@scenenoise: For decades, Beirut has been one of the Middle East’s most vibrant and culturally significant nightlife hubs. Yet, amid relentless economic turbulence, political instability and an ongoing exodus of creative talent, the city’s celebrated music ecosystem has faced mounting pressure.

At Amsterdam Dance Event 2026, SceneNoise brought these tensions to the fore with a panel titled ‘Beirut Keeps Moving: How Lebanon’s Electronic Music Scene Survives & Evolves’. Moderated by SceneNoise founder Timmy Mowafi, the discussion brought together Tala Mortada (Co-Founder & CCO of Factory People), James Khoury (Co-Founder & CEO of Hot Axis) and artist Rolbac.

Rather than framing Beirut’s electronic music scene solely through the lens of survival, the conversation explored its capacity for adaptation, artistic resilience and global ambition. From reworking homegrown concepts to sustain local communities to carrying Beirut’s sound onto international dancefloors, the panel examined how the city’s cultural identity continues to travel beyond its borders.

At the heart of the discussion was the tension between preserving the raw, uncompromising ethos of Beirut’s underground and navigating the commercial realities of the global music industry. As Lebanese creators establish stronger footholds abroad, the challenge is not simply to make space for themselves internationally, but to carry Beirut’s distinct cultural identity, history and sense of community with them.
