Biography

Ahmed Helmy is an Alexandria-born uplifting trance producer who emerged in the mid-2010s through Aly & Fila's Future Sound of Egypt label. His 2017 collaboration with Mhammed El Alami, "Forever Together," became one of the year's most-played FSOE releases, followed by solo singles "Sahara" (2018), "Symphony" (2019), and "Insight" (2020) that placed him among the FSOE Family's most consistent producers. Helmy's catalogue has since extended through Armada Captivating Sounds and the A State of Trance imprint, and he is a regular feature on FSOE Radio episodes and the FSOE festival editions across Europe and the Middle East. The Egyptian-tonal melodic content of his productions sits in the same lineage as Aly & Fila's "Eye of Horus," and his work is frequently played out by Armin van Buuren on A State of Trance.

Sound Style

Classic 138 BPM uplifting trance with Egyptian-tonal melodic content — soaring leads, generous breakdowns, and the kind of peak-time arrangement craft that the FSOE editorial direction rewards.
