An important week to be surrounded by brave, powerful and creative women. 💔 @tottie_mixed and I were fortunate enough to have the honour of being joined by the insanely talented @samaabdulhadiofficial on our @worldwide.fm residency this month. Sama’s rise to becoming one of the first DJs to emerge internationally from Palestine can be traced back to Beirut, where she immersed herself in the burgeoning local techno scene. Her years in the Lebanese capital not only developed in her a singular musical aesthetic, but educated her as to the technicalities of mixing records and forming a narrative by doing so. Her sets, while rooted in high-octane, punchy techno, have a distinguished and defined ark, encompassing a broad range of sounds in their beginning and end. It’s a style that can be traced back to her teachers, two DJs who instilled in her the value of adaptation and track diversity. “The music is Berlin techno, but I perceive it in a Lebanese way,” Her story is incredible, as is her guest mix. Head worldwidefm.net to listen back. 🖤
