I will be behind the decks on Saturday night, the 28th of August 2010, in Beirut at of my top 3 bars/clubs of the city: Behind the Green Door in Gemmayze, starting 10pm.

No need to mention that I will be spinning the most beautiful songs in the history of the universe, yes you know that.

To all of you who are currently in Beirut, see you there!

Peace,

Rabih

To those of you who happen to be in Beirut, Lebanon, tonight: join us at DEMO (Gemmayze, two buildings next to Kayen) starting 9pm.

Nabil and I will be DJ-ing back-to-back and a very, very fun night is to be expected.

Hope to see you there!

Peace on you and everyone you love,

R

Wow. I don’t really know what to say.

Going back to Beirut’s Basement, one year after our live debut there, was truly sweet. I must admit I had a few apprehensions about doing this show. I actually have apprehensions every time I’m back in Beirut, because I never know what to expect. Are people going to show up? How are they going to react? The usual.

I just woke up after only 4 hours of sleep. I couldn’t sleep more because the excitement’s still there. That bittersweet taste you get when a show’s out of the way after weeks of buildup: it all happened so fast.

And you were all truly wonderful, I mean it. It was a pleasure watching and hearing you sing along – and on your own! – watching you move, dance. And all the positive vibes that were there. Not a single negative thing, not one. It was great to see familiar faces who knew the words to the songs, new faces who seemed to be enjoying it just as much.

I want to thank all the people who contributed to making this happen. Hadi and everyone at the Basement. Ziad Nawfal. Woody and George on sound. The opening band Lazzy Lung. And the beautiful people who shared the stage with me: George on electronics/voice effects, Liz on VJ-ing, and Antonio on guitar.

Finally, I can’t describe how amazing it felt to perform 3 songs with my special guest of the night, Ramy Tibi from the band Rama’s Whisper. Ramy and I had a band together exactly 10 years ago. I was a guitar player then, and he called me up one day asking me to join his band Kynslinn Tobacco… as a singer. And the rest was history. Sharing the stage with someone you know so well and with so much talent was magical, and we will most certainly do it again.

A big big thank you again to every single one of you who was there yesterday night,

All my love,

R
