Kiss Facility

The duo—comprising Emirati-Egyptian singer Mayah Alkhateri and Irish-Chilean producer Salvador Navarrete, who works under his stage name Sega Bodega with artists such as Björk and Rosalía—blends ethereal guitar textures, Arabic vocal traditions, and futuristic club music into a soundscape that is as intimate as it is haunting.

Their debut album “KHAZNA”—Arabic for “treasure chamber” or “vault”—released in 2026, explores the hidden: love, liberation, memory, and self-transformation. Created at the intersection of sound, image, and performance, the duo weaves personal mythologies with spiritual questions of intimacy, protection, and belonging.

What begins as shoegaze evolves into a distinct musical language where Arabic poetry, dream pop, club music, and experimental electronica converge.

Pitchfork describes “KHAZNA” as “a stunning millennial take” on shoegaze that transforms the influences of the past twenty years into a completely new form. This leads “to a beautiful, unexpected result.”

For Mayah Alkhateri, Kiss Facility is both a place of hope and self-determination. Above all, she sees her music as a soundtrack for the freedom of oppressed women.

“Genre saboteurs who blur the boundaries until all that remains is a haunting, strangely luminous feeling—the result is magnificent” (Dazed).
