Sama' Abdulhadi has recorded the 100th edition of Mixmag's The Mix series, marking a milestone for the publication's long-running feature that has documented DJ culture since the format's inception.
Mixmag published the mix and accompanying interview on May 15, 2026, positioning the Palestinian DJ as the centennial contributor to a series that has previously featured established and emerging artists across electronic music's subgenres.
The Artist's Profile
Abdulhadi has built an international touring schedule while maintaining her position as one of the Middle East's most prominent techno artists. Based between Ramallah and various European cities, she has performed at fabric London, Berghain, and Boiler Room, while also organizing events in Palestine that have brought international attention to the region's underground music scene.
Her work extends beyond performance into advocacy for artistic freedom in areas with limited club infrastructure. This dual role as performer and cultural organizer has shaped her public profile within the broader electronic music community.
The Mix Format's History
The Mix series has served as both promotional platform and artistic statement since Mixmag established the format. The 100-episode mark represents a consistent editorial commitment to the recorded mix as a form of DJ expression, separate from live performance documentation or radio shows.
Previous contributors have used the format to showcase unreleased productions, highlight regional sounds, or demonstrate technical approaches to mixing. The series has maintained editorial selection rather than commercial or algorithmic curation.
Current Context
The release arrives as Abdulhadi continues a touring schedule that includes festival dates across Europe and North America through summer 2026. Her selection for this particular instalment reflects Mixmag's editorial positioning around artists who combine performance with broader cultural narratives.
The mix itself and full interview are available through Mixmag's website, following the publication's standard format of recorded audio paired with written conversation about track selection, career trajectory, and technical process.
