Rising Global DJ Kenza Kayati Takes Over Ilios This October

Saturdays at Ilios turn up the tempo on 10 October, as rising international DJ Kenza Kayati takes over the decks for an afternoon of deep house, poolside energy and laid-back weekend atmosphere at Surf Abu Dhabi.

Hailing from North Africa and shaped by her years in Paris, Kenza has developed a distinctive sound that is sexy, deep and groove-driven, combining heavy percussion, strong basslines and rich melodies with an elegant and magnetic presence behind the decks.

Set against the Aegean-inspired backdrop of award-winning Ilios, guests can spend the afternoon by the pool as Kenza builds the energy from day into evening, bringing her signature sound to one of Abu Dhabi’s standout weekend destinations.

Kenza’s rapid rise has seen her perform across Europe, the Middle East, North America and India, while her acclaimed HÖR Berlin set helped place her firmly on the international electronic music radar. She has shared stages with influential names including Solomun, Black Coffee, Jamie Jones, Gordo, Mahmut Orhan and Arodes, establishing herself as one of the exciting new names emerging on the global house scene.

With poolside dining, drinks and sunbed packages on offer, the session brings Kenza Kayati’s deep, percussive sound to Ilios for another high-energy Saturday on Hudayriyat Island.
