Beirut’s vibrant nightlife has found its new anthem in Minaris’ latest single, Nashwa. Set for release on November 7th, 2025, this track feels like an electrifying collision of worlds — where indie dance and melodic house meet the evocative pull of Arabic melodies. The title itself, Nashwa, meaning ecstasy or elation in Arabic, perfectly encapsulates the track’s essence: euphoric, emotional, and deeply rooted in cultural authenticity.
Crafted entirely by Minaris in Beirut over a focused two-week creative burst, Nashwa is more than a club record — it’s a sensory journey. From its driving techno pulse to its soaring melodic hook and cinematic synth layers, every element feels intentional, designed to move both body and spirit. There’s a strong sense of place running through the music; you can almost feel the rhythm of the city itself — the chaos, the beauty, the emotion. It’s a sound that belongs in Beirut’s underground clubs, but equally on global stages from Berlin to Ibiza.
What makes Nashwa stand out is Minaris’ ability to fuse East and West so seamlessly. His classical training in trumpet, piano, and voice lends a sense of depth and musicality that elevates his electronic productions beyond the surface-level pulse of the genre. Since his early works, Taal and Beirut Ritual, he’s shown a rare talent for merging the sophistication of Western electronic music with the rich textures of Arabic and Indian traditions — and Nashwa feels like the culmination of that journey.
Having honed his craft through years of disciplined study at Point Blank (UK) and Pervurt (Beirut), Minaris now emerges as a producer who not only creates music but also curates emotion. With plans for an immersive live show utilizing the Ableton Push 3, it’s clear he’s intent on bringing these sonic worlds to life in real-time.
Nashwa is a transcendent dancefloor experience
