Wake Island

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 new album "Born To Leave" explores their diasporic identity from various personal and societal angles through songs in three languages (English, French and Arabic).
