Sama’ Abdulhadi — DJ Mag HQ, 2026

Filmed techno set by Sama’ Abdulhadi for her debut at DJ Mag HQ in London in 2026. Regarded as the champion of Palestinian techno and a former cover star of the magazine, she delivers a masterclass in her hypnotic style: relentless kick, taut layers, tribal percussion and patiently built climaxes. This live session, filmed in studio for the specialist outlet’s series, highlights the precision of the mix and the sense of tempo of a DJ who has become a major voice on the global electronic scene. Beyond the performance, this filmed live concert also carries symbolic weight: Sama’ Abdulhadi has emerged as a flag-bearer for an assertive Middle-Eastern techno scene. The footage, spare and centred on the craft of mixing, offers a direct immersion in her world, far from festival spectacle. An ideal document for fans of pure techno and anyone following the emergence of new geographies in electronic music.
