DJ Wahid Paradis

Wahid Paradis Wahid Paradis' journey into music began in school, spinning cassette tapes at school parties long before digital decks were a thing. By the late ’90s, he was an active figure in Beirut’s nightlife, playing in a range of bars and clubs across the city. After relocating to Rotterdam in 2001, Wahid committed fully to vinyl. He became deeply involved in the Dutch underground, playing and organizing hundreds of illegal parties and art events across the country. His AV rental company grew out of an illegal sound system, first emerging at squat-based Tekno (Gabber) parties—where Wahid often curated chill-out stages focused on electro sounds. Now based in Berlin, he plays eclectic sets shaped by decades of subcultural experience. He’s most at home in open-air environments or at events where the dancefloor isn’t king—where listeners are free to move, listen, and get lost. And more often than not, they end up dancing their asses off anyway.
