Select 399: Mixed by Hashad

For Select 399, Cairo-based DJ Hashad delivers a journey through the different shades of electronic music, moving from deep, groove-led rhythms into more energetic territory while maintaining a steady sense of movement throughout. Known for his fluid approach to house music, Hashad’s sets draw from a wide range of influences, shaped by years spent navigating Egypt’s nightlife scene and understanding the dynamics of the dancefloor. His selections are built around momentum and storytelling, carefully balancing atmosphere, rhythm and energy from start to finish. Having shared the decks with acclaimed names including Traumer, D Stone and Apollonia, Hashad continues to develop a sound that reflects both his local roots and his evolving relationship with electronic music. Starting with a deeper groove and gradually pushing into more energetic territory, this set features tracks including Nyra’s ‘Energy Bliss’, DC Salas’ ‘A Departure’, Dart and Kara Okay’s ‘Can You Hear Me’ and Cache and Mella Dee’s ‘Don’t Hurt Me (Mella Dee Full Pump Mix)’.
