Day After Artist Profile: R3HAB

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!

Anna Lunoe

In the early days of Australia’s dance music boom, Sydney-bred Anna Lunoe became known as one of the best emerging DJs in the thriving Australian music scene. Her excellent track selections and charismatic presence behind the decks later translated to airwaves, festival stages, and pop charts, as she started hosting a Sydney-based radio show for the FBi station, began opening for acts like M.I.A, Diplo, A-Trak, and Flosstradamus, and became the first female to head Ministry of Sound AU’s Clubbers Guide compilation series — the three of which she worked on went gold.

Following a move to Los Angeles, Lunoe quickly established herself as a notable producer within the scene through her debut “Real Talk” collaboration with Touch Sensitive, which maintained a No. 1 spot on Beatport’s Indie Dance chart for four months straight. Around the same time, her “I Met You” tag-team with Flume rose to multi-million plays on Youtube.

Anna’s incorporation of her original vocals continued to become a major part of her refined-yet-playful signature with tracks like “Breathe” (Fool’s Gold), “Bass Drum Dealer [B.D.D.]” (NEST), “Satisfaction” (Ultra), and “Radioactive” (OWSLA). In addition to releasing a continuous stream of music, Anna offered catchy setlist highlights during her stops at Lollapalooza, Ultra, EDC Las Vegas — where she made history as the first solo female act to play their main stage — and a stretch of US dates in support of The Weeknd. In 2017, amongst a packed tour schedule, Grammy award winning, Diplo tapped Anna to support him on her home turf for his sold out Australian tour. Closing out the year, Anna headlined her own HYPERHOUSE curated stage 8 months pregnant playing one of the festivals most acclaimed sets and to much awe.

After nearly a decades worth of extensive touring, production work, remix EP curation, and cultivating a fanbase from all corners of the world, Lunoe was approached by Zane Lowe in 2015 to help launch the Apple Music-fronted Beats1 radio platform. Here, she debuted her HYPERHOUSE brand, which would serve as her widest-reaching outlet for championing rising and established talent to date. Nearly three years after debuting the show, Lunoe continues to thrive as Beats1’s dance music resident expert, showcasing some of the best emerging and established talent.

Steamrolling into 2018 following a several month hiatus from touring, the connoisseur of innovative and progressive textures has pushed her sound into an exciting new territory. Lunoe returns with the new foot stomping single “Blaze of Glory”, an anthemic pop focused banger that taps into the raw spirit and energy that has made her one of the most exciting names in dance music. Spurred by the birth of her daughter, Lunoe found new inspiration and a surge of creativity to create her latest body of music. Continually breaking boundaries, Lunoe is ready to face 2018 head on with her new sound and appearances all year at leading festivals around the world including Sonico, S10 Festival, Electric Forest and Tomorrowland Belgium.

Keep your eyes peeled as Anna continues to solidify her role as one of the true powerhouses of the dance music landscape.
