LINE-UP | LOCATION | PREVIOUS EVENT
After a massive weekend with Beirut's 2ND SUN last December, we team up with The Grand Factory, once again, hosting Tale Of Us and Fideles for a bigger, louder edition on April 03, with Jade, Tala, Mazen and that's not even the full line-up.
TALE OF US
This tale dawns in Milan, where Karm and Matteo met at a young age. The Lombardic capital will turn out to be the preface of their success story. Through a unique production ethos, the music of Tale Of Us carries an exclusive sense of both urgency and restraint, taking ample time to carefully pace both the listener and the dance floor. This ethos culminates in their latest inception: Afterlife, an odyssey through the realm of consciousness. With multifaceted focus, Tale Of Us break poetic and emotional boundaries.
FIDELES
Forming together as Fideles in 2010, Daniele Aprile & Mario Roberti have been shaping music that blends the melodic and epic to deliver a mature and contemporary sound. Drawing on their lifelong influences, the Italian duo’s productions have peaked the attention of some of the biggest imprints in modern dance music. Consistently striving for a sound thats timeless yet original, Fideles are a duo with exciting plans on the ever-nearing horizon.
TALA
Beirut-based Resident DJ and managing partner of The Grand Factory and AHM Club, Tala is also the Co-Founder and Creative Director of her design studio Clap Clap. Together with her team, they make sure their clubs and online platforms are constantly a hub for local artists, a positive agent for change, and a space for always challenging the socio-political status quo.
JADE
Jade has been an ever-present figure at the crossroads of dance music and the entertainment business. He is the owner of Beirut’s arguably most successful super club, The Grand Factory, along with its sisters Reunion, and Soul Kitchen, all residing at the same address, the abandoned rooftop of a mattress factory; and AHM, the mammoth-sized complimentary outdoors summer venue. Funny enough, Jade never sought the club owner life; it was an entirely organic flow of events that led him to the position he’s in today.
MAZEN
Vintage sunglasses by day and Vinyls by night, Mazen is a man of many tastes and talents. Joining the Cairo nightlife scene in early 2017, he’s managed to carve out a name for himself and land some of the best gigs around town in a very short period of time. He also recently co-founded a first of its kind vinyl record store/studio - Sakanat Studios.
