Cheb i Sabbah[2] (August 7, 1947 – November 6, 2013)[3] was a DJ and composer/producer known for combining Asian, Arabian, and African sounds into his compositions. Sabbah was of Jewish and Berber descent.[2][4] He was born in Algeria and came from a family of musicians.[5] When he was a teenager, Sabbah moved to Paris and, in 1964, began his career DJing American soul music records.[6] In 1984, he settled as a DJ in San Francisco.[4] In 1989 he began using the stage name "Cheb i Sabbah", which translates to "young of the morning".[7] He has seven recordings on the Six Degrees Records label.

Sabbah's performances included live musicians, dancers and massive projected visuals, backing up his electronic music.[8] He was nominated for the BBC's 2006 Award for World Music in the Club Global category.[9]
