(dunno how to spell)

north yemen and south yemen??!!
theres only ONE Yemen

itz really funny to see how people deviate from the topic....

Anyway, the electronic scene out here in the middle east is pickin up especially in the U.A.E. I guess the scene in Lebanon & Bahrain is good cos u got some of the local djs from there playin in the U.A.E from time to time. You've got a lot of decent clubs out here as well...

This year we had Sasha, Deep Dish, Anthony Pappa, Danny Howells among other djs playin in Dubai....

As 4 the trance scene, itz pickin up slowly but majority of the crowd's in2 r&b.

hopefully things shud improve in the near future....

And 4 those of u who arent sure bout the countries tat make up the middle east, they're Oman, U.A.E, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Syria, jordan, Lebanon & Israel...

Originally posted by razmataz one of my good friends told me once that Syria had a popular underground scene... hard to believe though for nothing else but I have only met one Syrian who loves trance (my best friend)... Most Arabs I meet don't dig trance... There's still stuck on George Wassuf...bleh

never heard of an underground scene in Syria... nightclubs are illegal. My friend was pumping the trance mixes I sent him in Damascus, no one heard of that kind of music

Lebanon has quite a vibrant scene, Danny Howells played there not too long ago!

someone on here said that people from Jordan sometimes come to Israel to go to clubs and parties there, not sure how valid that is though

yeah its quite funny actually - everytime i play that kind of music relatives would be like "ok when is the song going to start?" like half way through... haha

anyways i do know that gatecrasher organizes events in Dubai... not sure who has mixed at those events

haha its funny to see you all bashing eachother becuz of my post
Danny Howells played in Lebanon not long ago it was crazy
But its still retarded scene anywhere around middle-east, prolly israel is the most advanced one in psy-goa scene. Otherwise its just commercial crap again

and ya i would bash anyone who misspells my country:P

unitede stay of america?

How can clubbing be any fun down there, when the girls have to wear *horrible* burkas, and the fedayen hunt them down and punish them (Saudi-Arabia)!?

That's the way it's described in several feature articles from various magazines and documentaries about the middle east. Possibly I'm wrong, but still, I wonder.

Going to raves is not just about the music, remember?

you can meet lots of regular attractive women in Saudi Arabia... public nightclubs are banned but almost all the expatraites live in large housing compounds walled off, with all the essentials-theatres, swimming pools, bowling alleys (not that a bowling alley is all that essential), etc... and if the compound is close to the sea you even have a private beach...so basically you have your own makeshift parties and what have you...

Dubai is a different story... very open and liberal-anything goes...

well the scene in lebanon is big i'm sure of that, but its slowly developing in other countries like UAE, in Dubai the scene is getting bigger but they r more into house, they had Sasha, Deepdish, Smoking Jo, Sander K, and they r having James Zabiela(OMG)for NYE, they also have weekly promoters like hed kandi and MoS.
but in rest of the middle east the crowd is huge but no scene i know i've been hard core for the longest time, and alot of them are into the crappy cheesy commercial @*$#% like scooter, ian van dahl....etc and they're also into R&B.
