No stranger to the game, Ahmed Samy has been building his reputation by consistently providing a fresh take on the local electronic music scene through his infamously danceable sets. Through 20 years of DJing and after his pivotal residency at -now closed down- Cairo club Vent, he has managed to procure a dedicated cult-like following eager to get lost in his stripped-down grooves.

Samy owes his unique soundscapes to old school Vinyl mixing and decades of collecting records from all over the world. Through his mentorship program Strictly Vinyl, he has managed to share his knowledge with a new generation of DJs reviving the dying art of vinyl mixing in a young but rapidly growing scene.

Now, Samy is reaping the benefits of years of hard work and can be found headlining Cairo's top clubs every weekend. He has managed to reach an international audience through his Boiler Room set and has been booked both regionally and globally in 2019 sharing the bill with acts like Francesco Del Garda, Evan Baggs, Ryan Elliot, Domenico Rosa, Fumiya Tanaka, DJ Masda, Cabanne, and Sonja Moonear to name a few.

Samy is now a resident DJ in the city's popular club nights, and puts on his promoter hat to curate No Name; an intimate night focused on quality bookings from both the local and international scene.

Isaiah Rashad doesn’t look back. Instead, he never stops moving forward. That’s why the internet has tried so hard to keep up since the Chattanooga, TN-born and Los Angeles-based artist emerged in 2012. After one seismic appearance after another throughout 2013, he formally introduced himself with 2014’s Cilvia Demo. XXL named him among its prestigious “Freshman Class,” while the project earned a rare score of 8.2 from Pitchfork. Just two years later, his full-length debut, The Sun’s Tirade, bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 and closed out 2016 on over a dozen year-end lists, including UPROXX, L.A. Weekly, Inverse, Stereogum, Pop Matters, Pigeons & Planes, Pitchfork, and more. In between sold out shows coast-to-coast and racking up nearly 500 million total streams, he quietly stared down his demons out of the spotlight. By the time he dove back into music, life had changed. The process switched up, so he realigned and linked up with new collaborators such as Kenny Beats. Ready to break a five-year creative silence, he returns with his second full-length album The House Is Burning[Top Dawg Entertainment], including the single “Lay Wit Ya” [feat. Duke Deuce]. While the house is burning, Isaiah’s running forward at full steam once again. Try to catch up.
