May 04, 2025
Egyptian DJ, producer and sound engineer Banna has recently joined Gawdat's DancIN' ranks with a debut EP, titled 'Daddy'.
Formerly one part of the A-Squared duo, Banna has become a trailblazing force in the region's electronic scene, sharing the stage with some of the world's biggest artists including Marco Carola, Marc Maya, Luciano, Max Chapman, Oscar De Rivera, and Frederick Stone.
His debut solo record on DancIN', 'Daddy', is a two-track batchwork of cheerful energy, lush grooves, and a whole lot of bounce. The titular, a tiny glimpse of the feel-good vibes Banna promises to bring with his solo career, blends warm organic instruments like guitar riffs and organs with raw energetic synths and restless drum lines in a dynamic tech-house tune that feels both nostalgic yet forward-thinking. Meanwhile, 'It Goes Like This' is a pure dancefloor-killer, driven by groovy, funky basslines and infectious vocal melodies, reminiscent of disco balls.

Tommyy Reimagines Hit EP ‘El Rwaya' with Galaleo in a Raw, Acoustic Session
Egyptian breakout artist Tommyy returns with a new layer of intimacy on El Rwaya (Live Version) —a stripped-back, one-take reinterpretation of his viral EP, collaborating with versatile songwriter, composer, and producer Galaleo, who accompanies him on piano. The project trades heavy production for emotional clarity, revealing the core of Tommyy's storytelling. Tommyy is giving fans exactly what they asked for—an unfiltered, acoustic retelling of his most vulnerable work to date. Dropping today, June 30, El Rwaya (Live Version) is a four-track acoustic project that sees Tommyy shedding the layered production in favor of piano, presence, and pure vocal storytelling. With Galaleo on piano, each track— 'Taree2 Egbari,' 'Emshy,' 'Etghayart,' and 'Mekamleen' —was recorded in a single take: live, raw, and emotionally charged. 'I made El Rwaya to escape,' Tommyy says. 'The acoustic version is me confronting everything I ran from.' The original EP—a blend of Arabic lyrics and deep house beats—made serious waves, garnering over 46 million streams in less than six months, and inspiring hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations. Tommyy quickly became a standout voice in the region's ever-evolving sonic identity. Now, with this stripped-down version, Tommyy invites listeners into his heartspace—no autotune, no gloss, just the essence of what made El Rwaya resonate in the first place. It's a bold move in a market oversaturated with synthetic production, and proof that storytelling and soul still cut through. El Rwaya (Live Version) drops today, Monday, June 30 at 8 PM Cairo time.
