Najib's Son Wanted Zouk Singapore's Guest DJ To Stop Performing So He Can Play Instead
The night took a disappointing turn for patrons of Zouk Singapore when guest DJ Fadi was reportedly forced to end his set early to make way for the son of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
For those not familiar with trance music, Fadi is one-half of popular Egyptian trance duo Aly & Fila, who have been voted among the top 100 DJs on DJ Mag since 2008.
Made up of Aly Amr Fathalah (Aly) and Fadi Wassef Naguib (Fila), Aly & Fila host an Internet radio show called 'Future Sound of Egypt' and have received airplay from the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, DJ Tiësto and many others. In September 2015, the duo made history when they joined the ranks of select names that have performed within the grounds of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt a.k.a. one of the last-standing wonders of the ancient world.
At present, both continue to produce music together, but only Fadi goes on tour and live performances, as Aly suffered a severe ear injury while performing and was advised to avoid loud music or risk losing hearing in that ear.
The incident, which happened on Saturday night, started when Norashman Najib allegedly requested for Fadi's set to be cut short so that he could play instead, despite not being in the performers' bill that night.
Fadi, a respected figure among the trance community and a regular fixture at Zouk Singapore, announced that he "won't play for Zouk anymore" before playing his last track and stepping off the deck.
