Deena Abdelwahed

Tunisian-born and now based in France, Deena Abdelwahed is an innovative DJ, producer, and composer known for pioneering a bold new sound that fuses North African rhythms with experimental electronic music. Emerging from Tunisia’s alternative music scene, Abdelwahed’s early work with the Arabstazy collective signaled her intent to challenge genre boundaries and reinvent club culture. Her acclaimed releases, including the album *Khonnar* (2018) and the EP *Dhakar*, explore themes of identity, futurism, and social issues through restless percussion, haunting synths, and manipulated Maghrebi vocals.

Abdelwahed has appeared at international festivals such as Sonar, CTM, and Unsound, while earning widespread recognition for energetic DJ sets and live performances that defy easy classification. Beyond her solo work, she frequently collaborates with other artists seeking to bridge electronic innovation and traditional influences, cementing her reputation as a vital voice in contemporary global music.
