Soho Profile:

Soho has steadily established himself within the london underground scene. born& raised in the middle east, growing up in a region not really known for its pioneering electronic sound, yet he was still able to find music that would inspire him within his parents record collection..an avid collector of music from a young age, everything from pop through to jazz, disco, rock and hip hop..as a vinyl purist it was a natural progression for soho to move on to spinning records in 1999. Since then his eclectic dj sets have been a mixture of deep, groovy, house & techno as well as everything in between!his sets are always catered for the right moments, either for a warm up set or at peak time.

Making a move to london in 2003 to go to art school and study photography,but also to submerge himself into london’sunderground nightlife and pursue his passion for music…strating out as resident of the Multi Vitamins collective, along side other established artists like; Cesar Merveille, Argy, ekkohaus, arnaud le texier&the Italoboyz, to name a few. Now you can catch soho regularly playing all over London, either as a resident for phonica records, or at east end warehouse parties, or manning the turntables at various other London venues.

Not only satisfied with dj’ing soho has also been working in the studio creating his own blend of house &techno. pressing his tracks on established labels like kailash, multi vitamins and safari electronique as well as a few digital labels. he has been lucky to see his productions charted by djs ranging from RyanCrosson to raresh&marceldettmann.

Presently soho is an employee of london’s own phonica records and continues on his musical ventures providing the dance floors with the material which makes your hips shake and your ears taste the exquisite goodness.
