Scenenoise Podcast

This week on Select, we spotlight British-Kurdish DJ and rising producer, Lana Baybie, whose high-voltage sets have been lighting up major clubs and festivals across MENA, including Sandbox in Egypt's El Gouna. Shaped by her cross-cultural upbringing and time spent in Cairo, her sound pulls from UK garage, funk, and Jersey club, swerving into ghetto tech, dancehall, and bass-heavy club mutations. Off the decks, she co-runs the IASC collective, curating pop-up shows across Cairo, Dubai, and London. For Select 376, Lana shares the closing set from IASC’s one-year anniversary in Cairo, a tightly wound, bouncy run through jungle, breakbeat, rap, gqom, and percussive bass, laced with razor-sharp, ever-so slightly silly club edits. The set features an eclectic selection of tracks like 'Get Down Low' by En:vy remix, and Muhammad Ali by Lady Iykes, Scratcha DVA (remix).
