Launch Event for
50/50 and Supersonic
at Liwan
Live Event April 25, 2025 at Liwan Design Studios and Labs, Doha, Qatar
On April 25, 2025, Doha-based electronic duo and record label Sonic Jeel launched two new vinyl albums—50/50 and Supersonic—with a special evening of live performances, spoken word, and DJ sets at Liwan Design Studios and Labs. The event marked the culmination of two distinct sonic journeys and showcased the duo’s ongoing collaborations with both local and international artists.
The evening began with a spatial ambient sonorization, followed by a live set by Shawky, a musician and artist known for experimental vocals. Performances of the two albums followed: Supersonic (by Michael Hersrud and Simone Muscolino) and 50/50 (by Silai Estatira and Dr. G). The night concluded with a DJ set by artist, poet, and fashion designer Cheb Moha, presented in collaboration with the ongoing Sonic Jeel Vinyl Archive project.
As part of the event, Sonic Jeel collaborated with new media artist Hadeer Omar for live projection design and partnered with experimental publisher Water With Water to produce custom event merchandise.
