The Ishtar Gate, the second album from Peaky Beats, is a bold and electrifying fusion of UK bass pressure and the deep-rooted musical traditions of the Arab world and ancient Mesopotamia. Named after the iconic gateway of Babylon, this ten-track Arab-Bass opus channels a hypnotic blend of deep sub-bass, syncopated breaks, and gritty low-end with haunting maqam scales, intricate darbuka rhythms, and reimagined motifs from Iraq, Syria, and beyond. From the ominous opener Spirit of Evil to the skanking sway of Tigris Riddim, each track pulses with its own identity—melding UK sound system energy with Arabic modal mysticism. Standouts like Gilgamesh and Cats of Arabia evoke mythic landscapes, while Qita and Meyhane drift into smoky, late-night territory. At the core is the title track, The Ishtar Gate—a towering, Acid-soaked anthem that bridges ancient echoes with futuristic breaks. Both a dancefloor weapon and a cultural statement, this is a sonic excavation and reinvention.

This album is dedicated to Safia Al Hassoun, my love and inspiration.

Lana Lubany - Point of No Return (Fhazal Remix)

Fhazal is a Lebanese Producer & DJ. Ferris means knight/horseman, Ghazal - poems of love/spirituality, therefore Fhazal is the knight of love, on a quest to seek the correlation between music and the stars. He fights for freedom through the force of sound. Bringing worlds together with the concept that - music is the universal language understood by all. Mixing the heavy drums and sub-bass of modern electronic tunes with the unmistakable melodies and percussion of Arabic songs, Fhazal breaks barriers by bringing forth a new genre "Arabic wave music".

Amassing thousands of listeners with tracks like, "5am in Paris", "The Olive Tree", "Assume Formlessness" & his hit remix of 'Nancy Ajram's' "Ah w Noss". Fhazal's projected trajectory is on the incline. Opening for acts such as 'Viskus', 'Bàwldy' and the afters for 'Gladez', he continues to cultivate the live circuit.

Fhazal's latest projects include his newest single "Praise the Lord" a symbolically bold Trap banger that sticks it's proverbial middle-finger up to colonial society. His latest remix "Wadda3" is a dystopian journey into the Levantines destruction, whilst 'Daboor' spits fire over the sub-throttling instrumental. 🧿
