DJ MadJam live at Ibrida

Manama

Gear up and get ready to have fun all night long! DJ MadJam is all set to create some magic with music today from 11pm to 2am at Ibrida Ramee Grand, Seef. He’s a headline act in this native Beirut as well as in cosmopolitan Dubai, the region’s two party hubs. 

Alongside that, he holds down regular spots in Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait. He’s been an ever present on the Creamfields Abu Dhabi line up, one of the few GCC DJs who can hold their own on the main stage in front of 15,000 people next to heavy hitters like David Guetta, Hardwell and Deadmau5.

DJ-ing for over a decade, Ahmad Ajam or letter-chopped to MadJam, has evolved from the elementary-school house parties to the biggest clubs and events around the world. He’s currently active in promoting, PR consulting, broadcasting, while maintaining a profile as one of the Middle East’s most popular DJs. 

He also produces and mixes Club Frequency on Mix FM, a weekly radio show dedicated to Lebanon’s clubbers. MadJam has also contributed to a number of cultural and social publications.

MadJam’s sound is best described as “party music” and varies from vocal to progressive house with a touch of funk and electro and just about everything in between. He has played in just about every true club in Beirut, along with events such as Bacardi Festival that fill-up over 20,000 people.

He is a true supporter of the dance music scene across the Middle East, and continues to play gigs in Kuwait, Jordan, Cyprus, Bahrain, Lebanon and Dubai.

“I get most of my music from the record labels itself. The rest are recommended by my friends through emails. I also look up the website beatport.com for the latest trends in music.  My idea of unwinding is ... I play music.  I play ... Mainly house and techno,” he said.

“I actually juggle three jobs so being a DJ occupies my spare time. I produce TV shows and also do promotional stuff, such as radio and TV advertisements. Once in three years, I take a break and go on a holiday,” he said in a statement.
