Aly and Fila

Aly Amr Fathalah (Aly) and Fadi Wassef Naguib (Fila), the Egyptian duo, were both born in 1981 and have known each other since kindergarten. After falling in love with the music of Paul Van Dyke, Steve Helstrip and Chicane they built their first small studio and started doing electronic music and djing from 1999. After establishing themselves in Egypt they decided to go international. In 2002, they signed with the prominent German record label, Euphonic Records. Their first release, Eye of Hours received huge airplay from the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, and many others. Due to the track`s huge success it was licensed to Fundamental Recordings in Holland and reached number 4 position in the Dutch Dance charts. Solid Globe has got hold of it. Eye of Hours was always quite light in terms of style. That didn’t stop it from having an army of admirers. (DJ Magazine, July issue 2004). Not only that, but it was also featured on many successful compilations such as Gatecrasher Resident Transmission 02, Viva Club Rotation, Mexico Love Parade, Energy 03, to name but a few.
