On August 4, 2020, life in Beirut is turned upside down by an unprecedented explosion. Among them, co-founder of the Decks on the Beach festival in Beirut Olivier almost dies and suddenly loses his home, as well as thousands of other Lebanese.
Shocked, four artist friends regulars of the festival offer him their help: ATTARI, DJ, producer and label manager from Brussels, CLAAP! French pop electro duo and YUKSEK, producer, composer, owner of the label Partyfine and resident Radio Nova. Olivier suggests them to produce a collaborative track to support Beirut. He also introduces them to his friend Raphaelle Macaron, a talented illustrator and Lebanese comic book author who proposes to create the visual.
The friends talk about it around them andwhat was supposed to be a track becomes a compilation of original tracks by about twenty Lebanese international artists or lovers of Lebanon: Anoraak, ATTARI, Breakbot, CLAAP! Dimitri From Paris, DJ Deep, Get A Room! In Flagranti, Gabriel Yared, Irfane, J'emballe Jean, Jimi Bazzouka aka Joakim, Julien Jabre, Mike Simonetti, Rubin Steiner, Sal P de Liquid Liquid, Sarah Maison, Simon LeSaint, Takuya Nakamura, Whatever/Whatever aka Justin Strauss & Bryan Mette, You Man, YSF (the other half of Decks on the Beach), Yuksek, Zeb aka The Spy From Cairo and Zimmer.
All the profits from this compilation will be donated to the NGO Baytna Baytak, which is in charge of helping people who lost their homes during the explosion in Beirut, which is particularly important as winter approaches.
