Batawi is a self-taught, up & coming DJ and producer. He started his career at the age of 15. Using Deadmau5 as his main source of inspiration as well as many other influential artists such as duo Daft Punk, Sebastian Leger and Tim Berg (Avicii), Batawi has continued to display his mixing skills at various clubs and events in Egypt. Meanwhile also developing as a local producer releasing his debut record with System Recordings, a prestigious record label located in New York.
Batawi took an interest in DJ-ing because he was constantly surrounded by different genres and sub-genres of electronic music; he ultimately grew to love it. Songs like ‘Sinnerman’ (Remix Felix Da Housecat) and Supermode’s ‘Tell Me Why’ were the roots of his interest in the genre.
For his considerable age, Batawi has leaped considerable steps in a very short period. He began collaborating with top-end event planners, playing various genres ranging from funky and house to progressive and electro that appeal to the countless diverse crowds he has performed before, gaining international exposure and support from the likes of Deniz Koyu, Pariz FZ & Simo T, Idriss Chebak, King Richard, Michael Brun and many more!
