073 Live Event

Our Mission

Art and craft,
in equal measure.

073 was built on one belief: no two events should ever be the same. We bridge creative artistry and professional event management, treating every production as a creative work rather than a transaction. The logistics are invisible. The experience is everything.

What separates 073 from other event companies is the live element. Every set is built in the moment through real mixes, real transitions, and real crowd reading. We do not press play on pre-recorded sets. We perform, and that distinction matters.

That same instinct — figure it out, whatever it takes — carries into everything else we do. Merch, signage, design, consulting: tell us what you’re envisioning, and we’ll find the way to build it.

The Artistry

The craft behind
the experience.

DJing at a high level is a performing art. It requires an understanding of energy, timing, and crowd dynamics. Knowing when to push, when to hold back, and when to surprise the room is a skill developed over years, not hours.

073 operates from that foundation. Genre boundaries are not a constraint here. EDM, hip-hop, house, pop, ethnic, and 2000s club all exist in the same set when the moment calls for it. Every performance is built around the specific room, the specific crowd, and the specific night.

The same read-the-room instinct applies off the decks — whether that’s a stage plot, a merch drop, or a last-minute signage request. Understand what’s actually needed, then build it right.

Our Founder

Zain ElHashemite

Founder, DJ, Producer & Event Director

Zain has been making music for 12 years, starting as a producer before transitioning into live performance. That background in both production and performance is the foundation 073 is built on: a technical understanding of how music is constructed, combined with the ability to read and move a room.

What started as a way to bring local artists together has grown into a full-service event and production company. Zain leads all creative direction, client relationships, and day-of execution for 073 — the same problem-solving mindset applies whether the ask is a 300-person production or a custom merch run.
