Select 398: Mixed by ouella

This week on Select, we spotlight Egyptian-Moroccan DJ and producer ouella, one of the most exciting rising names in Cairo's underground club scene. His sound is rooted in bass-heavy club music, threading Amazigh inflections and syncopated percussion through the lens of global club culture. For this Select mix, ouella delivers an unrelenting, high-energy session packed with club-ready cuts, eschewing downtime in favour of relentless drums, heavy kicks, and propulsive rhythms. Offering a glimpse into his current sonic direction, the set also features a handful of unreleased productions fresh from the studio, resulting in a percussive, rhythm-driven journey built with the dancefloor firmly in mind.
