https://soundcloud.com/redasa: I recorded the mix in the basement of Canal 54. It is the floor that welcomes events and where I feel the best to enjoy a selection of music I love. This one is a mix of old and new music which I find rhythmic as well as the aesthetic I love with music. I also share three new tracks, one comes from a recent VA for Palestine, and two others are upcoming releases on my new label « Beau Virage Records ». New beat, House, and progressive electronic music are expected here! Enjoy!

Reda Saiarh is a DJ and producer based in Geneva, known for his commitment to both the local and international music scenes. As the co-founder and programmer of Geneva’s cultural café, Canal 54, he actively contributes to the growth of the local culture while pursuing his music career. His first major record release came in 2021 with the launch of his vinyl on the Dutch label Afrobotic Musicology, which set his career on a new trajectory.

In 2022, after impressing with his track Kiki on the Trains of Thought compilation, Rosie Cain supported him in releasing a full EP, Comfort Zone, on her label, Human Endeavour, allowing him to embrace and affirm his style. Reda stands out not only for the quality of his productions but also for his commitment to humanitarian causes. In 2023, he contributed to solidarity compilations, including Put the Coconut Down to support Ukraine, as well as Rare 80s, in collaboration with Ransom Note and Mütesna Records, to assist earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.

Inspired by the impact of such initiatives, Reda Saiarh launched an important project in response to the earthquakes in his native country, Morocco. In collaboration with Ransom Note and Rosie Cain, Tadamoun—meaning “Solidarity”—will bring together over 24 artists, including Bogdan Ra, Romain FX, JD Twitch, Anastasia Zems, and many more. His track Ma3akoum, meaning “With You,” is a distinctive signature. Remaining dedicated, he has also appeared on compilations supporting the Palestinian cause with tracks like New Beat Against the Machine and Malayika.

Alongside these projects, his performances resonate in clubs in Geneva and beyond, in cities such as Berlin at Oxi Club, Paris at La Rotonde Stalingrad, and Nantes at the famous Macadam. Reda is also a regular on influential radio stations like Rinse France, Kiosk Radio, and more recently, NTS Radio.

In 2023, Bowmore, the programmer of the show Club Selectors, offered him three resident podcasts on Swiss radio station Couleur3.

In 2024, Reda joined the Fauve Radio collective, created by an artist he deeply admires, Romain FX, further strengthening his ties to the international scene. As an artist on the rise, Reda Saiarh has established himself as a vital figure in the electronic music scene, driving projects that combine music and social engagement.
