Winging their way to Ibiza for the second in our Fresh Blood events Half Baked touches down on the white Islands shores on the 10th of July representing the nu wave of East London party starters who have sprung into existence in recent years.

Attention to detail, creative choice of venue but most importantly a warm musically savvy crowd and a close knit family of talented resident djs has seen the Half Baked collective leading the vanguard of East London party starters.

Hamid

DJ and producer Hamid was instantly immersed in music, growing up in the quiet south east of France. Brought up as by far the youngest of 5, his early years were full of musical inspiration from all genres and era's. In 2006 he moved to London. The city, its playground of rhythm and creative diversity were literally music to his ears; pulling him deeper in love with sound more than ever before Hamid began securing his place on the city’s house and techno scene.

Hamid’s current residency at London’s hottest Sunday party Half Baked, continues to see Hamid play amongst some of Europe’s most respected artists. 

With so many elements that have been essential in his growth as a DJ, and more recently, a producer, it's unsurprising that we see such a sense of maturity in his work at such a young age. Hamid 's sound varies eclectically, from his DJ sets to solo productions, collaborations and live work. Latin and tribal ambiences are entwined with down tempo jazz and seductive vocals. Percussion and brass sit alongside deep and heavy rhythmic bass, always focusing on a strong and dominant platform of techno and deep house. It's erotic and dark, sensual and classical, encompassing so many genres and styles in one, a minefield of experimentation that works and forces our minds and bodies into his world.
