From deep house to progressive rhythms, Kollectiv’s presentation promises to be a night of electrifying performances and artistic collaboration.

The Visionary Behind Kollectiv: Hady Tarek

At the heart of Kollectiv lies its founder, Hady Tarek, an influential figure in the Egyptian and global electronic music scene. A DJ, producer, and sound engineer, Tarek has dedicated over two decades to shaping the sound of Egypt’s electronic music landscape. His unique signature style is deeply rooted in progressive, deep house, and melodic techno, resonating with audiences across diverse settings.

Tarek’s influence extends far beyond the Egyptian shores; his work with prominent labels like Armada Music, Manual Music, and Bonzai Progressive has helped bridge connections between Egypt’s underground and Northern Europe’s vibrant club culture. Through Kollectiv, he has created a nurturing space for emerging artists, putting a spotlight on the wealth of talent within the MENA region.
