While the summer heat is beginning to fade into a waft of cool breeze, signalling the waning end of the Sahel season and the return of the mundane city life, that doesn’t mean the party season is over in Cairo. The city’s pulsating clubbing scene is now gearing up for a series of eclectic season opening nights filled with some of the freshest electronic tunes from across the region and beyond, and there’s no better way for us music heads to make the most out of this Brat summer than by raving and partying with abandon.
From Lazuli x Yellowtape underground pop-up rave to NoiseSessions showcase at CJC 610, we have compiled a list of the most exciting season-opening club nights happening across Cairo this September to help you sign off this Brat summer with a bang.
