Ethnoclubbing - Act One - The Middle East

Today, dance music has a huge number of fans - modern, active people mainly living in large metropolitan areas. Club culture is one of the manifestations of urbanism in the contemporary environment. Moscow, one of the most happening places in the world, is certainly no exception. Almost every week, DJs tour here. It's not surprising that most of them come from countries where the club scene originated, primarily the USA and the UK. However, it must be acknowledged that electronic music is a universal language spoken by youth all over the world. Talented DJs, musicians, and composers can be found in all, even the most remote corners of our planet. Even in Mongolia, Peru, and Uganda, they exist as idols of youth. The electronic music they create is influenced by local culture and traditions, acquiring a vivid national flavor. The Ethnoclubbing festival is an unprecedented event with no analogs today. Ethnoclubbing has a clear concept: it aims to introduce Muscovites interested in modern dance culture to the most prominent representatives of club culture from exotic countries who have gained fame in their countries and beyond. They have the talent for mixing, skillfully weaving national and folk motifs into electronic rhythms, capable of rocking the dance floor. The first event of the festival introduces the Moscow audience to the club culture of the Middle East. Lavish parties organized by Arab billionaires in Beirut, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi have long been the norm here. In Cairo and Dubai, rave parties with thousands of attendees are held. DJ Fadi, a well-known figure in the music scene of this region, will be the ambassador of music from this region. At the party dedicated to the Middle East, we find ourselves in the very heart of an Eastern fairytale city. Here, antiquity is juxtaposed with novelty, ancient minarets stand next to skyscrapers. The space will be adorned with posters featuring views of Middle Eastern capitals. Club staff will be dressed in national Arab costumes, and incense will be burned in all the rooms. During the DJs' performances, films dedicated to both the modern and traditional culture of this region, nature and megacities, raves and national holidays will be shown on a large screen and video screens. These films will include footage featuring the festival's sponsor. Specially invited Arab dancers will perform belly dancing, and guests will be treated to Eastern sweets.
