Fahmi Mursyid is a contemporary musician, composer, sound designer, and producer based in Bandung, Indonesia. He began releasing recordings under various monikers and on different labels starting in 2011 and has since amassed a massive collection of recordings and albums, continuing a growing streak of prolific output. Fahmi uses a wide range of acoustic and electronic instruments in a variety of combinations to create glitch, granular synthesis, and shimmering, swirling electronic sounds of an enormous range. For his exclusive mix for EastEast, Fahmi mixes his own compositions with a diverse selection of field recordings from the Music of Indonesia series recorded by Philip Yampolsky. These seemingly incongruous combinations stealthily illustrate his knack for reinterpretation and hybridisation and help to break down the rigid, perceived boundaries between the “traditional” and “experimental."

During the span of his lengthy career, Rabih Beaini has developed a reputation as one of the most forward thinking musicians and curators in the modern experimental and electronic scenes. It was a long way from his first dj-sets in his native Lebanon in 1990s to the creation of his own imprint Morphine Records in Italy in the early 2000s, which gained a cult status when he later relocated to Berlin. He has experimented with analog techno under his former alias Morphosis, curated programs for festivals such as CTM in Germany and Urvakan in Armenia, and released records by innovative artists from the Western Asia, North Africa, and South-East Asia. Towards the end of Berlin's lockdown, he spoke with curator Andrei Zailer about Lebanon, his music roots, and ways to preserve cultural traditions while constantly moving forward.
