ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: HAMEZSome artists demand attention. Others pull you in so gradually that, before you know it, you’re completely locked in their world. HAMEZ belongs to the latter.

His sets evolve with patience, drawing the dancefloor into a continuous flow through refined rhythms, spacious textures, and a carefully honed sense of atmosphere.After years of dedicated artistic development, he returns with a sound that is focused, uncompromising, and unmistakably his own. We’re excited to welcome hin to Varvara for the very first time. This is one debut you won’t want to miss.
