Producer/Dj

I draw inspiration from my Lebanese roots, blending the vibrant essence of Middle Eastern rhythms into both my productions and DJ sets. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, I aim to create hypnotic, high energy experiences that keep the dancefloor moving. With pulsating beats, intricate sound design, and a touch of mystique, I invite listeners to lose themselves in the music.

I am SCRAT&SID, 

The architect of the unstoppable rhythm

Music isn't just a passion for me; it's my language, my lifeblood, and my connection to the world. For as long as I can remember, I've always been a whirlwind of energy, an unstoppable force in search of new sounds, sensations, and experiences. I can't conceive of life without movement, without that inner vibration that drives me to create, mix, and transform music into an experience that goes beyond the auditory: it's pure adrenaline, sensuality, and a journey into the unknown.

My sound is an explosive mix of futuristic rhythms, spatial atmospheres, and grooves designed to make the body unable to resist moving. I love playing with hypnotic synthesizers, deep bass lines, and soul-stirring percussion. Every set I play, every track I create, is an invitation to lose yourself in the rhythm, to surrender to the music without restrictions, without fear, without pause.

The origins of a restless soul

Since I was a child, I've always had an extraordinary energy. While others found comfort in calm, I needed movement, constant stimulation. I discovered my love for electronic music at underground parties, where the beats resonated like a magnetic force I couldn't ignore. I fell in love with that feeling of collective euphoria, with the way music could transform space and time, turning any place into a parallel universe.

A sound of the future with a sensual essence

My style is a unique combination of vibrant techno, hypnotic house, and elements of space music. I'm inspired by the future, the mystery of the universe, the exploration of the unknown. But I'm also obsessed with the body, with the way rhythm can ignite the senses, provoke desire, and turn dancing into an almost ecstatic experience.

Every beat I select, every sound I design, is designed to make the body surrender to the music. I'm not satisfied with just making people dance; I want them to feel every frequency running through their skin, to let themselves be carried away by the groove, to experience an explosion of dopamine and pure energy in every mix.

The power of inexhaustible energy

I'm a person who can't stay still. My mind is always moving, exploring new ways to take my music to the next level. I don't settle for the basics; I'm constantly looking to merge influences, break structures, and create something fresh, something that makes people lose control on the dance floor.

My sets are pure adrenaline, a roller coaster of emotions where every transition is a surprise, every drop an electric shock. I love seeing how people let themselves go, how their bodies instinctively respond to the rhythm, without thinking, just feeling. That moment when the dance floor becomes a living organism, synchronized with the beat, is my greatest addiction.

Beyond music: an immersive experience

I don't see music as a product, but as a complete experience. My artistic identity is not limited to what I play or produce, but to the atmosphere I create with each performance. I'm obsessed with futuristic aesthetics, visuals that transport you to another dimension, lighting effects that turn the dance floor into a galaxy of color and movement.

I want my audience to feel like they've entered another universe, where the rules of time and space disappear and only the present, the moment, the vibration remain. Each show is a multisensory journey, an invitation to immerse yourself in an alternate reality where anything is possible.

The path to conquering sound

I'm here to leave my mark on the electronic music scene. It doesn't matter if it's in an underground club, a massive festival, or a secret event somewhere in the world: my mission is to make people feel the music the way I feel it, with the same intensity, the same madness, and overflowing passion.

My journey is just beginning, but my energy is inexhaustible. I'm building a unique sound, an unmistakable.
