Techno Lovers, Gather Around As DJ Sama Is Coming To Dubai To Floor You With Some Hip Beats!

Techno isn’t just noise and glowsticks anymore. It’s heart, heritage, and headbanging in one powerful beat drop and no one embodies that better than DJ Sama Abdulhadi. She’s fierce, fearless, and fully loaded with Palestinian pride. And guess what? She’s spinning her sonic storm live at The Hive, Soho Garden Meydan, on Saturday, April 26.

Dubai’s Dance Floor Is About To Get Hip And Properly Wild

If your playlist features pounding basslines, hypnotic loops, and emotion you can feel in your chest—cancel your plans. Because Sama isn’t here to just play music. She’s here to blow the roof off Dubai. (Metaphorically, of course—we like the A/C.)

From Ramallah To Global Ravers: Meet Sama, The Beat Architect

Born and raised in Ramallah, Sama Abdulhadi didn’t exactly grow up with techno festivals at her doorstep. Instead, she started with hip-hop and rap, diving into sounds that spoke to resistance and rhythm. That passion eventually led her to Beirut’s gritty underground scene—where she stumbled upon techno and never looked back.

Armed with a degree in audio engineering from London’s SAE Institute, she built her sound with intention. It’s Berlin techno seen through a Middle Eastern lens, with blistering bass and unfiltered emotion. It’s not just catchy, it’s meaningful.

And when Boiler Room broadcast her now-iconic 2018 set from Ramallah? Over 13 million viewers got goosebumps. Just saying.

The Dubai Drop: Where And When the Magic Happens

This April 26, Sama takes over The Hive at Soho Garden while Rampue fills The Garden next door. Yes, you read that right. Two massive names, two high-voltage sets, and one unforgettable night—all under one glittering Dubai sky.

Expect thumping bass, arms-in-the-air moments, and a crowd that feels more like a collective heartbeat. No fluff, no filters—just pure, uncut techno energy.

And if you think this is just another gig, think again. Sama’s sets are like a protest wrapped in a party. Her music speaks—of identity, resilience, and reclaiming space on dance floors and beyond.

This isn’t just an audio feast—it’s a full-on sonic pilgrimage. Rampue brings his dreamy, melodic style to balance Sama’s dark, driving rhythms. You’ll float one moment and explode into motion the next. It’s yin and yang, rave edition.

So grab your glow gear, stretch those limbs, and hydrate like a pro. This line-up demands stamina.

If It’s Not Sama, It’s Just Sound
