JEDDAH — Saudi electronic music producer Omar Basaad returns with the resurrection of his single “Nehaytna Eh” in the first official Arabic dubstep worldwide release on Monday (July 2). Featuring Hanna and Hugeative, the composition is set to take over the charts on Beatport, the world's largest electronic dance music community and online store, as the first Arabic dubstep single. Basaad's transcendental visions have been realized with the abstract infusion of dubstep, empowering synthesis of electric echoes of erotic Arabian beats. The intermix has derived influences from heavy basslines of dubstep laden with complex additive synthesis. Talking about his release, Basaad told Saudi Gazette that he is very excited to introduce dubstep to the Middle East. “Electronica music is taking over the world.” He said many people listen to dubstep in the region so he decided to introduce the Arabic element to the world and vice versa. “I decided to introduce it with Arabic vocals to the world. So I thought of recreating one of my old hits and infusing it with dubstep. You can call it a reincarnation of a hit. It gives you a chance to explore the power of dubstep.” “Nehaytna Eh” undergoes a transition from progressive Arabian electronica to the subgenre of dubstep. The track evinces Mediterranean power with its mythical standard of perfection and is shaded by the dark elements of dub. “I am just proud to be the first Saudi to be representing EDM (electronic dance music) all across the world,” Basaad said.
