47SOUL // TORONTO // CANADA TOUR 2024
Proudly presenting the groundbreaking Palestinian musical collective and Shamstep pioneers, 47SOUL, bringing their electrifying blend of sounds and infectious energy to Toronto. Join us on July 30th @ Axis Club (all ages welcome).
47SOUL has been making waves globally with its distinctive genre, Shamstep. This style combines traditional Palestinian street music, known as "Dabke," with electronic beats, deep bass lines, and a touch of funk, hip-hop, and reggae, creating a compelling and danceable fusion that transcends cultural and musical boundaries.
Formed in Jordan in 2013, 47SOUL—comprising Tareq Abu Kwaik, Ramzy Suleiman, Walaa Sbait, and Hamza Arnaout—single-handedly pioneered Shamstep. Their debut EP, Shamstep (2015), not only coined the genre’s name but also introduced a new audience to the traditional music of Bilad Al Sham.
Their lyrics, often performed in both Arabic and English, touch on themes of freedom, struggle, and celebration, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide. Renowned for their energetic live performances, 47SOUL creates an atmosphere of unity and collective joy, addressing issues of identity, displacement, and the ongoing struggle for justice in their homeland. This mix of potent lyrical content and irresistible rhythms makes their concerts profound cultural experiences.

MXK
MXK is a Toronto-based Lebanese DJ/producer and drummer who makes sounds for self-expression. Inspired by his roots in metal drumming and re-discovering his connection to the sounds of his native region, MXK produces electronic music that captures the essence of both worlds that make him feel and move.
In 2024, MXK made a strong entrance onto the electronic music scene with the release of his debut 3-track EP “Are We Dreaming?” on STRND records. The EP climbed to the number 7 spot on the Top Melodic Techno and House releases on Beatport, placing MXK on their “On Our Radar 2024” playlist for the genre.
Looking ahead, MXK has his sights set on creating art that reimagines the relationship between electronic music and his culture. His second EP, set to release in the fall of 2024, will aim to showcase just that.
