Lebanese-born and Montreal-based for over 20 years, Karim has been DJing since 2009, exploring a wide spectrum of genres and musical expressions. His journey into nightlife and mixing began with Trance, which first ignited his passion for DJing. Over time, his sound evolved toward Progressive House and Techno, notably through a duo project that saw him perform at well-known Montreal venues such as Time, Koko Lounge, and Karma.

Karim’s musical identity is deeply shaped by his personal influences, drawing heavily from rock, funk, and disco, with a particular fondness for iconic 80s artists including Rick James, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Prince, George Clinton, and Sade. His selections are further enriched by a love for old-school hip hop (Nate Dogg, J Dilla, Slick Rick, A Tribe Called Quest) as well as Reggae and Dub.

In 2021, Karim joined GotSoul Records, during which he held residencies at notable venues such as Marcus Four Seasons and Nacarat at the Fairmont Hotel, alongside various other spots across Montreal.

Alongside his solo work, he co-founded the DJ duo collective Beiroots Groove Ensemble with Anthony Saade, a project rooted in groove-driven, cross-genre selections.

Since 2022, Karim has been performing independently under the alias Dusty FingerZ, while continuing his collaboration with Beiroots Groove Ensemble. Dusty FingerZ currently holds a weekly residency every Friday at Baby Far West, as well as monthly residencies at Sans Soleil and Salon Badin, in addition to various pop-up events around the city.

Stay tuned for upcoming gigs and mixes.

While traveling through 80's fatback deep funk and 90's GU chitown grooves, a renaissance of rhythms in danger of extinction merges with the jazzy soul of a young mexican-canadian living in Montreal.
