ZONE+ releases the ethereal house track ‘Forever’ via WTR
The single represents the Jeddah-based producer’s “balance and remedy to a beautiful life”
After numerous career releases on the likes of Anjunadeep, All Day I Dream and Akbal, Bahraini DJ ZONE+ makes his debut on WTR; a subsidiary label of MDLBEAST Records. His latest composition ‘Forever’ showcases just how skilful he is in crafting deep, ethereal iterations of electronic music, while still infusing the rhythmic structures typically found in organic, arabesque music.
"I have always been a supporter of MDLBEAST and its initiatives from the very beginning and it's my pleasure to release this special record on WTR,” he mentions. Launched in March 2022, the imprint aims to further introduce the enchanting blend of sounds traditionally found in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.

‘Forever’ is the perfect showpiece that illustrates the Saudi label’s intention. In this eagerly anticipated inaugural release, ZONE+ plays with the dynamicity of house music, replete with polyphonic textures, multifaceted rhythms, and a chugging groove that resounds through eight minutes of auditory pleasure. Also, don’t miss the iconic dialogue sample from the cult UK tv series, Skins, that adds to the delicate-yet-danceable atmosphere of the track.
“The story behind ‘Forever’ is that my love for music and passion to produce will always be present, as it is the balance and remedy to a beautiful life. This is the beginning of a long journey with WTR Records and I’m excited for future collaborations,” ZONE+ adds.
