Driven by his passion for funky, soulful, and psychedelic tunes, Jannis has extensively toured North Africa and the Middle East, unearthing rare musical gems that challenge stereotypical perceptions of the Arab world. Apart from producing seven popular mixes, Habibi Funk Records has reissued six records, with an energetic DJ live set showcasing a unique blend of rare vinyls from across the region.
Nabihah Iqbal:
Nabihah Iqbal, an avant-garde sound sorceress hailing from London, is riding the crest of a wave following her captivating second album, 'DREAMER'.

A veteran radio voice on NTS and BBC networks, Nabihah's live act and DJ sets have also gained international acclaim, touring prestigious venues like V&A Museum, MoMA PS1, and festivals such as SXSW, Glastonbury, and Sonar.
Deepa:
When not manning the radio FBi Radio waves, Deepa is wielding her USBs to stunning effect upon a Sydney dance floor, mixing up an eclectic storm from oddball and leftfield selections stretching to rose-tinted Indopop, cheeky breaks and deep, dark hypnotic drums.
