Sama' Abdulhadi
Mixmag Lab London
It's another brilliant session of office workers trying to look utterly menacing while holding half-empty pints of warm lager. You've got lads doing full Berghain queue cosplay in their freshest black t-shirts, desperately trying to look like they haven't just come straight from a marketing meeting in Shoreditch. The claustrophobic, sticker-clad booth of the Mixmag Lab London shakes under the sheer weight of the kick drums, turning a corporate space into a proper sweatbox. For the gearheads, this Sama' Abdulhadi live set is a masterclass in relentless, driving pressure.
Locked at a punishing 128 BPM average, she utilizes 12A and 2A key progressions to keep the Techno completely uncompromising and fiercely industrial. The mixing is aggressive and razor-sharp, maintaining a flat-out, peak-time energy arc from start to finish. The Sama' Abdulhadi Mixmag Lab London tracklist is a devastating arsenal of underground weaponry. She completely destroys the room with Danny Slim - Haide (Extended Mix), a massive, rolling groover that gets the office ravers absolutely sorted.
The onslaught begins with a deeply hypnotic opening track, Uji - Jenga, immediately setting a dark, tribal tone. The undeniable highlight is the absolute scenes during Paul Morena - Here Goes, before she leaves everyone entirely battered with an epic closing track: Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth (Charlotte De Witte Rework).
