Hady Moamer Revisits Marwan Pablo's 'Barbary' With Psych-Shaabi Remix

Egyptian hip-hop producer Hady Moamer has just released a remix of ‘Barbary’, the explosive hit he originally produced for rap superstar Marwan Pablo.

The track has racked up over a million views on YouTube within 24 hours of its release, and later shot to No. 2 on the MENA trending charts. Now, Moamer revisits the original production through a psychedelic-infused shaabi lens. He leans more towards the experimental side of the electronic spectrum, reconstructing the track’s musical core with heavy emphasis on futuristic textures and trippy atmosphere. It showcases a more mature production, a sound that Moamer has been sharpening over the past few years.

The remix signals the beginning of a new era for Hady Moamer, one where he will be releasing a new album that’s fully instrumental. The album is expected to arrive by the end of this year. But if 'Barbary' remix is any indication, this upcoming project might just cement Moamer's position as one of the region's most forward-thinking producers.
