10 Short Q&A with DJ/Producer Saeed Younan

1) Do you dance?
- I do all the time in the Dj booth....while I’m playing.

2) What does “Kumbalha” mean?
- Kumbalha means “Bomb” in Arabic. No pun intended :)

3) Who’s supporting Kumbalha?
- Everyone from Mark Knight, Steve Lawler, Tom Novy, Dj Vibe, Chus & Ceballos.  In fact, Kumbalha is on Mark Knight’s new mix album coming out next month.

4) Do you consider yourself a DJ first, producer second or the opposite?
- I’m a DJ first, because I probably would’ve never started producing if it wasn’t for Djing.

5) If you could give an aspiring DJ/Artist your best advice, what would it be?
- Don’t follow musical trends or chase after what’s hot this moment. Be original, and true to yourself.

6) What’s your label Younan Music’s future vision?
- The same vision we’ve had from day one. to give new artist an avenue to release music on a label that understands how the new music market works.

7) What remix or original production are you most proud of right now?
I’m proud of all my work.  I don’t release anything unless I’m 110% happy with.  But I must say, I’m very proud of Kumbalha. it’s gotten some much great response from Top dj’s and dance floors.

8) How would you describe your sound?
- I started out as a tribal dj.  But now my sounds has evolved into a fusion of groove-driven percussive beats, and elements of tech and progressive house. To me, It’s all about the deep groove and sexiness of a track.

9) What are you working on at the moment?
- I just finished a remix of Sergio Fernandez track “Sarkis” coming out on Baroque Records.  I’m also working on my mixed album “Spotlight2” which will be out late this summer.

10) Any future collaboration’s?
- I’m currently collaborating on a track with Dj Chus, and DJ Wady.
I’m also working closely with some of my label artist and doing remixes of their tracks to help push the artist name and their singles.
