Bedouin, always moving, constantly creating their own space

Bedouin’s journey is one of deep-rooted cultural fusion, long-form storytelling, and a refusal to follow trends. The duo, made up of Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe, have carved a singular path in electronic music by bridging their Middle Eastern heritage with the energy of global club culture. Over the past decade, their genre-blending sound has become a staple at some of the world’s most influential stages, from Coachella and Tomorrowland to Burning Man, and in iconic venues like Brooklyn Mirage, Ushuaïa, Hï Ibiza and Pacha Ibiza. Their music carries an unmistakable narrative quality, one that invites listeners to step inside a sonic world that is as emotional as it is rhythmically rich.

At the heart of their artistic identity lies SAGA, their celebrated Ibiza residency. Since its launch in 2017, SAGA has stood apart for its emphasis on immersive musical journeys over formulaic programming, attracting audiences who come to truly listen rather than simply party. Now hosted at Chinois Ibiza, the residency remains one of the island’s most talked-about nights, earning them accolades such as “Best Night on Ibiza” at the 2019 DJ Awards. For Bedouin, the magic is in the unpredictability, taking the crowd somewhere unexpected, emotionally and sonically, each and every week.

Beyond the stage, Malki and Abousabe’s artistic outlook extends into the studio and their label, Human By Default. Their debut album, “Temple of Dreams”, released in 2023, was the culmination of years spent refining their sound — a work of intricate, atmospheric production steeped in narrative depth. The album’s accompanying remix package showcased their collaborative spirit, bringing in some of electronic music’s most respected names. Whether pressing their work to vinyl for a more tangible connection, reimagining classics like Pink Floyd’s “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” or curating marathon sets that stretch deep into the morning hours, Bedouin remain driven by a desire to tell stories through music — stories that bridge cultures, defy categories and resonate long after the last track fades.
