(@shadi_zaitoun)26 years old, electronic music fanatic and collector based in Mainz, Germany. 

I organize vintage fashion markets around Europe as my full-time job and a solidarity festival series called Zuflucht, which is focused on including minorities in the project and donating all of its profit to Za'atar Ngo that helps refugees in Greece.  

Enjoy my story-telling journey that I expressed through experimental sounds, it ranges from ambient and dub to idm and everything in between.

SSS presents an online radio programme in collaboration with SACF, London's Syrian Arts and Culture Festival.

The programme features 18 mixes produced by Syrian DJ's, collectors, producers and researchers in response to a poem by Etel Adnan.These were broadcasted online on Radio Alhara and Root Radio.

Excerpt from: "Night" by Etel Adnan in English and translated into Arabic:

I am a night bird. I search in barely visible corners the pencils, erasers, and writing slates of my early years…
I continue to hug walls. This hour is tired of dealing with ancestors. Many things are receding along with the seasons, and the sun has set, that was just there
I will pursue my flight…

قصيدة مترجمة عن الانكليزية من "ليل" مجموعة شعرية للكاتبة إيتيل عدنان

أنا عصفورةٌ ليليةٌ
،أبحثُ في الزَّوايا المخبَّأة
عن أقلامِ الرصاص و المحايات
… و الكتابات من سنيني الأولى
لا زلت أعانق الجدران
تعبت هذه الساعة من تداعيات أجدادي
تنحسرُ مع الفصول أشياءٌ كثيرةٌ
والشَّمسُ التي كانت هنا غابتْ
أما أنا سأستمر في التحليق

INTERVIEW: https://www.deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/135_shadi_for_deeprhythms

Shadi's originated in Aleppo, is the Co-founder of Zuflucht Solidarity Festival Series and a well-known figure in the Mainz scene.

His sonic journey encompasses a broad spectrum from experimental, ambient, dub, and IDM to dancefloor-ready house and deep house, breakbeat, electro, and both old school & modern trance, among other genres.

"I just dusted off my records shelf, and went through it to put out my favourite dance yet home-listenig friendly records. Expect a journey from house to dub to simple and deeper groove."

His 72 minute vinyl mix for DR is deep, emotive and dreamy - an immersive escapist journey.
