Vortex - The Pulse of Amman's Electronic Music Scene

The fifth edition of Vortex’s Open Air Festival was a spectacular audio-visual experience that brought 19 regional and international DJs together across two stages at the scenic Bisharat Golf Club in Amman, Jordan.

Before the night came alive with hard-hitting techno, house, and minimal selections from the likes of Vortex founder Amro Malhas, resident Vortex DJ Oun Jweinat, Yellowtape’s Nour Fahmy and Mira, and Outcast Torino’s Denaila, Bakked, and Munir Nader, SceneNoise spoke with the event organizers about their experience with Amman’s strenuous music scene, and how they took matters into their own hands by carving out a space for themselves in the industry through their restless determination.

Vortex founder Amro Malhas, art director Barush, and social media manager-slash-resident DJ Oun Jweinat speak about their experience with the city’s music scene, as well as their initiative to grow the local community through their highly anticipated festival.
