Omar ؏

New York City DJ and curator blending afrobeats, amapiano, and global club sounds.

Omar ؏ is a DJ, producer, and curator based in New York City who bridges global club sounds across his dynamic sets and event series. His musical palette draws heavily from the African diaspora, South Asia, the Caribbean, and the SWANA region, seamlessly blending genres like afrobeats, amapiano, afro house, batida, and baile funk. He has built a dedicated following through his viral live mixes and popular edits, including his afrobeats rework of the Rihanna track Needed Me and his Haare Haare and Champion blend. As a curator, he anchors his own recurring event brands, Omar's World and Sufi Sessions, which have traveled to venues like Elsewhere in New York City, Sleeping Village in Chicago, and Djoon in Paris. He recently performed at the Soulection fourteen year anniversary showcase in Brooklyn and recorded a live set for BPM Sessions. By treating the dancefloor as a space for cultural integration, Omar ؏ highlights the shared rhythmic lineage of global club music while pushing its boundaries forward.
