Likwid Productions

Tired of the horrible standard of the clubbing scene in Bahrain, Karim Miknas and then partner Ken D’Souza set about creating a space they dreamed of and in June 2000 the now legendary Likwid was born. An amalgamation of bar, lounge and club, Likwid pushed the boundaries of the DJ and the live music scenes beyond any other venue in the history of clubbing on our fair island. Studio quality powerfu

l sound, an amazing bar and design that was on the edge for years;
Likwid was all that and more. It was a place for an open-minded crowd to really let go and become enveloped in the spirit of the music. Alas, all good things come to an end or evolve and with the closing of Likwid in November 2007, a new beast was born. Level took over the under-ground scene immediately, launching 2 regional DJ residencies with Baloo of Riyadh and Jade of Beirut, as well as Mr.K and his monthly international DJ guests continuing the good work that started in 2000. But Karim quickly became dissatisfied with the wishy-washy laws governing club land and the way they were being applied and decided less than a year and ahalf later to shut down Level, sell his interest in the commercial venue below, Club Seven and move on again. Another evolution and the birth of Likwid Sound System with a custom made full-on mobile DJ booth plus rigging and lighting equipment to rival even the best of what BJ’s, Seven and Level put together used to boast! With this new move the very best of 10 years of dedication moved to the Coral Beach Club. Today the final renovations are testament to a decade of pure, absolute quality music. Karim Miknas.
