Egyptian-born deejay spins BBM's Arabian Nights party

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Manila’s party set experienced DJ Mada’s hypnotic mixes as he performed at Buddha Bar Manila’s (BBM) Arabian Nights-themed party. The celebrated Egyptian-born deejay’s unique mix of chill-out, electronic and world music all featured ethnic vibes true to BBM’s music concept as a delight to listen and groove in.

BBM has been known for its sumptuous Pacific Rim menus and cocktail treats that make every club visit and special celebrations more than complete. The posh and stylish watering hole continuously offers hip treats to diners, party goers, and denizens of the club strips. The meticulously prepared Business Lunch is available daily while Industry Nights unfold every Monday, and the Ladies’ Night happening every Wednesday.

True-blue audiophile

DJ Mada, born Ahmed Khalil, knew at 16 that he was destined to be a musical artist, jump-

starting his career, early on, by playing at the lone local club in his hometown Suez. Mada’s love of music and dancing soon led him to clubs in Cairo and Alexandria until he landed a deejay job at the Grand Hotel in Hurghada.

From the Egyptian seaside to cosmopolitan Europe, performing along the way at such prestigious events as the world-famous audiovisual Cinetrip spa party series, the vibrant May Day gigs or Sziget Festival, which is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe, it has been a rollercoaster ride for this talented artiste.

The George V entertainment company has taken DJ Mada under its wing and given him the opportunity to perform at global hotspots like Buddha Bar’s Paris headquarters, Buddha Bar St. Petersburg, and Little Buddha Sharm-el-Sheikh.

Sports-car bonanza

Launched earlier this year with the tagline “Now We Strike,” Maserati Ghibli 2014 is predicted to be the newest hit in the automobile industry with its top-of-the-line features and that sporty glamor it exudes. Sleek and sharp, the sports-car cannot be ignored for its elegant silhouette that includes front and rear mudguards merging into a single central form for a stronger and sleeker look.

Of the many social hubs in town, only BBM presents the chance of making everyone’s dream of owning a Maserati Ghibli 2014 possible. The promotion entitles hopefuls to drive the hottest car about town while enjoying BBM’s sumptuous Pacific Rim menu at the same time. For a single receipt of P3000 on a la carte or P25,000 on banquet events, diners and guests get a chance to win the brand new sports-car.

Start counting your lucky stars and imagine how great it would be to drive home a Maserati Ghibli to your family and loved ones and to embark on a fabulous road trip cum getaway to a destination of your choice.

BBM is another reminder of how Manila’s party scene has endlessly evolved. With its strong presence and remarkable trend-setting, it shifts dining and partying to a more stylish and glamorous level. With DJ Mada’s Manila tour and the ‘Win a Maserati’ promo rolling, the fun never stops at BBM; always raising the bar in terms of one-of-a-kind concepts and ideas that make every visit an interlude to remember.
