Mido was born in 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, from an Iraqi mother & Lebanese father. He lived all his life in Beirut, but traveled around to a lot of places, like Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, France, Italy, and Germany. He started DJing at the age of 17. Then he worked with a company called Disco Delta, which was later known Hafalat for 2 years, which organized and handled private parties, birthday parties and weddings. He played in various clubs in Monot (Beirut), but was never a resident in one, never had the time for it, since he was a Graphic Design student at LAU-Beirut. During his travels to Egypt, he was invited to spin there, for 3 days at a beach in Marina City (a private beach resort, on the Mediterranean Sea). He also spun one night in Hardrock Cafe nightclub in Marina too. The first 4 years he used to play all kinds of music from Rap, Hiphop, R'nB to Trance and house. But he's always been into Electronic Music, from old school Techno to trance to drum' n bass and garage, and mostly Psychedelic Trance, which he decided to focus on since around a year ago. He has been organizing psy events at local clubs, under the new alias of "Dark Dragon", all in efforts to encourage the psy scene in Lebanon. Recently in the Spring of 2006, "Dark Dragon" organized & spinned with other DJz from Turkey, Japan, India, Germany and other countries, a prefestival party one day before Soulclipse festival 2006 that took place in Turkey. On the 21st of June 2006, "Dark Dragon" and along with 3 other friends Launch "Psyleb.com" the first website/forum in the Arab world, dedicated to psy trance and psy culture.

The launch was during Psyleb's first official event "Psy Session 1". The war in Lebanon Slowed down the progress of Psyleb and "Dark Dragon", but soon after things settled down, Dark Dragon organized and played at "Psy Session 2" @ Club Spot, which was the first psychedelic trance event to take place in Lebanon since the war.

Several psychedelic raves were organized by psyleb after the success of the first two, still under the same name, they are being promoted as "Psy Session", the fifth was the latest, a very successfull beach rave from dusk till dawn.
