@SceneNoise #NewNoise: Cairo-based producer Onsy has always operated at his own particular wavelength. For the better part of a decade, his output has occupied a specific cerebral register; wired, alien, demanding. ‘Baba Fen’ is a deliberate step away from that. A recalibration of the same restless intelligence, applied to a more direct, more approachable kind of music.Released through Amman-based label Drowned by Locals, the album is loosely trap-rooted, but doesn’t hold itself too strictly to any genre, taking inspiration from IDM, Egyptian pop, and mahraganat. Assembled remotely between Cairo and Haifa with a rotating cast of collaborators; Fara7, Bleng, Illfeel, and Sakt, the defining sound of these features is first-take energy. The record opens with ‘Zabet Ekaa3’, and it sets the terms immediately. Post-sha’abi energy dissolves into digital arpeggios, mahraganat rhythms absorb trap’s skeletal logic, and somewhere underneath it all, ambient textures creep in like a slow tide. Tracks like ‘Fnan’ (ft. Fara7 & Bleng), deliver the kind of sardonic expressiveness that makes boasting feel like philosophy, whereas ‘Beef f Rg’eef’ tightens things considerably with melodic ideas that sticks harder than almost anything else on the record.Then there’s Illfeel, who arrives on ‘Fantanyel’ and ‘Blikii’ like a weather event. An Egyptian underground heavyweight, his style sits somewhere between aggression and an extended inside joke, and it works because he means both simultaneously. ‘Baba Fen’ is quite an interesting record. Onsy’s production throughout shows real care: in drum sound selection, in harmonic sensibility, in the way he chases experimentation without losing groove. If there’s a critique, it’s that though the producer tried to meet the audience halfway, it still stands as an acquired taste, but for those already tuned into this frequency, it hits hard. And the stripped-back approach, it turns out, suits Onsy pretty well.For more noise-making people and movements from across the region visit www.scenenoise.com or download the #SceneNOW app. by @the_only_onsy

Listen to ‘Fantanyel (feat. IlIfeel)’ by Onsy taken from ‘Baba Fen’ out on May 29th via Drowned By LocalsLink in bioFor the better part of a decade, Cairo-based producer Mostafa Onsy has been the architect of the cerebral. His work, defined by intricate, wired sound design and alien dub, demanded a specific, deep-head focus from its dedicated listeners.Baba Fen is something else entirely: a sharp turn from the complicated toward the direct and immediate. Call it pop-adjacent, if you squint—but only because density has been traded for a different kind of clarity.Rooted in the minimal logic of trap, the record relies on heavy 808s, sparse arrangements, auto-tuned vocals, and a groove that hits without clutter. It nods to the lineage of Southside and Chasethemoney, yet reroutes that minimalism through a restless, cross-border sensibility. Remotely assembled between Cairo and Haifa with artists Fara7, Bleng, and Illfeel, the project was shaped by a loose, almost accidental workflow—vocals recorded and returned within hours, fueled by basic tools, slow internet, and whatever energy was available in the moment. This first-take urgency becomes the defining character.From here, Baba Fen moves without a fixed map. While anchored in trap, the sound frequently drifts into Egyptian 90s pop, Mahraganat, and crystalline, chiptune-like melodies, refusing to settle into any one single mode of expression.Mastered by Rashad Becker, the final result maintains a striking balance between its spontaneous origins and a formidable sonic weight. It captures a producer venturing beyond established boundaries, trading complexity for contact and proving that a stripped-back approach can often hit the hardest. by @the_only_onsy

Onsy – Baba FenPre-order now live on digital + limited edition CDTitle track Baba Fen (feat. Bleng, Fara7 & Sakt) streaming everywhereAlbum out May 29🔗 in bioCairo-based producer Mostafa Onsy shifts focus on Baba Fen, moving away from the dense, detail-heavy approach that defined his earlier work. In its place is something more immediate: a stripped, trap-informed sound built on heavy 808s, sparse arrangements, and auto-tuned vocals.Assembled remotely between Cairo and Haifa with Fara7, Bleng, and Illfeel, the record took shape through quick exchanges—vocals recorded and returned within hours, driven by whatever tools and energy were at hand. That first-take spontaneity runs throughout.While grounded in trap, Baba Fen pulls in flashes of Egyptian ’90s pop, Mahraganat, and bright, chiptune-like melodies, keeping the sound in constant motion. Mastered by Rashad Becker, it balances raw immediacy with weight and precision, marking a clear step into a more direct and open form.☎Produced by @the_only_onsyVocals and lyrics by Bleng, @dmou3fara7 @bareetlblad, @saktdagoat, and @ill.feel_Mixed by OnsyMastered by @rashad__beckerArtwork by @kareemlotfyDBL46CD by @the_only_onsy
