    Absolace

    Absolace

    Formed in 2008, UAE-based Absolace have earned a huge following across the Middle East with their mixture of progressive rock and metal. In 2010, the band recorded and released their debut album Resolve[d] to critical acclaim. The record, which showcased Absolace’s unique rhythmically oriented sound and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, et al) was unveiled at launch gigs in both Dubai and Lebanon, and went on to generate impressive album sales both regionally and internationally.

    The combination of their intense, dynamic live shows and the professional standard of musicianship on Resolve[d] have enabled Absolace to build up a large following in a short space of time, and the band have played several large shows across the region, including the Formula 1 celebrations in Abu Dhabi and support for UK prog legends Anathema in Beirut.

    2011 saw Absolace go from strength to strength, headlining and playing to packed venues locally (including the Peace One Day Festival at Irish Village, Dubai), featuring in local and international music media (Rolling Stone Middle East, Classic Rock Goes PROG! UK), commencing writing and production of their second full length feature and recently supporting US rock giants 30 Seconds To Mars at the prestigious Byblos Festival in Lebanon

    2012 promises to be a landmark year for the band; releasing their highly anticipated second studio LP "Fractals" locally (UAE) through Spellbind Records (local distribution) in late Feburary. Produced by drummer Greg Cargopoulos and Dubai based U.S. producer Joshua F. Williams (Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Flo-Rida) and mastered by Grammy Award winning Gavin Lursson @Lursson Mastering in Los Angeles, "Fractals" shows Absolace evolve and expand their signature sound and groove and branch out into new sonic territories. Themed around the concept of chaos theory, "Fractals" has already generated major interest locally and globally; and was independently released globally in late March.

    Absolace are four musicians who share an innate love of music. The result is an epic sound that transcends the traditional rock band, and makes them one of the most exciting new acts to emerge from the regional scene.

After hiring more musicians to complete the line-up, the long-awaited debut album ‘Worm’s Eye View’ was finally released in late 2011.

    2015 saw the release of their second opus "All Is Not For All," which garnered very positive reviews in the heavy metal media globally and saw numerous features and covermount single inclusions in some of the biggest magazines such as Metal Hammer, Terrorizer and Kerrang to name a few.

    DJ Mytee A

    DJ Mytee A

    My name is Ashira Allan Fernando, I'm an average patriotic Sri Lankan. Born and raised in Abu Dhabi, then moved back to Sri Lanka and after a few years back, I landed back to the United Arab Emirates.

    I'm a very outgoing person and always love being around with music and friends. I used to play rugby and basketball in Sri Lanka and I still love those sports. Back there, I was surrounded by evenings of music in church and during the weekends, since dad was a guitarist, my family would always find an excuse to have a gathering with guitars and a type of instrument that almost every Sri Lankan family possesses, a glass bottle and a spoon. It gets pretty loud as the evening goes into night, but I was always there, trotting along to the music I barely understood. When I was a teenager, I bought a guitar and started playing it along with them and this ignited my passion for music.

    During my teenage phase, a tsunami of digital music hit the world, I was brought to it by my friends, I fell in love with it. I started off with CDJs and small parties. People loved my music, to see people raving to your mixes is an indescribable feeling. By the name of DJ Mytee A, things went to a good start I must say. A few months back I met a person called

    DJ Ray-Sun

    In 2021 I finished DJ school in Russia, and can't imagine my life without music since then. I have been dancing since my very childhood though, however, my life sparkled with new colors when I learned another way to share my feelings with people - conducting music through myself and letting the audience feel the same as me. As a dancer, I am searching for new ways of interpreting music. As a DJ, I am letting people live it.

    In January 2022 I moved to Phuket, Thailand, and immediately started to play in beach clubs, private events, and yachts. I got a passion for such genres like Tribal/Afro/Organic House, Downtempo, Progressive House, Indietronica, and Tech House, and love to experiment with the sounds of nature.

    Empty Yard Experiment

    Empty Yard Experiment

    EYE (Empty Yard Experiment) was formed in 2006 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The band’s music often eludes categorization - it is essentially a unique combination of sub-genres that includes the alternative and progressive varieties of rock, as well as experimental and instrumental/post-rock.

    Since its inception, EYE has built an impressive live portfolio, including high-profile opening spots for Metallica, Evanescence, and Anathema.

    The soul of the band’s work is rooted in a restless Middle East, and channels its volatile energy through a multi-sensory approach to performance. In other words, each EYE show features an elaborate set of projected visual elements, which create an experience that each member of the audience is invited to relate to in their own unique way.

    Although its influences range from bands such as Tool and King Crimson to Porcupine Tree, Alice in Chains and Mogwai, EYE have developed a distinctive sound that continues to enchant audiences across the region. Indeed, the variety of their musical role models is as diverse as their cultural backgrounds, with members hailing from Serbia, Iran and Ireland/Saudi Arabia - providing this versatile group of musicians with genuine multinational appeal.
