DJ Bob from White Club Beirut

DJ BOB has come a long way. From his early years behind the decks of old-school house music sets to his tour-de-force as the man behind White’s distinctive dancefloor sound, his passion for dance music has defined his journey. 

Like many influential DJs and producers of his generation, he began his musical apprenticeship the time-honored way: working the turntables. The sounds of latin, jazz and disco had an early influence on his sonic style, including names such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Ray Barretto, Cerrone, Stevie Wonder, Kool & The Gang, Aretha Franklin and Earth, Wind & Fire. 

Soon he was gaining a reputation as an innovator at the local funky house music scene in the late 90s. 

The year 2006 was a breakthrough for DJ Bob. It saw the release of his first single “Beirut 06” featuring N. Costantine, which reached anthem status across the Middle East and proved to be a turning point in his production career. 

A string of hits followed: he produced another massive hit single in the summer of 2008: ‘Show Them Love’ with N. Costantine, featuring Keith Thompson. This “global peace message disguised as a dancefloor bomb” was quickly followed by Summer Suite Vol.1 with Keith Thompson, and in 2009, the launch of the seminal series, Pure White. 

DJ Bob’s collaboration with the famed Ibiza saxophonist Ivan M spawned the hit single ‘Ibiza Swans’. 

Currently, DJ Bob is a resident at two of most exclusive clubs in the Middle East, White and Eight, a resident DJ at Radio NRJ Lebanon, and the creative mind and driving force behind Paradisco. A debut album is planned for release in early 2011 involving collaborations from local and international artists.
