DJ Hamida Breaks Tradition with Surprise Winter Album Release

After 16 years of career, it is the first time that the Franco-Moroccan record producer DJ Hamida releases an album in the middle of winter. A surprise for fans who were only expecting it in the summer.

"À La Bien Winter Edition". This is the surprise offered on Friday, March 3 by Ahmed Sidi Taanoun alias DJ Hamida to his fans. Nicknamed the "artist of the summer", he has over a billion views on YouTube, 4 million followers on social media, 150 million streams and over 1 million listeners per month. This new opus has recorded the involvement of several artists such as Leck, Saf, Youbig, Mohammed Assaf, Aïcha Maya, Cappucino, and many others. In an interview with Sudinfo, DJ Hamida said that this unexpected album responds to the evolution of music consumption.

"Now, everything goes very fast with social networks and streaming platforms. Also, it’s a challenge for me to produce other tracks than those that correspond to summer and partying," he specified. The artist is undertaking to release as many albums as there are seasons for the delight of music lovers. "I have more than 15 years of career and I have to build loyalty among the people who follow me. Music is going so fast, keeping my fan base and keeping close and tight ties with them is my priority. Without them, I wouldn’t be here," he said.

DJ Hamida is also the title "Déconnectés", with Lartiste, Kayna Samet and Rim’k. Released in 2014, it remains in the top 50 on TikTok in France. He is delighted to have created a classic "We call that luck. Music is like a game of chance, otherwise it would be easy. If a single or a classic had a recipe, everyone would do it."
