MRAK — The King of Melodic Techno’s Emotional Storytelling
At the heart of this monumental night is MRAK, the solo project of Carmine Conte—one half of Tale Of Us and the visionary architect behind much of the emotional and aesthetic world that reshaped the global electronic scene. In recent years, MRAK has carved a path that stands distinctly apart from any other artist, positioning him as one of the most influential storytellers in modern electronic music.
What defines MRAK’s dominance is not volume or theatrics, but precision, emotion, and narrative mastery. His performances unfold like cinematic journeys, with long arcs of tension, beautifully woven melodies, and transitions that feel less like mixing and more like choreography. Each track is a chapter, each progression a plot twist. The result is a level of immersion that few artists can achieve—crowds don’t simply dance to MRAK; they surrender to the story he tells.
His flawless execution on stage has earned him a reputation worldwide as a true master of melodic techno. Every moment is intentional, every sound placed with purpose. The emotional impact he delivers is unmatched, which is why many fans and industry figures refer to him as the king of the melodic techno genre.
Zamna Sharm’s setting—open desert air, monumental staging, futuristic lighting—elevates his artistry even further. For many, MRAK will not only be the highlight of Day 2; he will be the defining emotional moment of the entire festival.

The duo’s ability to transition seamlessly between deep atmosphere and soaring melody makes them a critical pillar of Day 2. Their performance will bridge the immersive, story-driven world of MRAK with the high-energy powerhouses that follow. In the midst of festival chaos, Mind Against deliver clarity, depth, and refined emotional control. Their presence adds weight to the lineup—reinforcing that Day 2 isn’t just about energy, but about musical sophistication and timeless artistry.

ARTBAT — The Festival Powerhouses Returning to Dominate
When it comes to delivering peak-time euphoria, ARTBAT remain one of the most impactful acts in the global scene. The Ukrainian duo have mastered the art of creating massive festival moments: grand melodies, dramatic build-ups, explosive drops, and a sound engineered for thousands of hands in the air.
Their return to Egypt for Zamna Sharm brings an added layer of excitement. ARTBAT have long been favourites across the region, consistently delivering unforgettable performances and some of the most viral festival moments of the last decade. Their sound is larger than life—emotionally intense, physically powerful, and instantly recognizable.
At Day 2, ARTBAT are expected to push the energy to its absolute peak. Their set will be the high-voltage chapter of the night—full of movement, anticipation, and cathartic release. If MRAK provides the emotional gravity and Mind Against the introspective depth, ARTBAT bring the eruption that turns the night into pure festival magic.

Balancing the legends on the lineup is ASAL, a rising star whose sound is reshaping the future of the melodic techno movement. His style is bold, fast, and emotionally charged—built on sharp percussive detail, energetic progressions, and drops that ignite the crowd instantly.
ASAL represents the new generation: fearless, experimental, and full of momentum. His ability to merge melodic sensitivity with raw power makes him one of the most exciting emerging acts of the moment. At Zamna Sharm, he has the perfect stage to solidify his identity and introduce himself to thousands of new fans.
