We are happy to introduce another FvF Contributor who enhances us not just with her writing skills but also with her excellent music taste. Natasha Jane Stallard has introduced us to personalities on FvF such as Lamia Choucair, Maria Kassab and Maya Mounme & Hatem Imam in Beirut. After living in the Lebanese capital “the bad boy you can never change, but fall in love with him anyway”, Natasha Jane – well-known as “NJ” – moved to Dubai where she now works as editor for the independent Middle Eastern urban culture magazine Brownbook. fvf-mixtape-cover-62-NatashaStallard-squareBesides being on the look out for inspiring people and content for FvF, Natasha has a love of music. After mentioning her musical inspiration in the FvF Contributor Introduction we knew she would be a suitable candidate for compiling a very special FvF mix tape – the first of its kind – for us. All-time-favorites from artists such as Timbaland, Mos Def and Cassie accompany new sounds from Beirut & Cairo, rip-offs of Arabic rhythms, Algerian blues and old school Iraqi beats. Ignore the autumn blues and let this outstanding mix heat you up. يمتع نفسه !
