Today, Incognito is producing artists from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Egypt. Through this network, Incognito distributes its own productions as well as other local alternative labels and self-produced artists, establishing itself as the first network for the distribution of alternative cultural products in the Arab countries.
In each of the above-mentioned countries, Incognito is seeking to establish privileged relations with local strategic partners who are already implemented in the cultural scene of their country. Each of these entities is helping Incognito build its network to reach its target audience in the right outlets and mainly outside of the “regular” distribution channels.
