During the span of his lengthy career, Rabih Beaini has developed a reputation as one of the most forward thinking musicians and curators in the modern experimental and electronic scenes. It was a long way from his first dj-sets in his native Lebanon in 1990s to the creation of his own imprint Morphine Records in Italy in the early 2000s, which gained a cult status when he later relocated to Berlin. He has experimented with analog techno under his former alias Morphosis, curated programs for festivals such as CTM in Germany and Urvakan in Armenia, and released records by innovative artists from the Western Asia, North Africa, and South-East Asia.
Towards the end of Berlin's lockdown, he spoke with curator Andrei Zailer about Lebanon, his music roots, and ways to preserve cultural traditions while constantly moving forward.
