An emblematic artist of the Palestinian underground scene, SAMA’ is one of the first DJs and electronic music producers to emerge from the region. Her sound, an original punchy kind of techno, is dry and musical all at once and has quickly made its way across Europe and beyond.
 
SAMA, meaning ‘sky’ in Arabic, started mixing in 2006 in parties around Ramallah, Palestine. Several years later she started producing her own music and expanding her interest in synthesis in 2010, with a focus on techno, house, and other deeper sub-genres of electronic music.
 
The artist graduated from the United Kingdom with a BSc in Audio Engineering and Music Production, then moved to Cairo where she worked as a sound designer for film, became a music producer and then instructor. SAMA’ now runs her own Audio Engineering & Sound Design company working across films and documentaries in the Middle East. In 2017, she was selected as a Laureate by the French Institute, and during that time attended a residency at the International City of Arts in Paris. SAMA’ also runs a publishing company called Awyav, representing independent artists from the Arab world.
 
In late 2018, SAMA’s Boiler Room performance and the associated documentary about the scene in Palestine went viral and more and more people are seeing that music has no boundaries. SAMA’ was recently listed in SheSaid.So’s Alternative Power 100 List, and plays a high-profile set at Ibiza’s World Heritage Site of Dalt Vila for the International Music Summit in late May. She is currently working on a studio album.

Much more than a DJ, she is a unifying element of music herself – merging people of different scenes, as the music she plays does exactly that. Even more than 15 years down, for her, this is the most important reason for still loving what she does. A passion, that manifested over the years in psychedelic, hypnotic sets at Berlin's influential locations including Sisyphos and Mensch Meier. She enjoys immersing herself in the electronic and psychedelic vibes playing at the most amazing festivals, such as Mo:Dem as a resident, Boom, Ozora, Masters of Puppets, Waldfrieden and Bucht der Träumer Festival, to name a few favorites. Not only in the founding of the connecting platform xXETEXx, but also in every single event, there is real lifeblood, audible and tangible. Whether you find her in front of or behind the decks. 

AYJO
Typically for Josephine, she simply loves good music - across the boundaries of genre or bpm. Which makes her AYJO project the perfect complementation for her to inspire the crowd with a psychedelic twist. Expect the unexpected! 


She conceives that ‘Music is without borders, unlimited by genre, it’s simply a representation of taste’.

Born from friendship, late-night voice notes, and a tiny DIY setup, Share3 el Sukkar began in Amman in 2014 and has been shaped overseas since 2016. An ongoing collaboration between @hosam-omran and @razan-abou-askar, the duo create from their home studios with no limits on Arabic dialect, just honest voices, shared memories, and a spirit of making music their own way. Their songs carry listeners across borders and into their world of gentle connection and creative freedom.
