Over the past few years, Day After Festival talent R3HAB has quickly become a reputable name within the dance music scene. His constant motivation and arsenal of productions have created a unique energy that keeps his international audience coming back for more.

Born Fadil El Ghoul, the Dutch native acquired a taste for electronic music when he was 17 years old, but his parents were adamant about a college education first and foremost. It wasn’t until after he received a degree in Commercial Economics that R3HAB could truly devote to his music career, “Yeah so I had to finish [university] for my mother and then I got back into music. Now I’m producing music full time. It’s awesome and it’s going really well. I thought it would be hard to make music full time because you have to get inspiration. It worked out pretty well though.” Worked out pretty well is big understatement.

Adopting the stage name of R3HAB, the talent burst onto the scene in late 2008 after producing “Mrkrstft” with fellow Dutchman and Day After Festival headliner Hardwell. The track became a huge club hit and R3HAB gained global support from fans and DJs alike. R3HAB quickly became one of the frontrunners of the Dutch house subgenre, alongside Afrojack and Chuckie, and was given the unofficial title as the most in-demand Dirty Dutch remixer. His skills have allowed him to work with artists like Madonna, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Pitbull.

Since his debut, R3HAB has gone on to release a series banging tracks including his remix with Quintino on Tiësto’s “Chasing Summers,” “Pump The Party” with Ferruccio Salvo, and more recently, his efforts have shot up Beatport’s Top 10 with “Revolution,” a collaboration with Ummet Ozcan and NERVO.

Currently celebrating the premiere of the smasher “Flight” with Steve Aoki, get ready to pump the party with R3HAB at Panama’s Day After Festival on January 10-12th. Tickets are now available, purchase your tickets online today!
