suinner+trabelsi want you to join us on a journey, wherever it may be across the African continent through heat and free hips to drop that fatty real low with the tongue masters of the hip hop scene. We bop, we wave our hands, we lay down, we close our eyes. We sway, we raise our hands, we surrender to the music, and let ourselves be carried away. From to the whitest whitegirl moments. It’s always personal.
travel through us with amapiano, afro house, all things hiphop and r&b, UK and SWANA sounds & known and own remixes of all classics.
also known as the soft collective, dj-duo suinner+trabelsi has played in local clubs like Ääniwalli, Kuudes Linja, Tanner and KULT. They’ve also played in festivals like Ruisrock, Flow Festival and in many different underground events and demonstrations. suinner+trabelsi have been featured on local and international radio stations like Rinse FM and IDA Radio.

trabelsi
trabelsi is a tunisian-finnish multidisciplinary artist, DJ and an MC based in Helsinki.
trabelsi is passionate about BIPOC queer liberation and joy, a good phat beat and emotions. You can hear them playing SWANA sounds and remixes of Arabic classics, house, amapiano, afrolife and really anything that tickles their waist whining-bone.
Exploring their cultural heritage through music and reconnecting with the sounds and songs of their childhood, delving into the rich tapestry of SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) sounds has played an important role in their personal journey of discovery, self-exploration and self-expression.
