Saudi brothers Hassan and Abbas Ghazzawi, who record and perform as Dish Dash, return to the IN ACT label on July 3, 2026, with their new single “Angel.” The release follows a productive stretch that included “All I Wanna Do” with Glowal and “Wadi Wadi” on Idris Elba’s Sound International imprint, and it arrives as the duo continue to occupy a central position in Saudi Arabia’s growing electronic music community.
“Angel” is built around melodic tech-house, expressive vocals, piano motifs, and a driving rhythm, with themes of reconnection and renewal running through the record. The release package includes two remixes that extend the original in distinct directions. Brussels-based producer Samer Soltan reshapes the track into a more direct club cut while retaining its emotional core, while Beirut-based producer Jade draws on his background in underground events and Middle Eastern electronic music to offer a more personal reinterpretation.
Alongside the single, Dish Dash have been speaking about a milestone they reached earlier this year: a Guinness World Record for the largest online DJ mixing video relay, which brought together 61 DJs from across Saudi Arabia in a single continuous mix. The project originated through a campaign with Lucid, whose focus on record-breaking provided the conceptual framework for the musical achievement. In conversation with Magnetic Magazine, the duo described the record less as a personal accomplishment and more as a reflection of the community they have spent years helping to build.
Coordinating 61 artists across different cities and styles reinforced what Dish Dash say they had already observed: that Saudi Arabia’s electronic music community is more collaborative and more tightly connected than many outside the region recognise. They noted that no individual artist was focused on personal recognition during the project, and that the collective commitment to a shared goal was what made it possible.
The brothers also addressed persistent misconceptions about club culture in the Kingdom. While many international observers treat the scene as a recent development, Dish Dash point out that the passion for electronic music has existed in Saudi Arabia for many years. What has shifted, they explain, is the ability to experience it openly. They add that international artists who perform there are frequently surprised by how knowledgeable and genre-aware Saudi audiences are.
As frontmen of Soundstorm Festival, one of the region’s largest electronic music events, Dish Dash have a platform that extends well beyond their own releases. When asked about what the next generation of Saudi DJs and producers needs most, they pointed to opportunity in practical forms: warm-up slots, demo feedback, release access, and introductions to the right people. Financial support, they noted, is not always the primary requirement. Visibility and mentorship carry equal weight in a scene that is still expanding.
The Guinness World Record, they said, did not change their sense of responsibility toward Saudi electronic music so much as it confirmed it — a reminder that their role reaches beyond their own catalogue and into the broader community around them.
