NoiseBreakdown: Sintax | Wegz - El-Ghasala

Sintax, the founder of Araby, is a highly acclaimed music producer and artist from Egypt. He has carved out a unique niche in the region’s music scene with his distinctive drum patterns and signature melancholic melodies. With over six years of experience, Sintax produced multiple hit records for renowned artists, cementing his position as one of the top producers in the MENA region.

In our sixth episode of ‘هندسة عكسية’ (‘NoiseBreakdown’), we feature Sintax as he takes us behind the scenes of his hit track with Wegz, ‘El-Ghasala’. The song marks the first track Wegz created specifically for a movie, as part of the soundtrack of the Egyptian sci-fi comedy ‘El Ghasala’ (2020). The track stands out with its delicate, cascading piano melodies forming the emotional heart of the song, as Wegz’s laid-back flow contrasts against a hard-hitting trap/shaabi beat crafted by Sintax.

In this episode, Sintax breaks down the beat for us, guiding us through his sound selection process and how the idea came to life.
