The marriage of different musical traditions from the Orient and the Occident - many have already attempted this. In the field of electronic music, however, hardly anyone currently manages this as playfully as Arab producer Djamil. The beat tinkerer has made a name for himself on Instagram with ingenious mash-ups of Western soul and rap classics with Arabic pop and folk. Snoop Dogg or Jason Derulo, Beyoncé or Lil Wayne, Stormzy or Bruno Mars, Rihanna or Chris Brown are fused with their counterparts from the Arab world to create fresh, danceable tracks. On TikTok, Djamil not only ensures enthusiastic fans of a somewhat different kind of club music, but also an understanding between cultures that works beyond words. The fact that he achieves these feats with a very reduced setup only speaks in favour of the DJ and globetrotter. With fresh remixes and some live-mixed surprise tracks, he finally made his way to Hamburg this year.
