about

Following the Cairo Quest compilation out earlier this year, the Cairo-based record label, Rakete, presents its first 4-track solo EP with Hassan Abou Alam, one of Egypt’s latest musical exports.

The past six years, Hassan has been playing around with his gear, forging multiple live performances. A hard to pin down sound that utilizes analog and digital instruments, a form of organized chaos that he portrays with extreme finesse—his Boiler Room set last year is testament to his genre bending capabilities.

Through Red Bull Music Academy, Abou Alam was given a chance to mingle musically with the ancient people of Luxor which resulted in a phenomenal live performance in Cairo two years ago, fusing traditional folklore with electronica, successfully pinning him as one of Egypt’s most versatile musicians.

As a DJ he gigged around his country as well as flying out to Berlin's Renate recently, with his name popping up regularly on events ranging from intimate club spaces to massive three day festivals. His sound as a DJ is constantly evolving, springing to life through the crevices of house, breaks, noise, bass, grime, techno and more.
