Ahadadream’s music is characterized by pure percussive energy, delivering club belters filled with skittish drum rolls that have become must-have selections for top DJs. His production style, focused on drums, showcases a distinct blend of influences from the UK, his native Pakistan, the African Diaspora, and beyond.
In a recent notable collaboration with Skrillex and Priya Ragu on the track TAKA, Ahadadream infuses South Asian elements, combining his high-energy percussion with Priya Ragu’s soulful R&B vocals. TAKA gained immense popularity after its debut on Ahadadream’s Boiler Room session, featuring a special appearance by Skrillex during the live premiere. The track received widespread acclaim from industry heavyweights like Peggy Gou, Fred Again, Four Tet, Dixon, and Chris Lake. Upon its release, BBC Radio 1 honored TAKA as the Hottest Record, Essential New Tune, and Track ID, achieving a milestone akin to Calvin Harris’ success with ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ in 2015.

Industry recognition further solidifies with The Guardian naming him as ‘One To Watch’, Beatport selecting him as one of their NEXT Artists for 2024, and DJ Mag nominating him for the prestigious Best DJ award.
