Chiati's ‘Zaman’ Ft. Omar Emara is a Fresh Take on Arab House

Egyptian producer and live act Chaiti drops a new single ‘Zaman’, featuring his long-time music partner and collaborator Omar Emara.

For a decade or so, the two Egyptian artists have been making music together, forming a partnership defined by a continuous process of creation and experimentation that was born out of their friendship, and even birthed a deeply personal collaborative album called ‘Pantomime’ in 2021. 

On ‘Zaman’, their first collaborative project in 2025 released on Alan Dixon’s Love Attack Records, Chaiti’s intricate production, blending emotive house rhythms with afro and tribal elements, locks in with Emara’s Arabic vocal tones, offering a fresh effort on Arab house music. 

The track’s poignant lyrics, pinned by Egyptian pop artist Ahmed Basyouni, detail a personal and inhibited journey of self-discovery and hope that Chaiti colours impeccably with his electronic gospel of emotional piano melodies, and innovative synth modulations.
