Marwan Haitham (ESCØ). I was born in Egypt in 1999 (25 years old). I started to think about producing and mixing this year. My dad has been a DJ since 1990. He taught me everything about music, and he is my idol. I've got great vision in the electronic music scene worldwide, and I make at least 2 tracks in a day because, for me, it's my game.
I've dreamed I want to play my music the whole world with my dad (B2B), and I think I know how to win in this field.

Dúhas (DOO-has) — Derived from Gaelic term ‘dùthchas’ - Meaning ‘a sense of belonging’ to something/somewhere… 

Dúhas is the solo project of Scottish DJ and aspiring producer Craig Macleod — Marking a new chapter in his sonic journey. With a renewed drive to deepen his production skills and bring his creative ideas to life, Dúhas represents a shift toward fully embracing the craft of music-making and sharing it with the world.

The name Dúhas is derived from the Gaelic word dùthchas, meaning “a sense of belonging” — a concept that resonates deeply with Craig. Music has long been his constant, something he’s turned to through all of life’s highs and lows. Now, it becomes the focus of his next chapter.

After more than a decade in a demanding career, Craig is taking a well-earned break — giving him the space to recover from (hopefully) life-changing surgery and to finally invest the time and energy needed to realise his musical ambitions.

Since first stepping behind the decks in 2018, originally inspred by a fateful trip to Ibiza in 2016, Craig has cultivated a sharp ear for track selection, developing a deep and methodical digging process alongside a refined mixing style. Under the alias KYZ-R, he explored the worlds of techno and minimal. More recently, he has immersed himself in melodic techno, as the @CarnFada selector. His first major opportunity coming via a mix competition win to support Framewerk for TLF’s 10th birthday. Since then performing regularly as a resident at EVADE in Aberdeen and more recently appearing for Manchesters up & coming MELODIQ, whilst continually sharing mixes, some through channels like FFS and Housetape Radio.

Blending atmospheric textures, abstract soundscapes, and emotive grooves, KYZ-R draws inspiration from artists like Stephan Bodzin, Township Rebellion, Metodi Hristov, Nihil Young, Lauren Mia, and Oliver Huntemann to name a few, a long with labels such as Steyoyoke, Senso Sounds, Interstellar Recordings, and Stil Vor Talent.

Now, through Dúhas, Craig is stepping into a new & exciting creative space — channeling all he’s learned into a focused, personal project with clear intent and fresh momentum. With ambitions to carve out out a sound that’s emotional, ethereal & abstract - crafted to stir the senses and take listeners on an immersive journey through evolving rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes.

Let’s see where it leads.
