Wezza Montaser and Ali Loka Drop Shaabi Fusion Banger ‘Ana 3al Gad’

The producer fuses typical shaabi standards with a Western arrangement for a more saturated, carved sound.

Wezza Montaser and Ali Loka Drop Shaabi Fusion Banger ‘Ana 3al Gad’

Egyptian producer, Wezza, is at it again with his signature production on ‘Ana 3al Gad’, a new collaboration track with Ali Loka.


Wezza goes for slightly shaabi-sounding elements in the beat, but throws in a twist by heavily saturating and carving the sounds, a move away from shaabi’s usual distorted warps. Blending trap kicks with zills (sagat), Wezza produces a sort of Western-shaabi fusion on a bed of a mahraganat lead by a gliding bassline with some 808 slides entering the mix.

Fusing shaabi with other genres has been a recent reaction by Egyptian producers, and it’s a fascinating innovation to watch unfold.
