The Scene Between

One of the fiercest producers and DJs in the scene, Saliah is rewriting the rulebook with her one-of-a-kind blends of SWANA music and global club genres. Drawing from her Lebanese heritage and UK upbringing, her sound is both a reclamation and a disruption, channeling Arab pop nostalgia, hip-hop storytelling, and diasporic memory. 

Following her viral Boiler Room set, a sold-out Australia tour, a record-breaking night in Cairo, and BBC Radio 1’s Dance Floor Moment with “Habibi Riddim,” Saliah returns to the stage with her first original live show.

المشهد (The Scene Between) is a 60-minute audio-visual performance premiering at SXSW London, co-presented by Shubbak Festival. Built around new compositions and collaborations with regional musicians and artists, the performance unfolds as a carefully curated, immersive experience.

Visually and sonically, the performance moves between the theatrical and the club-driven, touching on fragmentation, spectacle, and what remains unsaid between scenes. It also ventures into speculative and futuristic scapes, imagining how SWANA narratives might unfold across sound, stage, and screen.

المشهد (The Scene Between) invites the audience to enter, not just to watch.
