Two Curators, One Floor

Nai b2b Rammie isn't a group so much as a pairing — two DJs trading tracks back to back (that's what the "b2b" means), each carrying their own diasporic history into the same set.

Nai: A Syrian-Canadian Voice on the Global Circuit

Nai is a Vancouver-based DJ of Syrian heritage, born in Toronto. Her sound is shaped by a deep connection to dance, culture, and community, and her work extends well beyond DJ sets: she's built femme-centered platforms and created space for emerging artists to grow, which has carried her into festivals, international events, underground clubs, and brand activations around the world.

She's shared lineups with DJ HABIBEATS, Arthi, Ahadadream, and Priyanka, and has opened for the Playgrnd Series. Her sets blend global rhythms with bass-driven, high-energy club music, built around movement, connection, and cultural storytelling rather than any single genre.

Rammie: Percussion, Diaspora, and Come Spin!

Rammie is a global DJ, producer, and cultural connector whose sets have reached millions across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Raised in New Jersey to Indo-Caribbean and African-American parents, he grew up immersed in rhythm, studying conga, djembe, and tassa (an Indian drum) under master drummers from Ivory Coast and Jamaica — a foundation that, combined with a love of hip-hop and Jersey Club, still shapes the pulse of everything he plays.

His sets move through Caribbean music, chutney, Afrobeats, Arabic and Persian grooves, Jersey Club, hip-hop, and both Afro and NY house, remixing global genres through a personal, diasporic lens. He's also the founder of Come Spin!, a DJ education platform running beginner-friendly workshops and open spins in cities around the world, building community through music from the ground up.

Culture Sessions

Nai and Rammie are the founders behind Culture Sessions together — which means the "b2b" isn't a one-off pairing, it's an extension of a project they already run side by side. In a lot of ways, what they're building mirrors what Habibi Shik Shok is trying to do: not just play music from different corners of the world, but actually build the room where those corners can meet.
