Berlin-based Lebanese DJ and producer Nur Jaber is set to release her final EP, “End Of An Era“(NIHAYET HAQBAH), marking the conclusion of her decade-long techno project. Known for blending electronic music with deep emotional themes tied to her homeland, Lebanon, Nur’s new work pays homage to the resilience of her people, her concern for the dehumanisation of Arabic people and culture and exploring her personal rebirth.“I dedicate this EP to the people of Lebanon. We are more than numbers and casualties; we are artistic, creative, and rooted in a culture that is rich and mystical,” says Nur.
“As part of the world feels like it’s turning against us during this devastating time, brainwashing the masses, I proudly say I am Lebanese and I stand with my brothers & sisters.
