THE KARAK® SOUNDS VOL. 1

Karak Sounds — a night built to amplify what’s already here. Karak Sounds invites DJs to curate sets that spotlight homegrown talent and reframe how we hear the Gulf.

In a city where nightlife often looks outward, Karak Sounds looks in. Each edition features selectors challenged to integrate tracks from regional and local artists, blending the familiar with the unheard. This isn’t your standard Hip-Hop & R&B night — it’s a cultural excavation, a sonic passport into the evolving identity of the Gulf’s music scene.

From Emirati rap to Saudi trap, to the latest tracks coming out in the region regardless of the genre or the roots of the artist — Karak Sounds repositions the DJ not just as a party-starter, but as a storyteller, an archivist, a bridge.
