DAWSHA: 8ULENTINA, Donia L Jelly, Simzii, Hamadi

About

DAWSHA returns to Bossa Nova Civic Club, bringing together an international convergence of left-field club music. 8ULENTINA (Sillage, Club Chai, NTS, Lot Radio) is a pioneer of the underground MENA scene in the US. A master of both ambient expanses and high-velocity club sets. Fresh off a highly acclaimed appearance at Honcho, he is set to take the room on a deeply inspiring journey. Donia L Jelly (JellyZone) joins us from Egypt, where she has established herself as a quintessential curator of the underground. Her parties have fostered Egypt's biggest names and talent across North Africa and the Middle East. Behind the decks, she is a true genre-melter—bridging everything from Jersey club, grime, experimental Latin, global bass, Arabic Hip-Hop and Mahraganat into a singular emotional vision. Simzii is a Haifa-based Palestinian DJ and producer who blends driving techno with dreamy trance and Arabic pop nostalgia. He is pioneering club-forward Arabic trance with his recent release Yours Truly (Permission to Dance), and his 2024 track Hawalom (featured on UMAY's Letters to a Future Palestine compilation), which continues to circulate dance floors globally. Hamadi is the founder of DAWSHA. He is an NYC-based DJ who intertwines ambient sounds, layered percussion, and hidden textures, creating sets that seek out emotional release in the midst of dance floor chaos.
