Jaffa Phonix is a Palestinian band whose music consists of electronica, hip hop and big beat. The previous band members are Khalil (composer/vocalist), Ali (lyricist/vocalist), DJ Feedo (turntablist).[1] After several live performances, the band started to deviate from hip hop to a style which combined big beat and dance instrumentals with varied lyrical elements.[2]

Jaffa Phonix first emerged from the underground hip/hop scene in Egypt,[3] and garnered mainstream recognition after a track from their first album, "Osti" (My Story), was played on the Egypt's biggest radio station, Nile FM.[4]

The band's performance took place in Cairo, November 24, 2006, was in front of almost 15,000 people at the second SOS music festival.[5][6][7]
