Archive 2026
UAE Independent Music Archive 2026
Last year, we tracked 30+ independent music releases coming out of the UAE through this archive. From bedroom recordings and self-released EPs to club records, ambient experiments, indie bands, rap projects, and everything in between. The scene is growing in every direction and this archive is our small attempt to spotlight, and celebrate independent music from the UAE.
If you released music in 2026 or planning to release – we want to hear it. Add your release to the archive through this link.
This archive is built for the community, by the community.
