Beirut is Arabia’s gate to the world (especially the western world). beirutbiloma is the cutting-edge sound of Arabia – the meeting and fusion of Arabia’s authentic sounds with international music, especially chillout, dance, & R&B, Electro, Trance and like many creatively adventurous international acts it features promising and exciting talents: singers, DJs, arrangers, and musicians.
In 2000 Mohamad composed and produced the enigmatic dance anthem “Drive me to Beirut”, which was to be released in several mixes on white label independently in 2001 in Beirut under the name Biloma. The name was inspired by Mohamad’s two sons: Bilal and Omar. This single was to be the highest new entry in Beirut’s Radio One, reaching number 2 in the radio’s Top 20 charts. The single was later to find its way on the internationally successful compilation “ARABIA Nights Club & Chillout Classics” released by EMI Music In 2002.
beirutbiloma was to be pioneering a new music production formula in the Middle East. It was basically to be a faceless (very un-pop idol) conceptual act driven by Mohamed’s engineering/production skills, with various featured artists like Lix and Tarek Sidani. The act was very much the result of teamwork by various people.
beirutbiloma’s debut album. The album included 14 tracks, being a mixture of originals, Arabic classics remakes, remixes, and featured various guest artists including the young rapper Lix , Beirut underground rap act Aks’ser, and the international soprano Sarah Brightman. Moreover the album was very varied in its style, including club, lounge/chillout and R&B. off course it included the hit single “Drive me to Beirut” in as a new and improved version titled “Take me to Beirut”.
“B-sides”, an EP, was released in March 2004, and included dance mixes of “X-ray” & “Take me to Beirut” by some of the hottest DJs in Beirut including DJ Dany, DJ Supreme, & DJ Said Mrad.
With influences ranging from the rich Turkish fusion sounds like Tarkan & Mustafa Sandal to French electronica acts like Air and Ahmad Medzawey (producer of Madonna), beirutbiloma’s philosophy is to produce crossover and eclectic Middle Easter music regardless of genre making it a maker rather than a follower of fashion.

some of its new remixes of Arabic classics by various artists.
