His sets and productions are infused with a commit- ment to representation and community, reflecting his personal journey and the broader message of accep- tance.
Fafi’s dedication to organizing queer club nights in smaller cities is a testament to his commitment to community.
“Growing up in Groningen, I felt a lack of queer spaces. Many inclusive venues had closed, leaving a gap in the local scene”.
To fill this void, Fafi co-founded Butts, a bimonthly club night aimed at bringing the queer community together.
“It’s crucial to keep these spaces alive,” he says. “They might be someone’s first experience with the liberating culture of nightlife.”
“Clubs are places where people exchange ideas and challenge their thoughts”.
Beyond providing an inclusive dance floor, Butts hosts workshops, screenings, and discussions.
“We need to actively work to make clubs inclusive for everyone,”
By fostering a welcoming environment, Fafi is helping to keep the spirit of electronic dance music’s origins alive and relevant.
A MESSAGE TO THE QUEER COMMU- NITY
Fafi’s message to the queer community is one of unity and celebration.
“In unity, we find strength and support,” he says.
“Let’s continue to celebrate our differences and uplift each other.”
Through his work, Fafi Abdel Nour exemplifies how music and activism can intersect, creating vibrant spaces where everyone feels valued and represented.
So there you have it! Fafi Abdel Nour is not just preserving the legacy of house music but also crea- ting inclusive spaces that resonate with the spirit of community and acceptance. His journey is a powerful reminder of how music and personal experiences can intertwine to create something truly special. Keep an eye on this incredible artist—he’s making waves in more ways than one!
