This Saturday’s Select comes courtesy of Cairo-born Abu Dhabi-based selector Gloria Roffael. The house mix opens with minimal sounds and a driving 4/4 beat intersected with crisp hi-hats, before transitioning into an upbeat house, featuring vocal samples, light breaks, firm kicks and tunes by the likes of Fantastic Man and Pocket Beagle, as well as an unreleased slow burner by Egyptian house maestro Misty. 

Gloria has been keeping dancefloors on all their toes since 2018 with her unique blend of house and dreamy electronic beats. She has previously showcased at major regional festivals like Egypt’s Sandbox, at SceneNoise’s Selectbox, as well as Shorelines and Abu Dhabi’s Bred.
