Karam, in art Toubba, is a Dubai based, multi faceted DJ, promoter, founder of a festival and director of a production company. As an active supporter of the international underground music scene, he is dedicated to crafting his communication skills in order to deliver his message of encouragement to the world. Karam really cares about - to quote him literally - the sacred ground of expression we call dancefloor.

Being born in Turkey and later having moved to Dubai, Karam has always had a sweet spot for uncovering and being a positive influence for underground music movements. In the early 2000, he became an MC for hip hop battles and later a vocalist for Metal bands. His personal journey brought him to discover electronic music with drum and bass and landed him to the realm of techno, which is currently what occupies a special place in his heart.

In our chat, Karam paints the picture of the not-so-known underground music movements in Dubai and tells us about the launch of the festival Rave Affair whose objective is to put the place’s music culture on the world map. He is also, resident of Rave Movement, music director of Decibel DXB, he runs a business on the side, but what he really aspires to do is grow as a DJ. Last but not least, Karam shares how - to be understood and connect truly with others - we may want to learn to freely express the emotions in our heart and combine this with a sharp use of words to ensure the message is delivered clearly .
