Abdulhadi’s story flows through Palestine and Beirut, allowing her technical precision to merge with a powerful storytelling — a sound shaped by the urgency of Lebanon’s nightlife. Her sets are driven by an intuitive layering of intense rhythms, carrying listeners through dynamic, emotive arcs. Building local scenes is central to her mission—her creative hub, Union, in Ramallah, empowers artists facing geo-political restrictions. Internationally recognised through an iconic Boiler Room performance which launched her into low-earth orbit, she uses her platform for advocacy, launching initiatives like Resilience, which supports marginalised creatives worldwide. Whether collaborating with Hawtin or Moudaber, Abdulhadi navigates genres fluidly, crafting electrifying performances. Her involvement in political misalignments has provided Sama’ with her own version of the overview effect, where she finds true resilience and instinctive creativity to deal with an ever-changing world.Sama’ Abdulhadi, confronting boundaries head-on.
