Blazing a trail across big-room house’s synth-soaked, minimalist darts and massive drops, R3HAB—the stage moniker of DJ/producer Fadil El Ghoul—propelled Dutch EDM to vertiginous new heights. A festival fixture with a global standing boosted by edgy remixes for the likes of Rihanna, the high-flying artist hasn’t let success define his next creative moves. The latter part of the 2010s saw him sharpen his melodic chops with sinuous dives into dance-pop: 2018’s “Lullaby” with Mike Williams is gorgeously airy bubblegum, while 2019’s singsong earworm “All Around the World (La La La)” with A Touch of Class became a platinum-selling hit in a handful of countries. R3HAB has continued to expand his sound via bubbly beats and style-bending collabs, teaming up with Afrobeats crooner Mr Eazi and Australian singer Wafia on 2021’s delicately emotional “I Wanna Run Away” and Romanian EDM diva Inna on 2023’s R&B-flavored Sash! flip “Rock My Body.” Whether flirting with reggaetón or synth-pop and country, R3HAB knows exactly how to pick the perfect vocalist for just the right hook.
