Lebanese-born and Canadian living in Montreal for the past 18 years, Karim has been DJing since 2009, exploring different genres and variations. Trance is mainly what peaked his interest and lured him into the world of nightlife and mixing. He then formed a duo with a friend where his music transitioned into the Progressive House and Techno scene, and performed at a few venues in Montreal such as Time, Koko Lounge and Karma. Karim’s personal taste in music is mostly influenced by rock, funk, and disco, with a specific soft spot for artists from the 80’s such as Rick James, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Prince, George Clinton, Sade and many other legends within that era. He also has a fondness for old school hip hop (Nate Dogg, J Dilla, Slick Rick, ATCQ…) and Reggae/Dub. In 2021, Karim has been part of GotSoul Records (Jojo Flores), some of the venues where he held residencies included: Marcus Four Seasons - Nacarat Fairmont Hotel and other venues in Montreal. At the same time, he also formed a dj duo collective with Anthony Saade called Beiroots Groove Ensemble. As of 2022, he has been working independently as Dusty FingerZ and as a DJ duo with Anthony (Beiroots Groove Ensemble) Catch them every friday @ Baby Farwest and holding a monthly residency at Sans Soleil along with different pop up events.
