“Genre saboteurs, blurring the lines until all that’s left is a haunting, strangely luminous sensation — and the result is marvellous” (Dazed).
Kiss Facility are among the most exciting new voices in what is known as “Arabic shoegaze”. The duo of Emirati-Egyptian singer Mayah Alkhateri and Irish-Chilean producer Salvador Navarrete – who, under his stage name Sega Bodega, collaborates with artists such as Björk and Rosalía – blends ethereal guitar textures, Arabic vocal traditions and futuristic club music to create a soundscape that is as intimate as it is haunting.
Their debut album “KHAZNA” – Arabic for “treasure chamber” or “vault” – released in 2026, explores the hidden: love, liberation, memory and self-transformation. Created at the intersection of sound, image and performance, the duo weaves personal mythologies with spiritual questions of intimacy, protection and belonging. What begins as shoegaze evolves into a distinct musical language in which Arabic poetry, dream pop, club music and experimental electronica converge.
Pitchfork describes “KHAZNA” as “a stunning millennial take on the genre, sprinkled with electronic and rock influences bottled up over the past 20 years and poured generously into a brand-new form.” This leads “to a gorgeously unexpected effect”. For Mayah Alkhateri, Kiss Facility is both a place of hope and self-determination. Above all, she sees her music as a soundtrack for the freedom of oppressed women.
