Bachir Salloum [Journey Series]

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Podcast Series! On this week's editions we welcome Bachir Salloum. Raised on Beirut’s infamous club scene, Bachir is a rising Middle East talent thanks to his uplifting mellifluous sets and deep, emotional productions that have been picked up and played by none other than Hernan Cattaneo. Inspired by his older brother who was a hip-hop and R&B DJ, Bachir started exploring electronic music aged 16 and was captivated by Beirut's diverse music scene. That diversity has continued into his sets, as he creates moving shows that balance dark and light, blending progressive house, deep house and shades of tech house to build memorable sessions that live long in the memory. Based in Dubai since 2014, he’s played alongside several A-list DJs including Nick Warren, Sasha and Hernan Cattaneo, who was one of the first to pick up on his promising productions. Signed to Genesis and Plattenbank Records, his dream-like house and progressive productions have quickly picked up a strong following, with further releases to come in 2017 including a collaboration with fellow Middle East producer Zone+. With more local and international gigs confirmed for the end of 2017 and beyond, Bachir is set to be one of the stars of the Middle East scene and beyond. We are happy to welcome him to our family, and we hope you enjoy this mix as much as we do!
