‘Three Phase’ is the self-titled debut LP from 3Phaz. Falling in a dark dystopian area between Mahraganat & Shaabi on one side, and harddrum, footwork and techno on the other, this record is like nothing you’ve heard before. ‘Three Phase’ is a brutal, hard hitting, interpretation of the already raw and explosive Mahraganat sound.

3Phaz is a mysterious Cairo based musician obsessed with bass, distortion, and the deconstruction of the Shaabi aesthetic. His work is focused on amplifying the raw energy of Shaabi music and taking it a step further, the kind of raw energy you are bombarded with on the streets of Cairo as motorbikes and rickshaws fly by, blasting Shaabi through their busted speakers. .
