“My latest single ‘Haraka’ features the notorious singer Egyptian Saad Soghayar. The topline is taken from one of the biggest tracks, ‘Hatgawez’, which is well known in the Middle Eastern world for being one of the most played tracks at any wedding since the 2000s. Combining my love for Jungle and Arabic music to bring you all my own taste with high energy and celebration to the dancefloor”, said moktar, speaking to Dance Wax about his first release of the year.
