DJ Reda Briki Reda’s French-Algerian background flavors his exotically funky sets with infectious Arab percussion tracks mixed with the horns of Miles Davis and the strings of George Benson. He draws upon a fusion of deep house, tribal beats and acid jazz, but is best known for playing with the crowd and keeping the energy of his sets uplifted and constantly moving. At the core of Reda's talent is his passion for music and understanding of ethnic rhythms. Before rising to the ranks of international DJ, Reda started as a professional dancer mastering Jazz and Hip Hop while touring with a Parisian troupe through Europe, Japan, and the United States. He is also an accomplished trumpet player.

A New York City fixture, Reda has worked hard to make a name for himself as producer, DJ and overall "do-gooder." He is the resident DJ for Disorient and the DJ booker for Disorient camp at Burning Man; he’s also been included in line-ups with global heavy hitters like Danny Krivit and Hex Hector at ‘Do It,” and Ben Watt at Canal Room.. Reda produced several compilation albums for aid organizations including "Life is a Dance Kid" which benefits the children of Uganda and "Silky Road" (co-produced by Tim Fielding), a project benefiting school building projects in Afghanistan. He co-produced and assisted Shan Nicholson on "Body and Soul," "Tantra" and "Bring on the Night" and has worked with legends like Tedd Patterson, Behrouz, Eddie Amador, Julius Miguel Migs, Marques Wyatt and Mark Farina.

“Reda knows just how to keep the crowd movin’ with a lot of uplifting energy — keeping the vibe alive.” – DJ Miguel Migs

“He knows what’s goin’ on on the dance floor because he plays with the crowd. His energy is flowing, spicing the meal like the greatest chef,” - DJ Behrouz Nasari.
