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.

She focuses on tracks with heavy sample loops, adding layers that deepen her storytelling and highlight the connections within her sets. Despite the diverse selection, her sound remains sharp, rhythmic, and industrial-edged. She reimagines tracks, unveiling their untapped potential and captivating listeners with fresh depth.
