Born in Bahrain but based in East London, Faux Arab is a DJ that takes his love of electronic music and channels it into energetic mixes that will constantly get you up on your feet and feeling the rhythm. Having first experienced the electronic music scene in 2016, Faux Arab’s music taste has evolved through the years and has finally landed on a blend of fast-paced techno, broken beats, and a mixture of playful and futuristic electro.

In recent years Faux Arab has taken inspiration from brands such as Teletech, Unfold, and Tech Couture, and to reflect that he is going to show off his heavier side in this mix, compiling a track list of some of his favourite warehouse, acid, and psytrance tracks.

If you want to see the more genre-blending side to our Bahraini selector then check out his monthly residency on London’s Subtle Radio, or follow him on Instagram and watch the inevitable rise of this soon-to-be London staple, either way you won’t be disappointed with what you see.
