Hawaa means desire in Arabic. It is a longing that burns, glows, transforms. When I was invited once again to play for the Arab queer community of Hamburg, I felt a deep joy, an affirmation, a return. This set is my offering. It is a sonic journey drenched in desire, soaked in love, and ignited by heat. From slow sensual pulses to ecstatic eruptions, these sounds are for every body that knows longing, every heart that resists erasure, every spirit that insists on joy. May Hawaa wrap itself around you like a warm night wind. With love, Saeleen Bouvar

After many requests to share my set from the Queeriental Party at Kampnagel, I’ve finally mixed it down and uploaded it! It was a truly magical night that brought back memories of the Leilasia parties in the early 2000s – a vibrant blend of Mediterranean pop and pulsating electronic beats. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I loved playing it for all my beautiful habibis on the dancefloor. The artwork shows the beautiful Raj Rouge and Sheikha. Love you both so much!

Last night´s Salon Queertronique was on fire! I re-mixed some of the tracks I played yesterday for you to enjoy it to the fullest!

On the dazzling night of Transtronica Icons: A Night for Suzy, Saeleen Bouvar unleashed together with Hausvrau on the mic with Live Vocals an unforgettable musical journey in honor of Suzy, the transcendent icon of the evening from Beirut. This night celebrated trans brilliance with an electrifying mix of sensuality, rhythm, and rebellion. This set features a fierce lineup of trans artists such as Valeria Vix, Pabllo Vittar, and Hausvrau, seamlessly blending Latinx beats, oriental melodies, and the soaring anthems of hyperpop. The vibe was unapologetically sexy, wildly passionate, and alive with queer energy, creating a soundscape where tradition and futurism collided in perfect harmony.

This year´s Fusion Festival left me with a beautiful memory of a crowd who filled the whole Cloud Cuckoo up to the roof! Here you have an excerpt of the set I played. I hope it brings back good memories to you as well!
