Life Crate 03
PhonoSapien was another side of DJ Lethal Skillz, taking the story beyond hip hop and turntablism into visual art, spirituality, martial arts and the world of Dragon Temple. This chapter traces that strange creative path from Beirut to Malaysia, and the collaboration with Atomsk that helped bring the vision to life.
Life Crate 02
Before 961 Underground had a name, a generation of DJs, MCs, writers, breakers and graffiti artists were already building an underground culture in Beirut. This chapter looks back at that scene from my perspective, and at the people, records, places and connections that eventually became part of 961 Underground.

1998 · BeirutWatch on YouTube
In 1998, I put my turntables in the middle of a Beirut intersection for a music video by Aks'es Seir. Shot on a small video camera with borrowed clothes, old DMC gear and a yellow Mustang, the footage later became something more than a music video: a document of Beirut and an early Lebanese hip hop scene.
