Ziad Nawfal Mix for Stegi Radio with guest FATEN KANAAN // 02 December 2025

January 3, 2026January 1, 2026Music ShowsLeave a Comment

A monthly selection of alternative, ambient and experimental music from Lebanon and the MENA region, selected by music promoter and label owner Ziad Nawfal – this broadcast features a guest mix by musician and composer FATEN KANAAN. Originally commissioned by Stegi Radio and produced by Onassis Stegi.

Faten Kanaan is a composer whose work uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to craft music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. Of Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, and Lebanese heritage, Kanaan was born in Germany, grew up between Europe and the Middle East, and is now based in Amman, Jordan. Recent concerts have included appearances supporting Alessandro Cortini, Colin Stetson, Blonde Redhead, and William Basinski.

Ziad Nawfal Guest Mix for Worldwide FM // 22 July 2025

January 2, 2026March 17, 2026Music ShowsLeave a Comment

ZIAD NAWFAL for WORLDWIDE FM, UK – 22 JULY 2025

This mix is a personal offering, curated for Worldwide FM as a guest selection and composed entirely of music released on Ruptured Records, a label I co-founded in Beirut in 2008 with Fadi Tabbal of Tunefork Studios, and have been nurturing ever since through radio and a growing catalogue of experimental sound.

For over fifteen years, Ruptured has worked at the margins of genre and geography, sustaining a space for independent music-making in a country repeatedly brought to the edge. It has become a platform for artists whose practices emerge from a landscape of political violence and cultural erasure; yet whose works resist despair, insisting instead on complexity and collaboration.
