Half-Australian half-Egyptian producer moktar combines traditional Arabic instrumentation with club music and techno. The racism and abuse he experienced during his youth provoked him to put his own identity front-and-centre in his music, a proud statement that combines the sounds of Middle Eastern culture with modern club music. A rising star both in Australia and abroad, releases on Mall Grab’s label Steel City Dance Discs and rave reviews of his sets have established him as one to watch. Make sure you do exactly that at Sónar by Day this year
