We tried to put together an inclusive playlist that can take us through the lushest sounds of this post-war scene. The veterans, the new comers and the one timers: here’s a list of 100 songs from all the genres and sounds that Beirut is blasting with.”

Sary Moussa is a music producer who goes under the alias RadioKVM. He is an electronic musician from Beirut. He has been in its underground scene since 2008. He has composed music for theatre, short films, performances, etc. So think of him as a music and art supporter.
Bandcamp says that his upcoming record Imbalance “finds Moussa revisiting the soundscapes of his childhood; from the echoes of political unrest, to Greek-Catholic chants, and the quiet nights of a secluded Southern village.” You can listen a sneak peak in Bandcamp already, or enjoy his first album that is ambient-like or his more up beat boiler room.
