In a parallel universe, Ahadadream, known as Ahad Elley, leads a very different life. Here, he is Ahad Ali, living in Karachi, working as an accountant, and making his parents proud. Music, however, still runs through his veins. When he’s not crunching numbers, Ali spends his free time producing beats in his bedroom, possibly playing a few underground gigs around town. But Karachi isn’t exactly known for its vibrant club scene. If only Ali knew what his counterpart Elley was up to in London, perhaps he’d follow a similar path and make the leap to the UK.

In our universe, Ahad Elley is a British-Pakistani DJ whose journey has taken him to international stages. Since moving to London, he’s brought his polyrhythmic sound to Boiler Rooms, launched his own label called More Time, and graced major festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella. Alongside these accomplishments, Elley co-founded Dialled In, a festival celebrating the South Asian diaspora. His impressive collaborations include working with global stars like Skrillex, and most recently, his track “TAKA,” with Skrillex and Priya Ragu, was featured in the latest iPhone 16 advertisement.

In this universe, Ahad Elley is far from ordinary — he’s a trailblazer redefining electronic music across cultures and continents.
