Cue & A: Nour Fahmy - Your Favorite Cairene Raver
A sit down with one of Egypt's most prominent underground house and techno DJs to unpack his decade long career and Cairo's nightlife foibles
Nour Fahmy, the Cairo-based, self-proclaimed professional raver and DJ, is somewhat of an underground icon. Seeing his jovial gait behind the decks, or in fact, in a crowd is almost a sign of insurance - you are at a party worth being at.
Over a decade spanning career Fahmy has become a favourite booking amongst several generations of house and techno collectives and promoters - not just because he’s likely the person you would most want to party with till the early hours - but for his incredible knack for reading the room, intricately finding the right sounds at the right time to destroy a dance floor.
SceneNoise caught up with Fahmy to discuss the art of DJing, his experiences at clubs and festivals across the region, and the challenges Egypt’s nightlife faces to thrive.
