To get an idea of the future of music, you need to listen to DJ Travella. This producer 22, born Hamadi Hassani, has created one of the most exciting genres in recent years : singeli, where he injects an almost crackling cybernetic energy, in a semi-improvised style that incorporates production, DJing and live performance. A genre that has given rise to one of the most important developments in electronic music over the last five years.
Between the release of his debut album, ‘Mr Mixondo’, on Nyege Nyege Tapes in April 2023, and his recent series of European performances, which have seen him wield his trusty Bluetooth keyboard like Herbie Hancocket wielding his keytar solos, it’s clear that DJ Travella is making his mark.
