Biography
Wake Island is an electronic producer duo, originally from Beirut and now based between Montreal. 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 latest album "Born To Leave" (2021), nominated for best album at ADISQ, explores their diasporic identity from various personal and societal angles through songs in three languages (English, French and Arabic). Their music appeared in multiple series, films and exhibitions around the world. The duo also occasionally produces music for other artists from their studio in Mile End (Montreal). Since 2020, they have been focusing on interdisciplinary projects, stepping into the interactive and VR/AR space.
