Sintax Flips Al Massrieen's Classic ‘Hezeny’ Into a Chill House Cut

In a heartfelt tribute to the late Egyptian composer Hany Shenouda, producer Sintax reimagines Al Massrieen's beloved 1980s classic 'Hezeny' on his latest single.

Retaining the original title, Sintax trades the song's boogie-inflected funk-pop foundation for a dreamy, laid-back house sound, sampling its iconic chorus into a lush contemporary electronic arrangement. Where Shenouda's original thrived on breezy disco grooves, elastic basslines, flashes of alt-rock, and distinctly Egyptian melodic sensibilities, Sintax pares it back into something more atmospheric, breezy house cut without losing its emotional core.

While his reinterpretation may initially feel worlds apart from the original, it ultimately succeeds as a thoughtful update, one that introduces 'Hezeny' to a new generation while preserving the spirit that made it endure.
