Adham Gaama

Born in Alexandria and raised across Dubai, Adham is a New York-based DJ and selector with a relentless ear for the groove, the kind that pulls you toward the floor before you've decided to move. His sets move through house, disco, electro, and tech house, held together by warm, dubby basslines and a deep instinct for finding the pulse in unexpected places. He's the founder of Connaissance Collective, a New York crew built around the belief that good sound, a good purpose, and community aren't mutually exclusive; throwing events that raise funds for local NYC initiatives while keeping the audio programming uncompromisingly good. He's also a co-founder of Taul Boy Records, and shared lineups with JKriv, Amine K, Lovie, Hermit, and DUK. In New York, he holds a residency at Hi Note FM with his Steak Frites series and at Nublu, the storied Lower East Side club that has launched some of the city's most respected selectors, alongside a steady run of nights at MAD Records, Moondog HiFi, House of YES, 99 Scott, Jupiter Disco, and Honey's. Outside of New York he has made appearances at Art Basel Miami, Toronto, Chicago, Beirut, Dubai, DC, San Diego, Montreal, Ivory Coast, and Zurich.
