House Up Top, Electronica Below: Inside Lebanon's DJ Radar Board

Lebanon's (LB) DJ Radar board has only four names on it, but its shape is already clear. The top two spots belong to the house family and the bottom two to electronica. The gaps between them show where the scene's weight sits right now.

At No. 1, SAIID ZEIDAN leads with a credit score of 442 and 1,291 votes, the highest on the board for both. He plays tech house, and his profile shows 269 SoundCloud followers, 432 on TikTok and 8 on Mixcloud.

His two headline numbers agree with each other. He leads on fan votes and on credit score, and his lead over No. 2 is clear without being a runaway: 63 points and 197 votes.

Grave Jones sits second with 379 points from 1,094 votes, playing straight house. His largest listed platform is Instagram with 180 followers, followed by 104 Last.fm listeners, 82 on SoundCloud and 3 on Mixcloud.

Together, the top two make LB a house-led board. One plays tech house and one plays house, and both have more than a thousand votes. No one else on the board gets close to that.

Below them, the sound changes. DreadfulSin555 is third with a credit score of 153 and 287 votes, working in electronica. The listed platform figures are small, with 4 SoundCloud followers and 10 Last.fm listeners, so his support shows up mainly in the vote count.

The gap from second to third is the biggest on the board at 226 points. Any challenger to the house pair has to close that gap first.

Khoum Sessions completes the four, also listed under electronica, with 5 votes and a credit score of 0. It is the lowest spot on the board, but it is a spot. On a board this small, a handful of votes can change the order lower down.

The board has two genres and two tiers. House, in both its tech and classic forms, holds the top of the table, and electronica fills the rest. The four names split evenly by genre, but the house pair holds the large majority of the board's votes.

For a rising scene, that is a useful map. The leaders are clear, the challengers are named, and the distance between them can be measured. If the electronica side can turn its listeners into votes, this board could look very different the next time we check in.
