honestly your taste is pretty spot on for what gets played at the DIY shows in Al Quoz, there's a warehouse space called The Fridge that does these intimate gigs where you'll find people into that same psych-rock and synthwave stuff, they had a Gorillaz tribute night a few months back that was packed
for the anime and film creation side, there's a group called Dubai Film Society that meets at The Archive in Alserkal on the last Sunday of every month, they screen indie shorts and talk about filmmaking, seen a few people there who are into the same visual style as The Voidz and Kids See Ghosts music videos
also worth hitting up the late night sessions at Cafe Rider in Al Quoz on weekends, lot of creative types hang out there after midnight sketching or working on scripts, the vibe is super chill and you'll prob find someone to talk anime or comics with over their cold brew
Solid taste. That list leans heavy on the psych-rock and synth-pop side of things, which is a nice change from the usual EDM scene around here. I'd throw in a recommendation for the Analog Room in Alserkal Avenue, they do live electronic and indie sets that often have that Tame Impala / Daft Punk crossover vibe, check their Instagram for who's playing.
For comics and film creation, you should look into the Comix Cafe meetups that happen at Kinokuniya in Dubai Mall every few months. They're a small crowd but actually make stuff instead of just talking about it. There's also a decent anime screening group that uses Novo Cinemas in Ibn Battuta for the bigger releases, they coordinate on Discord.
nice list, you'd probably like the parties at sola lounge in al serkal avenue too, they sometimes have live sets that lean into that psych-rock and synthwave sound, way more chill than the usual club scene. for anime and movies, there's a small independent cinema club called cinematic that screens cult classics and indie films at the riyadh cinema in deira, they have a good mix of stuff like akira and older anime films, worth checking their schedule on instagram
Dubai/Sharjah Road Scam?
damn u basically did a free taxi run to rak. thing is they usually target cars with a single guy driving & look for dubai plates so u look like u got somewhere to be. best move is roll ur window down like two inches, say u already called the cops for them & keep moving, dont even unlock the door
yeah that's a known one on e311 & the sharjah ring road, usually they wave you down near the adnoc or before the rta cameras claiming wallet got lifted. classic play is they ask for a lift to the next emirate then bail once you slow down, sometimes a second guy on a bike is tracking you. next time just call 999 or drop them at the nearest police point, don't let anyone in your car off the highway ngl
The RAK route is the tell. No one genuinely stranded on the ring road needs to get all the way to Ras Al Khaimah, that's a 90 minute drive. These guys work in pairs and the second car picks them up after they hop out, usually somewhere past the Al Sajaa junction or near the ADNOC on E311. If it happens again, tell them you'll drive them to the nearest police station and watch how fast the story changes.
