Najeh

Najeh is a Hamburg-based DJ and producer whose sound sits at the intersection of late '90s and early 2000s house, Hip Hop sampling culture and dancefloor instinct. Locked grooves, flying hi-hats, raw edges and soul. "The groove is always on top," he says.
Rooted in Hamburg's underground scene, Najeh is part of Café Soda, the city's defining house institution, as resident and music director. The collective built a reputation for sharp curation and serious bookings, becoming a platform that connected him with artists like Saoirse, Ryan Elliott, Cromby, Sally C and Chloé Caillet.
His breakout moment came through an accident. Digging for samples, he tracked down a vocal previously used by Patrick Topping on "Forget" - and built a track around it in a single session with his friend and producer Ben Evers. He saved it to a Dropbox folder he'd accidentally shared with Saoirse. Months later, he saw a video of her playing it to five thousand people losing their minds. That track is "Chica", now released on Saoirse's trUst Recordings in collaboration with Disorder. It is one of the most talked-about records of summer 2026, after a Circoloco Thailand video passed a million views, and the tune got support from DJs worldwide.
More is coming: releases on Luuk van Dijk's imprint and Chloé Caillet's Smiile label are lined up for the summer. "I never ran after trends," Najeh says. "I always did what I feel and love. The hunger never went away."
