Wake Island is an electronic producer duo, originally from Beirut and now based between Montreal and New York. They infuse Middle-Eastern sounds into techno inspired beats and 80-90s pop/rock.
The band is currently cementing its place in their local Arab and queer scenes with their live shows, DJ sets and LayLit, a NYC-based party they co-founded that celebrates the musical diversity from the MENA region and its diasporas. Their upcoming full-length "Born To Leave" explores their diasporic identity from various personal and societal angles through songs in three languages (English, French and Arabic).
