Fafi Abdel Nour finds beauty in the margins and the bliss in between - a passionate artist and community builder, on a mission towards imagining better futures through musical connectivity and understanding between humans.

Growing up as a first generation Syrian-born kid, the struggles of integrating into the Dutch society while balancing his Arabic heritage and burgeoning queerness proved to be a struggle - often finding himself in between worlds, caught amidst maintaining his inner pride and sense of self against a world that he strained to see himself in.

Through the desire to find harmony within a lifetime of dissonance, Fafi found dance music in his young adulthood. While his connection to the music was powerful and provided a necessary level of personal reprieve, he soon realized there was a need for more participation from artists and DJs of color in the scene. Fafi’s queer club nights at OOST in Groningen were born out
of this resolve to create community empowerment for marginalized people to transcend beyond the oppressive dominant
culture surrounding them.

As a DJ, Fafi never fails to captivate dancers into a sense of timelessness & otherworldly joy. His sets distill the liberatory kinetics of house music down to its very essence, embodying an era of music unaffected by genre-constraints or rules.

Dissolving boundaries between sound, movement and being, dancers can expect everything from spellbinding melodic passages, house-inflected body music and enchanted breakbeats melded into flourishes of ecstatic sensation.
Oscillating between jubilance and insight with a distinctive sense of narrative and technical finesse, Fafi’s selections expand the universe of mystic, passionate and evocative strains of house - tapping into the source of music’s fundamental ability to transform lives, through a deeply personal level of expression transmuted directly from his soul through the speakers.

Always encouraging us to connect with one another and celebrate the myriad of differences we share in our world, Fafi’s vibration has radiated simply by embodying his truth and encouraging others to do the same for themselves. Currently based in Amsterdam and with a slew of gigs only continuing to manifest throughout the world, his mantra remains the same no matter where the music is played - Love is the message.

heyyyy guys, this month we are getting ready for our EXHALE event with Awakenings during Amsterdam Dance Event. I’m so excited because this time it’s in a brand new warehouse venue called The Sugar Factory — it’s never been used for parties before, so it’s going to be really special.

You will hear two tracks from the new EP we’ve just put out on EXHALE from FLOUR. He’s a great producer from Naples — his DJ sets and productions blend hard techno with psytrance in a lovely way.

Enjoooy and see you soon

"In my sets you will always find that perfect balance of both new and old. This mix is no different, encompassing my beloved 90s tribal techno intersecting fresh percussive soundscapes from some of my favourite new producers. And it wouldn't be a Yasmin Gardezi mix without splashes of trance treasures melted in. This set is everything I stand for, high voltage energy interlaced with nostalgia & euphoric vibrations".

Ireland's very own Yasmin Gardezi has been blazing her own trail for some time now. Her relentless approach to pushing the boundaries both in the booth and in the studio is what’s setting her apart. 

Yasmin has been crafting her sound into a fast paced, energetic, hypnotic techno set. Yasmin’s unforgiving approach to techno see’s jarring percussion, smouldering soundscapes and trance licked synths come from all angles with a large influence from 90s techno. The Irish export creates a unique style of set that takes listeners on a journey through her broad catalogue of new and old music with psy influences throughout igniting feelings of grit and euphoria on the dance floor. 

An ever-present name on some of the biggest shows in Ireland and abroad – District X, Emerge Festival and Electric Picnic, Yasmin has earned herself an incredible array of club shows at home and has been making a mark across every corner of Europe, Australia and North America. Hotly tipped as one of Irelands ‘next big things’, Yasmin is a glimpse into what the future of Irish dance music will look like.
