Baloo is a pillar in Saudi Arabia’s electronic music movement, with a career spanning decades across the region. As a leading force behind MDLBEAST, Baloo has helped redefine Saudi Arabia’s nightlife and its soundscape, bringing global attention to a scene that’s rapidly evolving and uniquely its own.
Known for his dynamic and deeply curated sets, Baloo moves effortlessly across genres—from deep and minimal house to soulful disco with raw, gritty funk — crafting experiences that are both moving and unpredictable. His musical roots run deep, drawing from jazz, funk, R&B, and disco, which gives his sound a warmth and groove that sets him apart. In 2021, he launched Gabu, a record label and event concept that reflects the raw, gritty and very groovy sound Baloo brings to dance floors.
With pop-up events planned across the region and beyond, Gabu serves as a platform for boundary-pushing talent, curated by one of the region’s most respected tastemakers.
