Cairo-based ZULI debuted on Lee Gamble's UIQ label with the Bionic Ahmed EP to resounding acclaim from JUNO, Fact, and The Vinyl Factory in early 2016.
In Cairo he's a key player in the KiK (Kairo is Koming) group and one of the heads behind the city's pivotal collective, VENT, as documented by Resident Advisor,

With DJ support by Demdike Stare and Kode9 on Radio 1, ZULI's debut 12" covers a unique electronic perspective taking cues from classic UK rufige and
