Taz (b. 1999) is a Sudanese electronic music producer and audio engineer whose work draws from a broad spectrum of Sudanese sound—heard in daily life, remembered across borders, and reimagined for contemporary ears. Raised in Saudi Arabia and later living in Sudan and Jordan, Taz’s music reflects a long-standing commitment to listening closely to Sudanese culture—wherever it lives, travels, or takes root.

In 2017, Taz relocated to Port Sudan after spending most of his life in Riyadh. The move marked not just a shift in place, but a return to something deeply rooted. In Sudan, music was everywhere—in streets, buses, and corner shops—and he began collecting old recordings, sampling them into textured, emotionally resonant beats. These early works gave rise to his first musical persona, The Unknown Traveler, and a series of beat tapes shaped by both personal experience and a wider, cross-border cultural memory.

While studying audio engineering in Amman, Taz refined his sound—blending synthesis, sound design, and live performance with a deep archive of Sudanese samples. His early sets introduced a new kind of Sudanese electronic music to the city’s dancefloors: sharp, club-ready tracks that didn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, but to speak clearly and urgently to the present moment. With appearances at venues like The Village, The Cellar, and Bar Shams, he brought a sound that felt both rooted and unmistakably of now.

Taz is currently based in Port Sudan, where he is completing his debut album, The Electronic Sounds of Sudan.
