Muqata’aمقاطعة
Muqata’a is an electronic musician and producer based in Ramallah, Palestine. His work combines sampled material, field recordings, synths, and fragments from radio into layered compositions driven by unstable rhythms and shifting tonal structures.
A founding member of the Ramallah Underground Collective (2002–2009), he is also part of the sound and image performance group Tashweesh alongside Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme. His solo albums include Hayawan Nateq (2013), La Lisana Lah (2017), Dubt Al-Ghubar (2017), Inkanakuntu (2018), and Kamil Manqus (2021).
His live sets are immersive and confrontational, layering textures, rattling bass, and momentary torrents of broken beats that disrupt and destabilize. His work explores memory, fragmentation, and transformation through sound.
