Dish Dash, the Saudi Arabian duo comprised of brothers Hassan and Abbas Ghazzawi, have returned to the IN ACT label with their latest single, “Angel.” Released on July 3, 2026, the track follows the momentum of their previous collaborations, including “All I Wanna Do” with Glowal and “Wadi Wadi” on Idris Elba’s Sound International. As central figures in the rise of electronic music in the Kingdom, the brothers have utilized their platform to push the boundaries of melodic tech-house, blending expressive vocals and piano motifs into a soundscape defined by renewal and connection.
The Evolution of Saudi Electronic Music
The release of “Angel” is accompanied by two distinct remixes—one by Brussels-based producer Samer Soltan and another by Beirut-based artist Jade—each offering a unique perspective on the original’s emotional core. For Dish Dash, however, the music serves as a catalyst for a broader conversation about the Saudi electronic music community they have helped cultivate. Earlier this year, the duo made headlines by setting a Guinness World Record, uniting 61 DJs from across Saudi Arabia for the largest online DJ mixing video relay.
Reflecting on the logistical feat, the brothers explain that the project was inspired by a campaign with Lucid. “Breaking a world record felt like the right way to carry that spirit through music,” they note. The success of the event served as a powerful testament to the connectivity of the local scene. “It honestly confirmed what we had already felt for years, which is that the community is much more connected than people think. Everyone was excited to be part of it, and nobody really cared about individual recognition. The focus was on doing something together.”
Fostering Growth and Collaboration
When asked about common misconceptions regarding the Saudi scene, the duo emphasizes that the passion for electronic music has existed for many years; the current shift is simply one of visibility. “Many international artists are surprised by how knowledgeable the audience is. People here genuinely care about the music, follow artists closely, and understand different genres,” they explain. This depth of engagement is what they believe will continue to drive the region’s growth.
Looking toward the future, the brothers stress that the next generation of Saudi talent requires more than just financial backing. “The biggest thing is opportunity. Young artists need platforms to play, release music, and show what they do. Support does not always have to be financial. Sometimes it is a warm-up slot, feedback on a demo, a release opportunity, or simply introducing someone to the right people.” By prioritizing collaboration over competition, Dish Dash remains committed to ensuring that the Saudi electronic music community continues to thrive on a global stage.
