Fafi Abdel Nour
Deep-dug ’90s house, dramatic melody and spring-loaded breakbeats
Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Abdel Nour works with warm ’90s house grooves, large vocal hooks, dramatic melodic passages and elastic breakbeats, occasionally leaning into body music or old-school techno. His sets favour long emotional curves over blunt escalation, moving between breezy release and tougher rhythmic pressure.
