ANDOR GABRIEL WHATS UP
From Romania with love
Please introduce yourself and describe your sound. Hello! I’m Andor Gabriel, a DJ and producer with a longstanding passion for electronic music. My sound is a fusion of Afro-house and Melodic- house, featuring organic influences and lively rhythms that aim to take listeners on a unique musical journey.
How long have you been DJ'ing overall, and when did you move to Dubai? What have been your standout DJ moments here?
I started DJ’ing back in 2004, so I have over 15 years of experience behind the decks. I moved to Dubai to explore new opportunities and broaden my musical horizons. Some of my standout moments here include collaborating with top venues and brands, sharing my music with an international crowd that’s always eager for fresh sounds and exciting experiences.
What are your top 3 Dubai venues/events and why?
Be Beach: I love the fresh, laid-back vibe—perfect for blending Afro- house elements with upbeat Melodic-house grooves.
Iris: This sophisticated venue encourages me to craft refined, emotionally resonant sets that truly connect with the audience
Sphere: With cutting-edge technology and a premium setup, Sphere offers an immersive audio-visual environment that really elevates the performance.4. Where can we catch you performing in February, and who will you be performing with
February is a busy month for me. I’ll be playing at: Space – Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt), Hype – Dubai (UAE), Be Beach – Dubai (UAE), Crush Jungle – Craiova (RO), Obsession – Cluj Napoca (RO), Vault – Dubai (UAE)...and more dates to be announced soon! I’ll be performing alongside both local and international DJs and artists, and I can’t wait to create some memorable nights together.
What’s been your biggest release to date, and what further releases/collabs do you have coming up?
My most notable release so far is “Temperatura,” signed with Spinnin’ Records, which received an incredible response. Next up is a collaboration with Nes Mburu, dropping on Natural Elements Records on February 27th. In March, I’ll be releasing another track on Go Deeva, featuring Valeron. These projects are very close to my heart, and I’m excited to share them with everyone.
