He has been playing records for over a decade.
He has been playing our records for almost half a decade.
But most significantly, he has been blowing minds every single time he played those records.
When a local talent becomes a national phenomenon, that's promising.
But when a local talent becomes a national pride, that's an achievement.
Lebanon has generated countless talents, ranging from diverse and even opposing fields, music being one of those fields from which emerged some of those talents.
We've had vocalists invade continents with their chords...
We've had composers resonating their notes overseas...
We've had instrument creators setting the trend of modern sound...
But what we haven't had are DJs truly setting mark on the global scene.
We haven't had that in the past, but we do have that now, right now, in the present.
Ladies and gentlement, I introduce to you Lebanon's new pride...
A DJ who has rocked local dancefloors on countless occasions...
A DJ who has played alongside virtually every high calibre international DJ imported to Lebanon...
A DJ whose fanbase extends to all the neighbouring countries he cast his spell in...
A DJ whose radio show grew to become a regional reference in Trance music...
A DJ whose weekly radio guests have been nothing short of the finest offerings the scene posseses...
A DJ whose own guestmixes have been aired on some of the most regarded international shows of heavy-weight DJs...
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you this year's 24th ranked DJ in the most participated-in yearly poll - the DJ Mag top 100 DJs...
I introduce to you the 2nd highest new entry of the year 2006, all the way up to the upper quarter of the chart...
I introduce: AMADEUS.
