Fady Ferraye

Italian/Lebanese based in the Netherlands DJ, producer, songwriter, and label owne Fady Ferraye has not had a normal upbringing for an artist. As a youngster growing up under the bombs of the Lebanese civil war, with access to his uncle’s vast record collection, he learned to shuttle his gigs from one shelter to another while staying in the mix. An unconventional start to a career that has heard him share his sound in more than 20 countries he visited around the world. Based in Amsterdam since 2006, his tracks have been released on important Progressive House labels: Manual, Particles (Proton), Audio Therapy (Dave Seaman's label), Frisky, Baroque, and Per-Vurt, to name a few. His works were played by world celebrity DJs including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, Dave Seaman, and John Digweed. Cid-Inc, Facundo Mohrr, Dimitri Andreas, Chris Fortier, Pole Folder, Paul Sawyer, Silinder, Eelke Kleijn and Kiko are among the artists that have remixed his tracks. Fady’s axis was formed by his two residencies: At Club NL in Amsterdam (since 2005), and the legendary club BO18 in Beirut (1999-2013), Fady is considered as one of the pioneers of Electronic Dance Music in the MENA. From there he shuttled across Europe, and Asia, unobtrusive, shunning the hoopla, peddling his hypnotic mix. Countries he played in: Germany, The Netherlands, Croatia, Belgium, France, Serbia, Greece, Romania, Armenia, Turkey, India, U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrein, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon.
