I’m also a fan of Dembow and Arabic music, which I occasionally weave into my mixes and edits when it fits the vibe.

ZINEB

The very first time ZINEB came in contact with music was at Moroccan weddings, family gatherings and celebrations. As a little kid, she watched her family dancing to Chaabi and Reggada. She heard the women in her family singing Izran and playing Derbouka. These experiences instilled in her a deep love and appreciation for Moroccan music, which naturally expanded into an interest in North African and West Asian music, often referred to as Arab music.

Today, Zineb mixes a spicy blend of North African and West Asian rhythms, Deep House, Raï, and Amapiano. As a Dutch-born DJ with Amazigh heritage, she brings cultural influences to her music, crafting a unique sound that captivates. Her journey has been about celebrating her roots while exploring new musical territories.

Spicy Dokha

Spicy Dokha, a Dutch-Iraqi artist and vocalist, sculpts sound like a fractured dream—an ethereal fusion of digital and analog that pushes the boundaries of genre. Her voice, a vehicle of raw emotion, weaves language and noise into a landscape uniquely her own, where worlds collide and untold stories emerge.

Uncle George Electronics (UGE.93) operates on the edges of bass, jazz, and sonic complexity, crafting unpredictable compositions that feel both alien and deeply familiar. Rooted in Rotterdam’s underground for over a decade, his intricate designs blur the lines between chaos and harmony.

Connected since 2017, Spicy and UGE.93 united in 2023 within the confines of a squat studio near Coolhaven. The resulting EP, بَس, is a sonic expression of displacement, yearning, and fractured identities—a reflection of Rotterdam’s vibrant, multifaceted soul, where Maluku and Iraqi heritage converge, bound together by sound.
