Ana la habibi(أنا لحبيبي)
Ana la habibi is a listening practice as much as a DJ set.
A slow research made of borrowed tastes, shared time, and quiet influence.
The tracks move between Afro funk, Zouk, and Rumba, not as genres to be showcased, but as traces of transmission. Music learned through proximity. Through repetition. Through someone else’s joy or sadness. Songs you don’t choose alone, arriving through influence rather than choice.
DJing here is treated as archiving: collecting what connects us to people, to places we’ve been near or far from, to moments that linger. Some sounds come from elsewhere before they become familiar. Some rhythms take time before they feel like home.
This set is built on that shift, how affection reshapes listening. How another person’s history quietly bends your own taste. How music carries memory without naming it, and distance without explaining it.
Ana la habibi lives in that in-between space
between influence and discovery,
between past and present,
between bodies, cities, and emotional geographies.
It is for those who understand music not as an ambience
but as a way humans leave marks on each other.
