Name: 3-VL176- Fady Aswad - Tarmac in the Rain by VL RECORDS
Duration: 3 min 40 s
Description: An ambient diary of departure and return. Between the joy of coming home and the weight of leaving again, these are the quiet hours in transit.

Minimal Effort is a collection of live hardware jams recorded over three months in 2022 at Rotunda Compound.
The tracks were made with a compact setup of analog synthesizers, drum machines, and effects. Everything was sequenced and performed live in single takes, with no editing or rearranging afterwards, only some light EQ and limiting on the master to bring the level up.

The result is a raw and unpolished snapshot of the process: hardware-driven techno played live in the room, built on improvisation, repetition, and texture, with all the imperfections left intact.

Minimal Effort (Fady's Carry, Fall, Repeat Edit)

“A Kindness” is a short ambient suite tracing the residue of memory, soft gestures, and quiet absurdities. From the scent of wet earth to a lullaby lost mid-sentence, it leaves you in a stillness that lingers.

VL Records (Vibe Lebanon Records)
Elevating Electronic Expression from Beirut to the World

Founded in 1998 as Lebanon’s pioneering internet radio imprint, Vibe Lebanon (VL) began as a small but visionary platform broadcasting across the Middle East. What started in a bedroom by three passionate music lovers soon blossomed into a movement — hosting diverse shows, championing underground soundscapes, and forging a path beyond commercial radio.

Over time, VL expanded its identity: evolving into a DJ booking and management collective, and ultimately birthing its own imprint, VL Records, a label forged from love for soulful, electronic expression.

Based in Beirut but resonant globally, VL Records is an open-hearted, genre-fluid label curating music with depth, groove, and spirit. We embrace spirited sonic explorations across deep house, nu-disco, breaks, melodic techno, and experimental rhythms — always seeking textures that feel alive and soulful.

Our mission is to discover, nurture, and amplify artists whose work transcends boundaries. We believe in music as a connective force: between cultures, between listeners, and between past and future. With each release, we aim to leave an imprint — not merely sound, but emotional resonance.

Join us on the journey. Submit demos, follow our releases, and be part of a community that honors artistry, authenticity, and the pulse of electronic life.
