Peak-time take-over!
Closing duties after Rafael Cerato at Beirut's weekly "rave" hall Recess. Usually used to doing extended sets til the end, but this was a nice treat: getting on at peak and sustaining the energy through sunrise to keep that crowd going til 7am. 
Would've gone on even longer but security were giving me "the look" so wrapped it up for them to head home and we continued to another afterhours ;)
A lot more coming from Recess&  UFO the rooftop this summer!!

Live@Recess Beirut Late Morning Set April 22, 2023

Kept a moody tone on this one. Been enjoying drivey techno bass with sexy vocal backings. Longer song than usual too.....

Pictures In My Head  The Delegate

#PullOfTheNight

#devsays – “Not every drift is lost. Some are chosen.”

Track Details: 150 BPM, Progressive House × Ambient Electronica  
Vocal: Instrumental (spoken fragments + vocoded hook + falsetto placeholders)  
Mood: Cinematic, immersive, emotionally ambiguous

Pull of the Night opens with a bioluminescent pad and ambient vocal fragments, stretched across a wide stereo field. A bright arpeggiated synth pulses beneath a sustained pad, gradually layered with sidechained textures and harmonic swells. The rhythm is steady, a four-on-the-floor kick, crisp snare, and closed hi-hat, anchoring the mix with dancefloor clarity.

Vocals are sparse and modular, designed for melodic phrasing and ambient layering.

Granular FX, shimmer delay, and spectral reverb shape each phrase into cinematic motion. The breakdown suspends time with reversed pads and gated silence, a breath held in orbit. The outro fades into harmonic mist and scattered light.

Built for sunset sets, headphone immersion, and melodic playlists. Pull of the Night doesn’t chase the drop, it drifts toward it.

Pull of the Night

#ThisIsTheNight

#devsays – “Built to burn. Wired to run.”

Track Details: 150 BPM, Metal-Techno × Rock Electronica  
Vocal: Instrumental (robotic male phrases + vocoded chant + ambient fragments)  
Mood: Aggressive, cinematic, high-energy

This Is the Night opens with a distorted synth bass and pulsing kick, sidechained for rhythmic drive. Metal guitar textures and rock-infused synth stabs layer over a fast-paced hi-hat pattern, creating a dense, immersive soundscape. The mix is clean and wide, with compressed drums and atmospheric pads shaped by shimmer delay and granular reverb.

Vocals are minimal and mechanical — clipped male phrases and vocoded loops used as rhythmic accents and thematic markers.

The breakdown suspends motion with reversed pads and gated silence, while the drop reintroduces full stereo impact with layered synths and robotic phrasing. The outro fades into spectral drift and harmonic decay.

Built for late-night sets, remix decks, and cinematic sync. This Is the Night doesn’t chase the drop — it spirals toward it.

This is the Night

#DriftAndGlow

#devsays – “Stay in the drift. Stay in the glow.”

Track Details: 122 BPM, Chillwave × Afro House × Ambient Electronica  
Vocal: Dual (female melodic topline + male spoken fragments + ambient chant)  
Mood: Dreamy, introspective, rhythmically fluid

Drift and Glow opens with warm synth pads and melodic electric guitar arpeggios, layered over lo-fi drums and a smooth synth bass. The groove is slow and hypnotic, shaped by tribal-inspired percussion and ambient textures. Stereo imaging is wide and immersive, with shimmer reverb and delay tails creating a floating atmosphere.

Vocals blend ethereal female toplines with mantra-style male chants and spoken fragments. FX cues include breathy harmonies, stereo swells, and rhythmic vocal chops.

The breakdown suspends motion with reversed pads and ambient silence, while the drop reintroduces groove and harmonic depth. The outro fades into soft vocal whispers and harmonic bloom.

Built for late-night sets, remix decks, and immersive playlists. Drift and Glow doesn’t push — it pulls.

Drift and Glow

#FadeRise  
#devsays – “Some things fade. Others rise. Let both happen.”

Track Details: 98 BPM, Melodic Techno × Deep House × Ambient Electronica  
Vocal: Modular (female whisper + male harmonic overlays, non-lyrical phrasing)  
Mood: Cinematic, introspective, emotionally lifted

Fade / Rise opens with ambient pads and shimmer delay, gradually revealing a softened four-on-the-floor pulse beneath a brightly arpeggiated synth lead. The harmonic space unfolds with analog warmth and digital precision, anchored by a deep, rounded bassline and layered stereo textures.

Vocal elements are modular and abstract — breathy female whispers and DAW-generated male harmonics woven into breakdowns and builds. FX cues include shimmer reverb, granular delay, and stereo bloom, shaping a sonic arc that fades into introspection and rises into euphoric lift.

The breakdown suspends motion with low-pass transitions and reversed textures. The drop reintroduces rhythmic propulsion with melodic phrasing and harmonic bloom. The outro dissolves into ambient silence, leaving only the echo of ascent.

Built for late-night sets, vocal-forward edits, and cinematic playlists. This track doesn’t peak — it evolves.

Fade/Rise

Official Pioneer DJ Middle East, B018, Pure Ibiza UAE, Emirates Airline

One of the most influential DJs in the Middle East, maDJam has helped put Dubai and Beirut on the global dance music map. 

With more air miles than Richard Branson thanks to his busy weekend club schedule, he’s a headline act in his native Beirut as well as in cosmopolitan Dubai, the region’s two party hubs. Alongside that, he holds down regular spots in Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait. He’s been an ever present on the Creamfields Abu Dhabi line up, one of the few GCC DJs who can hold their own on the main stage infront of 15,000 people next to heavy hitters like David Guetta, Hardwell and Deadmau5. 

DJing in 1992 from the age of 10, Ahmad Ajam – re-arranged to form his DJ name maDJam – started rocking school parties and quickly progressed through the local scene to become an industry leader in Lebanon. His ‘Club Frequency’ show has been airing weekly on cult station Mix FM in Lebanon since 2000, while he’s also presented and recorded his own in-flight radio show for Emirates airline. 

He was an instrumental part in the growth of Beirut and Dubai’s club scene at the turn of the millenium. He was one of two residents at Peppermint Dubai, the first house party to properly break into the city, DJing before and after industry titans like Carl Cox, Sasha, Digweed, Ferry Corsten and Tiesto to thousands on a weekly basis. Back in Beirut, he helped curate the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project and played virtually every club and bar worth their weight in tequila. 

With an incredibly versatile house sound, maDJam constantly straddles the cool and commercial divide, happy to take in ambient, deep and progressive influences, as well as funk, electro, techno and pretty much everything else in between. And it’s a very in-demand sound, with maDJam a regular at events like the Red Bull X Fighters and Red Bull Air Race. He’s also a Pioneer DJ ambassador for the Middle East, helping develop software and hardware for the Japanese giants. 

It’s always the music that matters the most, however. “No matter where you go on this planet you will find good dance music. The promotion and production are the essential elements to support any scene, and that’s where I love to focus my effort in getting as involved as possible with all things so people have a good time listening to music that I love” says maDJam.  

“It’s all about the crowd & their response to the music whatever it is, as long as they’re up for it, then so am I."

The Delegate. Good time maker. Is a DJ/Producer and the co founder of Jungle Juice Records who has been supplying the good vibes and driving bass lines to the doof scene for over 12 years. Originating in Sydney James found his home and his people on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. He has developed his own unique sound which ignites the fire on the dancefloor creating smiles all round. 

"Order on the dance floor!!" 😈
