Ouissam

Ouissam Mokretar has changed the dance music scene wherever he has laid down roots. His approach to a dance floor is as simple as it is intuitive and elegant: nothing that can make a room shudder with joy is barred from his selections.

The founder of Hong Kong’s Cliche Records, he was one of the first in that city to cultivate a disco-house-techno synthesis that shifted the local understanding of what could be danced to. He went on to create the Homesick and Fragrant Harbor labels, before setting his sights on Hanoi in Vietnam, establishing the dance mecca, Savage. He also curates Equation festival, now entering its fifth year.

Ouissam Mokretar is a DJ with a pure love and appreciation for the power of music, transmitting that love to his dance floors. Moving effortlessly between disco, house and techno, long-lost gems collide with cutting-edge groove to produce a sonic aesthetic that is simply irresistible.
