Brakery invites the Tunisian NTS resident to lay down some Arabic Pop + Disco

Cheb Mimo is a DJ, curator, writer, label manager and music archivist with roots in Tunisia and Algeria. Having grown up in Tunisia and lived in Mexico and France before settling in London, he has developed a unique approach to DJing that blends deep musical research with dancefloor energy.

A true multi-genre selector, his sets explore sounds from across the globe, yet they are deeply rooted in the rhythms and melodies of North Africa and the Middle East—the sonic landscapes of his heritage. Whether weaving together jazz, reggae, rai, disco, or electronic music, his selections tell stories that transcend borders.
