Creative director by day and internationally recognized DJ and producer by night (or vice versa), there has always been one constant in Salah’s life: creativity.

A multi-cultured creative who, for the last 18 years, has excelled in the field of music and design working with and alongside a number of high profile international and regional creative agencies and artists.

His hunger and professionalism has translated across to his musical career as well, something which is apparent to anyone who has heard him play.

An experience of any of Salah’s magical sets is one that remains with you for days, weeks and months. It’s from within his soul that this talented and well-exposed DJ reaches out, with a style of music that spans minimal-deep-house-groovy-techno a truly experienced diverse style that never fails to infect the listener with a dirty groove.

Born and raised in Bahrain, Salah’s ability to get a serious party going puts him up with the very best in the business. These are the skills that he developed from the very young age of 14, spinning at small venue gigs and gradually building a repertoire that crosses continents. Close to home, he has played alongside a few big artists in Dubai, including Laurent Garnier, Peace Division, Josh Wink, Satoshi Tomiie, Seamus Haji and Lexicon Avenue at their Shindig parties. His adventures also take him to Amsterdam frequently, where he has featured at TWSTD and played live sets on Radio Activity’s (www.radio-activity.nl) Danzolectro segment as well as featured guest on Electronation’s (www.electronation.nl) Electronation radio. Salah has featured in several events in the Netherlands, including the Queen’s Day Playground parties (2004 + 2005), supper club, studio 80, club 11 and Club More in Amsterdam, in addition to Member’s Only in Utrecht.

In the regional scene, Salah has been found teaming up with world-class DJs at various venues in both Bahrain and Dubai and was the brains and talent behind the successful Techfui residency, that ran for over four years inviting DJs, both local and international, including the likes of Peace Division, Ame, Mazi, Richard Parker and more

Now based in Dubai, Salah is a regular at leading venues like Nasimi Beach, Madinat Rooftop, Barasti Beach House, Alpha and CHI. He is also getting set to bring his Techfui nights to the crazy city. Salah is only starting to spread his musical vibe in the region with still more in the works, both in the DJ booth and the studio with the launch of his “Techfui label” on which the first single is due for release very soon.

Renowned across the world as a serious performer, Salah has a unique ability to keep a room full of people grooving for hours. Just be warned though: once you’ve heard one of his sets, you’ll definitely want to come back for more.
