Simulation Hypothesis's Upcoming Gigs:

Sun, 5 May '24
Transition Festival 2024 :: Open Trance Experience

Simulation Hypothesis is one of the projects by this versatile musician, especially focused on the psychedelic and experimental areas which still highly underestimated by most people. His work is constant in order to be a step ahead in experimentation without limiting himself to any rule.

Going into his world , you will find his own eclectic style in which a wide range of musical influences from different types of electronic music converge. These beats go from techno to trance, from minimal to dark. It isn´t short of melodic atmospheres, sometimes warm as  in a day on the countryside, and other times dark as from a big city.

This project has its own style, not easy to define, but always fresh and original. A hypnotic energy hides behind the apparent simplicity of his vibes.

Simulation Hypothesis always works with a do-it-yourself philosophy in mind. All sounds are recorded or synthesized  by himself. Acoustic kicks and snares are recorded and loaded in machines in order to be the heart of the rhythm in most of cuts.

His original samples come from analogic synthesizers for the bases, although also are virtuals for higher lines. Roland Juno, Nord Lead or Access Virus are some of the comercial synthesizers that you can hear in his works, as well as some homemade ones that he also uses in his live shows.

Obviously this philosophy of work does not let you work with banks of samples nor with other people´s samples as raw material. The vocal parts are not an exception. They are recorded in his studio. 

As an overall picture, a refined psychedelia can be distinguished; always deep and mental.

Most DJs play music. Kareem Raïhani creates experiences—deep, powerful and ecstatic, each one profound, electrifying, and never quite the same. No matter how many times you’ve danced to his sound, he’ll always take you somewhere new.
Often hailed as the "Shaman of Dance”, he is one of- if not, the most influential Ecstatic Dance Pioneer, he wasn’t just part of the birth of the Ecstatic Dance movement; he helped shape it. Bringing Ecstatic Dance to countless countries, he has been a key role in spreading this freeform dance experience across the globe. Kareem is widely considered as the founder of the European Ecstatic Dance sound, a signature fusion that has influenced not only Europe but ecstatic dance communities worldwide.
Born with Dutch/Moroccan roots and trained as a professional contemporary dancer in Amsterdam, Kareem first spoke through movement. But when he shifted from being on stage in theatres to leading the dance floor through sound, he found his true calling. For over two decades, Kareem has traveled the world, spreading the essence of Ecstatic Dance, being a driving force in the global conscious dance scene and setting dance floors ablaze with music that is unmistakably his. Many of his remixes have become essential Ecstatic Dance anthems, played by nearly every Ecstatic Dance DJ on the planet. Many dj’s have been inspired and influenced by his groundbreaking way of mixing diverse genres into one seamless, hypnotic flow. With his exceptional talent for mixing sounds, rhythms, and moods, Kareem has established himself as a true master of Ecstatic Dance embodying the movement in every cell.
And if you ask anyone who has danced for the first time to his sets, they’ll tell you most of the time the same thing: “We’ve done many Ecstatic Dances, but this... this was something else... beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.” His music isn’t just played—it’s felt. It’s a full-body, heart- opening, soul-shaking journey where deep tribal beats, futuristic rhythms, electrifying grooves and hypnotic melodies that feel like they were made just for you, merge into something truly authentic and often mentioned as transformational.
Kareem continues his mission: to dissolve boundaries, ignite transformation, and guide music and dance lovers to that sacred place where music, movement, and spirit become one. Always reaching for the moment the trance kicks in and the dancer becomes the dance. So if you ever find yourself dancing like never before, dissolving in the music yet more present than ever, you just might have been locked into the magic of Kareem Raïhani.
