<p>Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora. Over the last 5 years, their dance parties in New York City and Montreal have carved out an unmatched place in North American nightlife, becoming an anticipated social gathering and unique musical experience. Each party takes you on a genre-spanning journey, highlighting the incredible musical diversity, depth and richness that comes out of the region. Laylit has established its place on the scene with a signature electronic sound blending shaabi, dabke, mahraganat, Arabic pop and hip-hop with contemporary, boundary pushing club music (techno, breakbeat, hyperpop, Baile, Jersey, UKG etc.) inspired by New York and Montreal’s thriving underground clubs. Featured in multiple publications including the New York Times and Pitchfork, Laylit celebrated its 5-year anniversary last year with Boiler Room events in NYC and Montreal and a tour across multiple North American cities.  Laylit values inclusivity and unity across cultures, languages, dialects, religions, identity and sexual orientations.</p>
