How did you get your start DJ-ing and where do you currently spin now?

I started DJ-ing at a record store in Germany when I was 15, I always went there after school. I also worked at the store for one year to learn. Now I’m at Whisky Mist and Riviera Beach in the summer as their resident DJ.

Tell us about your hot new track?

“I’m so Arabic” is an easy catchy track, I talk about partying in our society. It fits 100% to Beirut nightlife, it’s about nightlife, partying and dance. This track is made for the middle east!

Where and when will we be able to hear it?

You will hear it at Arabicnet.com. The site will be launched to the public in March. It will be the main song for the social network site (www.Arabicnet.com) for all 22 Arab countries. This site will have 2 million visitors each day, lots of traffic! You will also be able to download the track off the site.

What is the most difficult thing about being a DJ?

To be sober when you work since everyone wants to invite you to drink [laughs]. Really it’s that you have to be able to be creative and put your mind on the work at all times, if not it effects your work. You can’t let problems and personal life mix in with your work.

Lebanon is known for partying do you find it easier to DJ here because people are always ready to have a good time?

The party life is good here and I love playing here, but the easiest and where I feel is the best is in Germany and Thailand at the full moon parties.
