When not touring the region or orchestrating his weekly B 018 nights, 3LIAS, Jimmy Van M and Luxor T have been churning out beautifully reimagined remixes for artists like Karada and Pedro Mercado's "Tale of You". Their originals "DA Goom" have also been released on labels like Dave Seaman's Selador Recordings, and a remix on Solee's Parquet Recordings, with several more set for release in the coming year.

3LIAS collaborates regularly with talents from around the world, as well as unprecedented endeavors with fellow Lebanese musicians of all sorts and genres. Together, 3LIAS has the perfect combination helping redefine the art of making Beirut's human beings (and more and more people from around the world), dance well into the night.

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.
