My set recorded at the intimate Katerblau. Deep, dark and rolling..

Bart Skils @ Katerblau Berlin [04-03-2017]

On my first trip to Palestine in November 2017, El Oddz (Radio Nard) told me  that there is a palestinian techno dj and producer who goes by the name of Sama. I did not know about her before, so i was really flashed as 27-year old Sama Abdulhadi aka سماء 'SAMA basically started the whole underground electronic movement there and started mixing in 2006 at parties around Ramallah, Palestine. In 2013 she started her career in Cairo as an Audio Engineer, Music Producer, Audio Trainer and Sound Designer for films. In 2017, as she was about to settle in Paris, SAMA’ decided to change her artist name from Skywalker to SAMA’ her first name, meaning „sky“ in Arabic. Since April 2018, as she was selected as a Laureate by the French Institute, SAMA’ is attending a six months residency at the International City of Arts in Paris, during which she will work on her next album and develop a new live show.

You can catch سماء 'SAMA deejaying in April 2018 in Paris, Berlin, Ramallah and Betlehem. In May 2018 she is invited to play Electropicales #10 in La Reunion and at the end of June she will nourish the freaks at the main stage of Fusion Festival in Germany. 

I feel more than honored to be able to present you her exclusive contribution to our sama recordings mix series.

Here is a take back to the set I played at the Ballroom Blitz in Beirut. One of my favourite gigs in one of my favourite cities. The city that got me into techno, with the most amazing vibe of a crowd

Thank you Beirut,
I will definitely see you soon ;)

I was extremely honored to be featured on the legendary Essential Mix show this summer...  When I was in college, my teacher used to play us Essential Mixes in class, and on the 20th anniversary of the show,  Pete Tong was hosting James Zabiela and Sasha at the Warehouse Project in Manchester. I was the first one in the queue and the last one to leave the club! I will never forget that night. This year I had the honor of meeting Pete Tong at IMS Ibiza, and I think you can imagine how overwhelming it was to be invited to record a set for the show.  Here is my Essential Mix. I hope you enjoy it

In the MOOD - Episode 326 - Sama’ Abdulhadi Takeover

Sama Abdulhadi DJ set - Monegros Desert Festival Beatport Live.mp3

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.
