To mark the occasion, he’s selected six essential records that have shaped his sound and continue to influence his creative direction. From timeless deep cuts to modern gems, here are Adham Zahran’s top picks.

Underground Resistance – Timeline 

A classic from Detroit that’s always essential for me to play.. super deep chords with lovely piano and bass this is surely a timeless track and a favourite deep house gem.

Hudson People – Trip To Your Mind 

Dope and clean disco gem that always hits the spot.. this track especially for those late night afterhours before ending you’re set or just a nice sunny day.

Davina – Don’t You Want it (Extended) 

Again a perfect tribute to 90’s house.. this track always sets the right mood with those deep chords and lovely vocals from Davina.

Black Rascals feat Roger Harris - Keeping My Mind (Vocal) 

Super deep jazzy vibes on this one.. absolutely timeless gem from Black Rascals and featuring the lovely vocal from Roger Harris with really dope lyrics.

Schmoov! – Playground 

Another timeless deep house classic that just always feels when you listen to it.. Deep chords and super smooth bassline.. always in my bag!

Funkineven feat Jay Daniel – Discipline 

Again with the Detroit theme.. This one is a heavy hitter with lovely chords and super analogue bassline and raw drums.. perfect to play for those long 5 hour sets.
