What to expect when one of the most eclectic and prolific producers of the Lebanese underground scene steps behind the decks?

On June 21, for the Fête de la Musique at the SUBS in Lyon, Zeid Hamdan presents a DJ set that moves through the many musical territories that have shaped his journey as a producer and musician. A pioneering figure of Lebanon’s independent music scene, he has spent more than two decades exploring a remarkably wide spectrum of sounds — from trip-hop to alternative Arabic rock, from experimental electronics to pop textures and reimagined Middle Eastern grooves.

This DJ set is a natural extension of that trajectory: a free-flowing journey through the sounds that have influenced his productions and those that continue to inspire his work today. Between rare tracks, electronic rhythms, unexpected influences, fragments from the Middle East and remixes of classics from Arabic music, the selection unfolds like a story in motion.

More than just a DJ set, it is an immersion into the musical imagination of a producer who has never stopped blurring the boundaries between genres, scenes and cultures.

Zeid Hamdan is a Lebanese music producer who was named one of eight leading lights in Lebanese culture by CNN. He has collaborated with many prominent artists and bands, including Soap Kills, The New Government, Katibe5, Shiftz, Hiba Mansouri, Kanjha Kora, Kazamada, Maryam Saleh, Maii Waleed, Dany Baladi, and his own project Zeid and the Wings.

More recently, he has collaborated with Marie Abou Khaled, Tanjaret Daghet, Muhammad Abdullah from El Morabba3, and Lynn Adib.

In 2019, Hamdan produced the score for the Oscar-nominated film Capernaum directed by Nadine Labaki. In 2020, he also produced music for “The CUBE Session” on Balkoon Channel.
