Based in Amman, the capital of Jordan, Zaed Naes (زائد ناقص) consistently avoids any kind of pigeonholing by blending inspirations as diverse as the modern indie/electronic/trip-hop/EDM package on the one hand, and soulful vintage styles on the other.

With Arab music somewhere behind all those influences, the trio’s cosmopolitanism finds a great incarnation in their recent song, aptly titled “Shattiet” (شتيت), which could be translated as “Miscellaneous”.
