DJ Sta$h

DJ Sta$h is one of the most distinctive producers coming out of the Dutch music scene right now. Born and raised in Zoetermeer, he cut his teeth on house and urban sets before carving out something entirely his own: a sound built on Raï, the pop music of North Africa, fused with the production weight of Western club music. That sound found its breakthrough with "Zin Ariffi," a single that's passed 4.6 million streams on Spotify and 11 million views on YouTube. It's the record that put his name on the map, and it's a clear signal of what he does better than almost anyone in his lane, taking a regional tradition and giving it a global stage. He backs that up in the booth. With over 100 shows a year, Sta$h is one of the most in-demand DJs in the Netherlands, known for sets that move between Raï and contemporary urban music without losing the room for a second. He's now extending that reach through new collaborations across Morocco and the broader MENA region, at a moment when North African sound is breaking into the global mainstream faster than almost any other scene in dance music. Sta$h isn't following that wave. He's one of the artists driving it.
