Emerging from the heart of Cairo’s vibrant underground scene, Egyptian producer Baset continues to solidify his place among melodic techno’s rising stars. With his latest release “Scumrun”, a dynamic collaboration with UK-based artist Nick Matthew, Baset delivers a high-energy, emotionally charged track that feels tailor-made for open-air festivals and late-night dance floors.
Released via Zamna Records, “Scumrun” is more than just a seasonal banger — it’s a sonic statement. Built on a foundation of pulsating rhythms, dreamy synth layers, and tightly controlled tension, the track strikes a delicate balance between introspection and adrenaline. It’s the type of record that pulls listeners in with melody and keeps them locked in with movement — the hallmark of any great melodic techno experience.

A Rising Force from Cairo
Baset’s journey has been nothing short of impressive. In just a few years, he has gone from playing local gigs in Cairo’s tight-knit electronic scene to becoming a name to watch in the global melodic circuit. His signature sound — emotive, cinematic, and driven — has found resonance beyond borders, earning support from respected DJs and labels across Europe and the Middle East.
With “Scumrun,” Baset taps into a new level of maturity in his production. His partnership with Nick Matthew is seamless, each producer bringing their own voice while remaining in full sync. The result is a track that feels both powerful and personal — ready for peak-time moments but also rich in atmosphere.
Built for the Dancefloor (and the Headphones)
“Scumrun” isn’t just another techno track — it’s a track with purpose. The song’s name evokes movement, and the production mirrors that sense of momentum. With a tempo that drives forward without feeling rushed, and a sound design that elevates rather than overwhelms, it’s the perfect addition to playlists that prioritize both energy and emotional connection.
Whether dropped in a DJ set at sunrise or streamed on a solitary walk, “Scumrun” has the kind of depth that translates across environments. It celebrates motion, resilience, and the power of collaboration.
The Team Behind the Vision
The release is rounded out by an impressive creative team. The artwork, designed by Altrimage, captures the visual energy of the track, while mastering engineer Julia Borelli ensures every detail hits with precision. The executive production team — Andrea Arcangeli and Gigi Urso — adds a layer of polish, and the track is distributed by Muting The Noise, a label known for curating cutting-edge electronic releases.
As the summer of 2025 heats up, Baset’s “Scumrun” is perfectly positioned to be one of the tracks that defines the season. For a producer who’s always aimed to bridge emotion and energy, this release proves he’s not just on the rise — he’s running full speed ahead.
