Italian/Lebanese based in the Netherlands DJ, producer, songwriter, label owner and event promoter Fady Ferraye has not had a normal upbringing for an artist. As a youngster growing up under the bombs of the Lebanese civil war, with access to his uncle’s vast record collection, he learned to shuttle his gigs from one shelter to another while staying in the mix. An unconventional start to a career that has heard him share his sound in more than 20 countries he visited around the world. 

Based in Amsterdam since 2006, his tracks have been released on important Progressive House labels around the globe: Manual, Particles (Proton), Audio Therapy (Dave Seaman's label), Frisky, Baroque, and Per-Vurt, to name a few. His works are regularly played by world celebrity DJs including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, Dave Seaman, and John Digweed. Cid-Inc, Facundo Mohrr, Dimitri Andreas, Chris Fortier, Pole Folder, Paul Sawyer, Silinder, Eelke Kleijn and Kiko are among the artists that have remixed Fady’s tracks. 
Fady’s axis was formed by his two residencies: At legendary party scene Club NL in Amsterdam (since 2005), and at top-50 ranked legendary club BO18 in Beirut (1999-2013), Fady is considered as one of the first pioneers of Electronic Dance Music in Lebanon and the Middle East. From there he shuttled across Europe, and Asia, unobtrusive, shunning the hoopla, peddling his hypnotic mix. Countries he played in: Germany, The Netherlands, Croatia, Belgium, France, Serbia, Greece, Romania, Armenia, Turkey, India, U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrein, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and of course Lebanon. 

In 2011 he was chosen by the renowned Dutch mag JFK as man of the month, and later that same year he appeared as a special guest on Bridget Maasland's famous show on Dutch TV RTL4 "Hoe Houd Ik Het Spannend". 

Fady appeared on many big festivals, Sensation in Belgrade, A day At The Park and Vrij Festival in Amsterdam, Prana Petra Festival in Jordan, Tomorrowland in Lebanon, and Festival Of Colors to name a few. 

Hurly Burly is Fady’s current signature evening at Club NL since 2008 developed with his buddy DJ, television personality and music lover Johnny de Mol, it is an unpredictable wild and moving musical evening at which any of their DJ friends come in and share the booth, like Sander Kleinenberg, Sasha, Nhar, Eelke Kleijn, Oliver Schories, Nick Warren and many others. Beautiful people outside line up early just to be a part of the Hurly Burly.
Which, by the way, is also the name of Fady's monthly radio show (since 2005) on New York based internet radio station Frisky Radio. 

This man loves dance music. He will move your soul. The words leave off here. Take a listen.
