About
We are a non-profit organization celebrating musical traditions in harmony with digital remix art.
Our mission is to counter cultural erasure by connecting traditional musicians, remix artists, and storytellers to create collaborative experiences that honor ancestral knowledge, build cross-cultural understanding, and expand economic opportunities for underrepresented artists.
Otherwise we are lost.
Growing up in Morocco, surrounded by sounds of the country’s Arabic, Amazigh, and Sub-Saharan African origins, Hatim was an award-winning classical pianist and heavy metal guitarist. At Harvard, he traded in his headbanging to study sociology, jazz, composition, and ethnomusicology, but found a passion in
electronic music – a medium that enabled him to combine his eclectic influences. For the next decade, while developing a prestigious career at Apple, Hatim composed, produced, and performed in various solo and collaborative music projects.
In 2012, Hatim felt a strong calling to pursue his vision of bringing people together through music, and resigned from his senior management position at Apple to devote himself to creating Remix ⟷ Culture. His journey with the organization has since taken him and his growing number of collaborators around the world, whether filming and recording traditional musicians, leading workshops, or performing live video remixes at festivals (notably Roskilde and WOMEX). Hatim is currently based in Brooklyn, NY, where a vast trove of thriving and interwoven cultures keeps him inspired to continue bridging divides and connecting disparate communities through the power of music, remix, and storytelling.

Conrad Clifton is a Brooklyn-based music producer, composer, DJ and photographer. He creates music that is genre fluid - seamlessly blending elements of hip-hop and electronic music. And with a passion for film photography, he specializes in portraits, lifestyle and events.
Conrad believes creativity is free flowing, and shouldn't be limited to just one medium. As a music producer, he has major film and TV placements with Warner Bros., DC Films, HBO, Netflix, Nike, Starz, MTV, Dr. Martens and more. Winner of the Independent Music Award for BEST DANCE/ELECTRONIC EP, Conrad’s music has received support from The FADER, Magnetic Magazine, BBC Radio 1xtra, Kitsuné Musique and others. He was recently awarded Editors’ Pick for Life Framer: Urban Life Photography Competition, for his image ‘Xeara Tiara’. Also, the collaborative short film 'LAYERS' - for which he starred in and composed the original score - is an Official Selection for the La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival, as well as the Berlin Fashion Film Festival.
His new photography book and exhibition, ‘Act Like I’m Not Here’ was recently on display at Galerie Kitsuné in Brooklyn, and he continues to express himself, shooting music artists and events in NYC - as well as composing custom music for movie trailers.
Tyler Wood was born and raised in rural northern Maine. By age 5 he'd fallen in love with playing and recording music, and was making original albums with his brother on a boombox tape recorder. Before too long Tyler was performing professionally as a pianist, and also began a parallel career as an audio engineer and producer. A decade ensued of touring and making records with artists including Chester French,
Joan As Policewoman, Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic), Glass Ghost, and Oh My Goodness. Tyler's work has encompassed a wide range of music from avant-garde to pop to traditional. His openness has led him in many directions, some very technologically oriented, but he has always maintained a passion for capturing a pure human performance-- a moment's music in a moment's time. When Hatim Belyamani sought Tyler's advice on early Remix ⟷ Culture work, Tyler fell in love with the music and was refreshed by the intimacy and vitality of the recordings. Tyler happily joined the trip to Morocco in spring 2014, and has been Remix ⟷ Culture's chief audio engineer and audio director ever since.
