Ziad Nawfal Mix for Stegi Radio with guest RENATA // 07 January 2025

February 6, 2025February 4, 2025Music 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 mix by Lebanese DJ, producer and promoter RENATA. Originally commissioned by Stegi Radio and produced by Onassis Stegi.

Renata was invited to produce this set in August 2024 and kindly agreed. However, Israel’s brutal campaign on Lebanon soon began, forcing her to pause the project. She was finally able to complete it just a couple of weeks ago.

The result is a mix that carries the weight of the past year —a deeply personal and carefully curated selection that spans experimental electronics, folk traditions, and beyond, featuring tracks from Psychic TV, Suzanne Ciani, Raed Yassin, and more.

Accompanying the set is a full-length video of Renata spinning live on vinyl, filmed in Beirut and available to watch on Ruptured’s YouTube channel – see below.

Filming and editing by Anthony Zouein and Rony Khoubieh in Beirut. Tech support by Wicked Solutions.

Psychic TV / Rene Hell / Unidentified members of the Royal Drums Ensemble / Maria Nanemba Muyinda / Evaristo Muyinda / Chants et Danses des Montagnards du Vietnam / Kopolyano Kyobe & Band / Mazen Kerbaj / Senyawa / International Archives of Folk Music: Greeks / Raed Yassin / Jerusalem in My Heart / Vollmaier / Suzanne Ciani / Komeda Quintet / Praed Orchestra / Suzanne Ciani / Snekkestad, Kjaergaard & Jacobson / Clara!

January 10, 2025August 13, 2025Music 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 mix by Lebanese musician SANDY CHAMOUN. Originally commissioned by Stegi Radio and produced by Onassis Stegi.

Sandy Chamoun is a multifaceted artist, singer, and actor based in Beirut. Her music draws from her ongoing interest in a wide range of subjects, including audio-visual arts, politics, satire, and folk traditions.

In 2022, Chamoun released her debut solo album, FATA17OCT. She is currently developing her second album, Sawt El Doumoue, commissioned by Mophradat. Beyond her solo work, she is a founding member of two notable musical groups: the political satire band The Great Departed and the free-rock, post-folk sextet SANAM. SANAM’s debut album, Aykathani Malakon, was released in June 2023 on the UK label Mais Um Discos to critical acclaim, followed by the live album Live at Cafe Oto a year later.

Chamoun has also delved into Arabic folk songs with social and political themes. She has performed the works of iconic figures like Sheikh Imam and Mona Meraashli at venues such as Metro Al-Madina in Beirut. As a performer, she has appeared in several acclaimed Lebanese theater productions, including Political Circus, Welada88, and Aghani Servicet (Taxi Songs). Her skills extend to sound design, with credits in short films such as There Is a Baba in Our House by Leil Zahra Mortada and Congress of Idling Persons by Bassem Saad.
