Lebanon on DJ Radar: House Sets the Pace, Electronica Fills the Margins

Lebanon currently has four DJs on the DJ Radar board. That's a small sample, but it already shows a clear pattern. The top two names both come from the house family. The two names below them both list electronica as their main genre.

The board doesn't tell the whole story of a country's club culture. It does give a useful snapshot of which artists fans are actively backing.

SAIID ZEIDAN holds the No. 1 spot with a credit score of 449 from 1,291 votes. That's the highest vote total on the Lebanese board, and the credit score leads the field too.

ZEIDAN's main genre is tech house, the most groove-driven entry among the country's top names. On the platforms we track, ZEIDAN has 269 SoundCloud followers and 8 on Mixcloud. The vote count is what defines this profile: fans are turning out on DJ Radar itself.

Grave Jones sits at No. 2 with a credit score of 379 from 1,094 votes. The gap to the top spot is 70 points and 197 votes. That's a real lead, not a photo finish, but it's close enough to make the top of the board worth watching.

Grave Jones is filed under house, which keeps the top two in the same genre family. The platform footprint is spread across several channels: 180 Instagram followers, 82 on SoundCloud, 104 Last.fm listeners and 3 on Mixcloud. It's an even spread rather than a profile resting on one channel.

At No. 3, DreadfulSin555 changes the mood. With electronica as the main genre, this is the first name on the board outside the house family. DreadfulSin555 has a credit score of 153 from 287 votes.

That is well behind the top two. It's still a meaningful base of support for an artist working outside the dancefloor-first sounds above. The tracked platform numbers are small so far: 4 SoundCloud followers and 10 Last.fm listeners. On this board, votes are clearly the stronger signal.

Khoum Sessions completes the list at No. 4, also under electronica. The entry has 5 votes and a credit score of 0. That puts it at the very start of its DJ Radar run. Whether it climbs depends on whether listeners turn up to back it.

Two things stand out in Lebanon's ranking.

First, house runs the top. Tech house and house hold the first two spots, and together they account for most of the votes on the board. If you're looking for where Lebanese fan energy is concentrated on DJ Radar right now, it's there.

Second, electronica gives the scene its range. Half the board sits outside the house family. That suggests a scene that isn't defined by a single sound, even if one sound currently leads.

The gap between No. 2 and No. 3 is the clearest dividing line on the board. Grave Jones sits at 379 and DreadfulSin555 at 153. Closing that gap would take a serious rise in support for the electronica side.

The most interesting race is at the top. A 70-point margin can change, and the two house names are separated by fewer than 200 votes. Further down, the question is whether Lebanon's electronica artists can build enough support to challenge the house-led order.

For now, the board is small, the leaders are clear, and there's room to grow. Fans who want to shape the next snapshot know where to cast their votes.
