Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

He plays Arabic cassettes, disco, boogie, funk and other warm, sample-heavy cuts, usually with plenty of crowd-pleasing hooks and percussive lift. The SoundCloud trail shows mixes moving from Arab G-funk and rai to disco, early hip-hop and belly-dance edits, so expect a set that leans musical rather than straight-four-to-the-floor.

More about Disco Arabesquo

Moataz Rageb runs Disco Arabesquo out of Amsterdam and sits in the cassette-collector lane as much as the DJ lane. He’s tied to the Egyptian disco/boogie reissue world, including curation of Sharayet El Disco and Ayam El Disco for Wewantsounds, which put Egyptian 1980s cassette culture back in circulation.
