Bedouin: A Wednesday Saga

As of this year, Wednesdays are Bedouin’s at Pacha. The duo kicked off their SAGA residency back in 2017 at HEART and planned a move to Pacha for 2020. Then that pandemic hit, but the two finally made the much-awaited grand debut at the iconic club this year. It’s been only a season at Pacha but they’ve already managed to christen Saga into a household event. Celebrated for their Middle Eastern sonic vision and rhythms, Bedouin (i.e. Rami Abousabe and Tamer Malki) have released music on labels like Supernature, Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical, and All Day I Dream. They had their breakout moment rather quickly after playing a sunrise set at the Robot Heart Bus at Burning Man in 2013. Years later, they launched their own imprint Human By Default, debuting with their “Whistleman” EP. Their Wednesday Saga residency opened on May 25 and will come to a close on October 5. Over the past three months, Bedouin have been joined by a robust variety of artists like Black Coffee, Bonobo, Deep Dish, Damian Lazarus, Acid Pauli, Audiofly, Birds Of Mind, Bob Moses, and more. This ambitious duo took on two summer residencies this year: in addition to Wednesdays at Pacha, Bedouin have been spending their Tuesdays this summer at Scorpios Mykonos. Bedouin will be joined by andhim for the September 7 edition of A Wednesday Saga at Pacha. Between Pacha, Cova Santa, Club Chinois, and Hï, the “super-house dreamteam” andhim  (Simon Haehnel and Tobias Müller) have certainly been all over Ibiza this summer. The German duo began collaborating back in 2010 and have been at it since. They’ve worked with artists like Diplo, Theophilus London, Högni Egilsson, Groove Armada, and Elderbrook. Their Miles To Go 2017 documentary chronicled their ten-day trip in an RV across the West Coast. Earlier this year in March, andhim released the celebrated club-pop remix of Claptone’s “Feel This Way”.
