Yukunkun is hosting the unique duo of double Ziad’s on the decks for a unique session of Old Skool Hip Hop, Alien Funk and Nu-House music.

– Ziad Nawfal is the founder of the ground-breaking Beirut-based independent label – Ruptured. He has spent the better part of the last 20 years exposing Lebanon and the world to the special local and regional independent music talent on his long-running radio show – Ruptures, on Radio Liban 96.2 FM. He started spinning music in local Beiruti bars at the tender age of 18, and has played in the capital’s most renowned venues, from Babylone and Zinc in the 1990’s, to Club Social and The Basement in the 2000’s.

In the last couple of years, Ziad Moukarzel has regularly performed as a DJ in Beirut venues such as Radio Beirut and Yukunkun. He is a founding member of monthly electronic music event “Beats Bass and I don’t know Bro”, which showcases lesser known dance genres such as footwork, LA beat, bass, and jungle.
