He also worked with Red Bull’s RBMA where he was given the chance to mingle musically with the ancient people of Luxor to create a spellbinding live performance in Cairo, fusing traditional folklore with electronica. Hassan also performed live for Boiler Room a few years ago, showing his versatilely as an artist and cementing his status as one of the most exciting artists right now.
