Select 260: Hisham Zahran

The 260th edition of our Select series features some old-school broody house vibes from Cairo-based DJ Hisham Zahran. Arguably one of Egypt’s most renowned and well traveled dance music acts, Hisham Zahran is known for his innovative and impeccably curated house and minimal sound. Since 2006 Zahran has regularly played in Europe, Asia, North and South America and has had residency stints with Egypt’s Nacelle and New York’s Bespoke Music. As a producer Zahran has released on respected international labels such as Mood Music, Audio Tonic, and Brown Eyed Boy and is notably part of the A&R team at electronic label Anjunadeep. For Select 260 Zahran delves into the darker side of his record collection, a moodier fit to what we’ve usually come accustomed to in his sets, mixing in a selection inspired by 90s and 00s house featuring tracks from the likes of Housey Doingz, SPCE, Mataemon and Inner Lakes. www.scenenoise.com
