Not Your Habibi: Saliah (UK) + Special Guests

Not Your Habibi is back! You already know what time it is.

Hishik bishik in the speakers, Ammo somewhere in the corner, habibti energy from door to last track.

May 9 we’re back on the floor in Gothenburg.

Saliah (UK) lands for her first time in Sweden. One of those names you’ve been seeing everywhere! If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve seen her. From Habibi Riddim getting BBC Radio 1 love to selling out rooms across cities and recently KOKO London, her rise has been intentional & global. Saliah bridges music from across the SWANA region with bass-heavy UK club genres and beyond, creating sets that are both deeply rooted and forward-thinking.

3asal (Malmö) bringing that Gahba Garage energy. If you know, you know. Raw, no rules, straight habibti behavior behind the decks.

Mamdouh313 holding it down at home. Gothenburg 313. You know the references.

Opening by Club Maqam on vinyl, setting the tone early with sounds from the East Mediterranean and beyond.

Not Your Habibi is a *SWANA-led queer platform based in Gothenburg, moving between nightlife and culture. We create spaces where SWANA and diasporic references meet contemporary club culture. A space where our references are centered, not explained.
By us, for us, and everyone who moves with us.
*SWANA stands for Southwest Asia and North Africa. It’s a decolonial term used in place of labels like “Middle Eastern,” “Near Eastern,” “Arab world,” or “Islamic world,” which many see as rooted in colonial, Eurocentric, and orientalist perspectives. SWANA offers a more accurate and self-defined way of naming the region, while acknowledging the diversity of cultures, identities, and diasporas it holds.
