Hassan Abou Alam

Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt - Hassan Abou Alam got his start on the Rapid Fire Records imprint at the age of 15, but his ongoing relationship with music started way before that. Growing up to classic rock and synth pop tunes provided by his father, he moved on to house music at the age of 12 when his uncle introduced him to electronic music. From then on, production became an integral part of Hassan’s life - he started off by making House music; but it wasn’t long before he completely fell in love with techno. Inspired by the likes of Headless Horseman and Abdulla Rashim, he took a rapid turn to specializing in the darker side of the techno genre. Recently, a different side of Hassan has come to light. He has started exploring a more down-tempo, melodic side of electronic music - this combined with his signature techno, results in his very own brand of eccentric sounds.
