Lebanon's Electronic Underground: Four Names Climbing the DJ Radar Board

Lebanon's presence on the DJ Radar board is compact but distinct: four artists, two anchored in house and two working the more experimental edges of electronica. It's a snapshot of a scene still defining itself, and the current rank order tells a clear story about where the momentum sits.

At the top of the Lebanese board is SAIID ZEIDAN, a tech house DJ carrying a credit score of 451 from 1,330 votes. That vote tally is the deepest of any Lebanese entrant, and it underpins his position at rank one. His footprint spreads across several platforms — 442 YouTube subscribers, 432 TikTok followers, 269 SoundCloud followers and 1,291 Last.fm listeners — giving him the widest cross-platform spread in the group. In a country with a slim board, that breadth matters: it's the profile of an artist reaching listeners in more than one place at once.

Just behind sits Grave Jones, a house DJ with a credit score of 397 and 1,169 votes. The gap between first and second is 54 points on credit score — enough separation to be meaningful, but close enough that the top two clearly belong in a tier of their own above the rest of the board. Grave Jones's numbers lean toward a smaller, tighter footprint: 180 Instagram followers, 82 on SoundCloud and 104 Last.fm listeners. Together, the two leaders make house — tech house and house proper — the defining sound of Lebanon's DJ Radar presence.

The back half of the board shifts genre entirely. DreadfulSin555 sits at rank three with a credit score of 251 from 518 votes, trading house grooves for electronica. The platform numbers here are lean — 4 SoundCloud followers and 10 Last.fm listeners — but the vote count keeps the artist comfortably on the board and signals a listener base that shows up where it counts on DJ Radar itself.

Rounding out the four is Khoum Sessions, also filed under electronica, at rank four with a credit score of 0 and 5 votes. It's the newest-looking profile on the Lebanese board, the kind of early-stage entry that a national ranking captures right at the starting line.

What emerges from these four is a scene with a clear center of gravity. House and tech house occupy the top two spots and carry the heaviest vote counts — SAIID ZEIDAN's 1,330 and Grave Jones's 1,169 dominate the tally — while electronica represents the exploratory tail. The drop from 1,169 votes at rank two to 518 at rank three is the sharpest step on the board, marking where the established names give way to the emerging ones.

Four artists is a small sample, and a small board rewards consistency and reach. Right now those advantages belong to the house camp, with SAIID ZEIDAN's multi-platform spread and Grave Jones's vote depth setting the standard the electronica entrants are chasing. As votes accumulate and profiles fill out, the story of Lebanon's electronic scene on DJ Radar is one worth checking back on — the foundations are set, and the order is anything but fixed.
