I am not a big fan of electronic music but I still decided that the 1st Sakia Electronic Music Festival held at the end of January was an event worth attending and I made my way to the second evening. Of all the artists that performed, the one who made the best impression on me was Mohammed Ragab. Bent on his instruments and accompanied by a visual slide performance, he created a good atmosphere and pleasant sounds without being too harsh or becoming repetitive (being this the "accusation" that I most commonly direct towards electronic music).
What follows is the bio provided by Culture Wheel in the brochure accompanying the festival:
"Mohammed Ragab was born in Cairo, Egypt. He's an artist who make experimental electronic music. M. Ragab started his own project named "Machine Eat Man" aka M.E.M. seven years ago as an initial point to fulfill his passion for making electronic music, set out to bring analog synthesizers back into the spotlight in a day and age were multi-gigabyte samplers and laptop computers rule the electronic music scene.
M. Ragab has a degree in recording techniques and electronic music production from Recording Arts - Canada. M.E.M., signed by M.V.D. record label, delivers a hefty slice of synth-laden melody-fused electro-acoustic Egyptian beats."
Mohammed Ragab plays regularly in venues around Cairo.
