As an author, Abdullah Miniawy's texts have resonated deeply throughout the Middle East since the Arab Spring. They have been displayed in public spaces in Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria. In early 2022, he published his first collection of stories, ‘Extinguishing The City of Light’.

Based in Paris, Selim Sameh, aka DJ $, builds hybrid sets halfway between rap, bass, deconstructed club and IDM. He takes listeners on a journey through his diverse musical influences.
 

Previously known as Dracula Lewis, a project developing his personal vision of ‘folk’ music, he has amassed a number of releases on various labels, while managing Hundebiss Records.

His new name, STILL, follows the discovery of stories linking his hometown of Vernasca to Ethiopia and Jamaica, explored as part of his visual arts project Invernomuto, in-depth fieldwork that led to ‘Negus’: a series of sculptures, installations, a book and a full-length experimental documentary, screened at Unsound 2016.
