Tune in to @radioalhara tomorrow to hear @ishtirakmusic at 8:00pm Beirut / 7:00pm Berlin.

@ishtirakmusic acclaimed self-titled debut album was recorded in a single, sweltering weekend in a Beirut studio amidst total economic collapse, petrol and bread crisis, and widespread blackouts. Each track was captured in fleeting moments of power, its length and sonic path dictated by the unpredictable electricity and the patience to remain recording regardless. This process forged a sound that is both a journal of a city in crisis and a thunderous declaration of creative resilience—a collective clap-back against the forces that seek to silence expression.

Hear our studio album as well as a live performance from #frequentdefect recently released on the @fakelines.studio Sono Levant Vinyl Compilation.

Ishtirak composed & performed by,
@mouhabolamona on juno 2, fx
@thaljeremy on french horn, fx, op1, production, mix
@dillychee on drums, percussion, production, mix

Recorded at @onehertzstudios
Mixed by @etyenmusic
Mastered by @conordalton_mastering

Thanks to @thawrarecords @meshkat_records
