The Middle East and North Africa is brimming with talented artists and good music regardless of the genre. Aside from hip-hop and rap’s dominance over regional charts, the world of DJing is also finding itself on the brink of global recognition as the scene almost as a whole is experiencing a rise. With sets, dedicated parties, and festivals attracting larger crowds than ever, disc spinners from all points of the region are becoming the main event in their own right rather than just the supporting act.

As we witness the explosion of an entire pocket of music, below, we put together a list of nine up-and-coming DJs, with less than 10K followers on Instagram, to watch in the weeks, months, and years to come.
