ANDWY

AND(W)Y is a Dubai-based DJ operating in the space between Melodic Techno and Tech House, with a signature blend of cinematic tension, deep low-end, and groove-led minimal detail. Playing since 2014, he’s developed a sound that’s as emotional as it is functional, designed to hit on a proper system while still carrying a clear mood and identity.

He’s performed at VNYL HiFi and B018 in Dubai, Amsterdam Dance Event, shows in Chicago (United States), and Halle Tor 2 in Cologne alongside Tita Lau. Across these stages, his sets are known for one thing: storytelling. AND(W)Y doesn’t chase peaks every few minutes, he builds chapters. He sets tension early, introduces melody with restraint, and lets the groove do the heavy lifting until the right moment to lift the room.

Before stepping fully into music, AND(W)Y worked for years as a professional chef. That background shaped his approach behind the decks: detail-driven selection, confident pacing, and a clear sense of how to guide a crowd through a full-night arc. The result is a controlled, cinematic, groove-first journey that feels intentional, memorable, and made for the floor.
