EGYPT’S HOMEGROWN PREMIUM DJ AND MUSIC PRODUCER DJ KABOO BRINGS HIS TALENT TO MARVEL’S NEW MOON KNIGHT TV SERIES, INTRODUCING THE
WORLD TO HIS UNIQUE ARAB TRAP GENRE! The new show, directed by renowned Egyptian director and producer Mohammed Diab, revolves around the protagonist Marc Spector, a troubled individual with a bloody past, who, after encountering the statue of the Egyptian moon God Khonshu, becomes the hero Moon Knight. He participates in a series of adventures around the world, including modern-day Egypt. Desiring to showcase current Egyptian culture and music, Marvel brought on prominent rising Egyptian DJ and music producer in the Middle East and one of Dubai’s star disc jockeys, DJ Kaboo.
One late night following a performance, Mohammed Serour, (A.K.A DJ Kaboo) said he “got an Email from a company saying they handled the music for Marvel Studios saying they were interested in my Arab Trap music,” shared DJ Kaboo. “At first I thought it was a scam, like, Marvel is contacting me? Asking for my music?”
Being a fan of Marvel heroes such as Spiderman and Ironman since childhood, his shock with the prospect of his tracks being featured in a Marvel TV series was unreal. Following this “I spoke with my manager, Carousel’s CEO Daliah Galal who helped take it to the next level and helped seal the deal. They initially only wanted my first track “Arab Trap Made in Egypt”, but soon they wanted a second track, “Enta”, from my Arab Trap E.P”. Both tracks sampled popular and well known tracks in the Arab world, with “Arab Trap Made in Egypt”- By DJ Kaboo which is featured in the premier episode of the series sampled “Khosara” by Abdel Halim Hafez which was licensed by Mazzika group. The second track “Enta” which is the fourth track of his Arab Trap E.P. sampled “Batwanes Beek” by Warda and is the key track for the third episode of Moon Knight.
In Kaboo’s own words, “none of this would’ve been possible had I not had faith in my concept of Arab Trap, and now, I will get to fulfill my dream of sharing our culture with the world.” The new series stands to introduce the world of music to a fresh injection of modern Egyptian and Arab music.
Taking notice of the positive reception to Arab influences in music, he felt the desire to create authentic and original music that combined his passions. He took to mixing and mastering old popular

Arab tracks and reinvigorating them with new energetic trap elements, with the goal of introducing Arab culture and music to a world wide audience, akin to key international DJs such as DJ snake and Major Lazer. His first Arab Trap track was created back in 2018, it shook the trap scene by storm with it receiving a strong reception, earning its spot at the top 3 & 5 spot on multiple Trap charts. Now the track will be the introduction to Moon Knight’s audience to Egyptian music feature in its premier episode, the second Ancient Egypt features on screen.
He honed his music production talents to carve a new sub-genre of “Arab Trap” releasing a powerful Arab Trap EP in 2020. This string of successes led to him being known as the “Arab Trap King”, earning his place among the industry’s elite.
With an ear for Hip-hop, Afro and especially Trap music, DJ Kaboo first arrived in Dubai in 2010. He started to introduce himself to Dubai’s clubbing scene gradually, developing a well rounded and versatile quality as a DJ. In 2013, he entered the Pioneer’s DJ Middle East championship, winning first place at a young age, and catching the attention of the entire scene with his upbeat style, unique mind and authentic energy.
Kaboo soon began to find himself DJing for larger international artists such as rap and pop stars Drake, Rihanna, and Arab superstar, Mohamed Ramadan. Having been the official DJ for Rihanna’s Fenty Dubai Launch party in 2018, DJ Kaboo harnessed a greater presence that enabled him to become Mohamed Ramadan’s official DJ in 2021. The recently developing music festival scene in the Middle East has been a new and lively opportunity for Kaboo, giving him the opportunity to fully express himself through his music that was brought to life with the nature of festivals providing a larger production value coupled with the live entertainment. This was only compounded further through his performances with Mohamed Ramadan, ushering in a new age in the music entertainment field in the Middle East, with recent notable performances at the Dubai Expo this March, as well as opening for Arab superstar, Mohamed Ramadan on the 26th of March this year at the Formula 1 Concerts in Jeddah. In Kaboo’s eyes, he sees that “Saudi, the UAE and Egypt will be the new hub for the festival scene especially for Middle Eastern DJs, artists and rappers”.
Kaboo’s efforts to explore and develop his style throughout his years climbing Dubai’s music scene as both a DJ and producer has ultimately led to this new milestone in his career. This step reenforced his feeling that, as he put it “this is my time! This made me believe more in what I’m doing, and this stage with Marvel feels like a new step in my life and the new tracks Im releasing”. Ultimately Kaboo stands to be one of the rising stars in the region’s music scene with this being his time to introduce the rich Middle Eastern flavor to the world!
