takaDumm/تقادم

Born in Egypt and based in Prague, takaDumm/تقادم is a DJ, producer, and community advocate whose decade-long journey has taken him across Europe and India. His musical roots began with the darbuka, shaping his signature sound—a fusion of bass-driven rhythms and experimental electronic music. But for takaDumm/تقادم, music is more than sound; it’s resistance, solidarity, and a lifeline for the unheard. As co-founder of NŪR, a collective fostering connection and collaboration, and co-curator of Shella Radio, he amplifies marginalized voices, creating spaces where art and activism collide.

For takaDumm/تقادم, the dance floor is a sanctuary—a place to shed inequality and reclaim humanity. It’s the place where music becomes protest, and rhythm carries the weight of resistance. Now, as he prepares for his 2026 live set debut, he channels these stories into a visceral experience: a call to remember, to fight, and to never let their voices fade.
