The challenge was simple yet profound: "Chino, play old school deep house with feeling and bring a groove back to Doha." In a landscape dominated by the beats of afro tech, Chino, along with Steve Paris, set out to reignite the deep house spirit. Their back-to-back set was more than a performance; it was a call to the old faithful, an invitation to dance, connect, and relive the era when music was a communal journey.
The night was electric. From the first beat drop, it was clear this was no ordinary set. The air buzzed with nostalgia and freshness, as classic deep house tracks blended seamlessly with contemporary twists. The crowd, a melting pot of the city's music lovers, moved as one, united by the beats. The ODAAT family's presence was palpable, their energy infectious, creating an ambiance where every attendee felt like part of a larger, harmonious family.
Chino's mastery over the decks was evident. Each track was a carefully chosen chapter in a story of musical resurgence. Alongside Steve Paris, they crafted a narrative that was not just heard but felt, a rhythmic conversation between DJ and dancer. The set was a journey through time and emotion, leaving the crowd enraptured and eager for more.
For those who missed out, fear not. The essence of the night has been captured in a live recording available through Vinyl Vandals. We invite you to experience the magic, feel the groove, and be part of Doha's musical renaissance. Stay tuned for more events and stories that celebrate the power of music to connect and inspire.
The ODAAT event with Chino and Steve Paris was not just a trip down memory lane; it was a declaration that deep house, with its soulful beats and communal spirit, is here to stay in Doha. In a world eager to reconnect, this event stood as a testament to the enduring power of music to bring people together, proving that in Doha, the rhythm never dies.
“Thank you to Joe, Zena, and Laymoon (The ODAAT Family) for having me. The vibe was electric, and the groove was a throwback to 2014, when the Doha landscape was totally different from today. ”
