Deena Abdelwahed Flips Yasmine Hamdan’s ‘Mor’ into Club Remix

Deena Abdelwaheed, a pioneering figures in the MENA region’s electronic music scene, has released a remix of ‘Mor’, a track from the Lebanese singer-songwriter Yasmine Hamdan’s latest album, I Remember I Forgot. 

Rich, clear and unwaveringly evocative, the remix tempers with the track’s original ambient production through a punchy blend of grimy techno, dabka-driven bass percussion and almost dustopian textures. It's slightly dark yet enjoyable and bouncy. Hamdan’s ethereal vocals are sliced and suspended in ghostly fragments, drifting through the mix with a dystopian haze that amplifies the song’s wounded and poetic lyricism rather than softening it.

Over the past decade, Abdelwahed has carved out a distinct space within electronic music, both regionally and internationally. Her productions and DJ sets consistently bridge North African rhythmic references with forward-facing club experimentation, positioning her as an artist who moves fluidly between cultural contexts without reducing either to aesthetic shorthand. 

Where many remixes flatten the emotional weight of their source material, Abdelwahed preserves it. Her version of ‘Mor’ doesn’t dilute its humanity; it refracts it through a darker, more physical lens, crafting an addictive combination of darkness and danceability that positions the track in a different realm, giving it a brooding edge suitable for underground dancefloors.
