DJ and producer R3HAB signs with Virgin Records Germany/Universal Music

DJ and producer R3HAB has signed with Virgin Records Germany/Universal Music for Europe and the UK.

The Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul (aka R3HAB) released his debut album Trouble through his imprint CYB3RPVNK in 2017.

He made No.12 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in 2018, topping the charts with tracks like Lullaby and Hold On Tight from his second album, The Wave.

In 2019 he collaborated with artists like Icona Pop for This Is How We Party, with Julie Bergan for Don’t Give Up On Me Now and with A Touch Of Class for their dance smash All Around The World (La La La), which is about to hit 150 million streams worldwide.

“It’s been a great experience working with the entire Universal Music Group team in Germany this year. After having a great success with the All Around the World (La La La) record, it made sense to look ahead and continue to work together throughout Europe.”
