Melodies in the Dubai Mind

Dubai has become quite a travelers paradise lately, and the city attracts visitors from all over the world.  Some are drawn by the thriving cultural scene here, and some come to check out the hottest new music in some of the world’s best nightclubs.  Beaches are also an obvious draw, and their beauty is constantly stunning and rejuvenating.  Shopping is also at a premium, where you can see some of the coolest new fashions while enjoying the spectacular family entertainment.  For four star hotels, Dubai aims to please, displaying its magnificent arts of hospitality to offer you a lodging experience that can’t be beat.

After a short rest in our spectacularly decorated rooms, you’ll be refreshed and ready to sample some of the cuisine, prepared by master chefs who are skilled in classical and contemporary cooking techniques.  Then you’re ready to have your own adventure in Dubai, and the city offers many possibilities for pleasant distractions.  The music scene is really lively here, and you can hear nearly any kind of music imaginable.  There are plenty of international groups always coming through here, playing at clubs and festivals to contribute to the growing scene, and the local talent is pretty rough and ready as well.  There are lots of fine rock bands playing in all genres, from classic rock to head banging to alternative, and now Dubai has a new electronic music outfit called Melodies of the Mind.

This is a one-person affair, played and composed by Dubai’s Benjamin Ian Coutts, and it’s really lovely stuff.  He’s been playing locally, as well as a stint in France, and has an upcoming EP that’s sure to turn heads.  His production values are fantastic, and the melodies are catchy and very haunting.  If you get the chance to hear him playing out, by all means, have a listen.  There’s some thrilling work here, with exotic and sure-footed beats that add a splendid nuance to the urban Dubai experience.
