DJ Shahmaran

Named after the Kurdish tale of a half snake half woman with an uncompromising attitude, Rotterdam-based ‘DJ Shahmaran’ fearlessly combines broken beats, deconstructed club, and bass music. By frequenting records bins while simultaneously scavenging online platforms for new producers, their digging is an ode to the duality - and blurring - of the traditional and experimental in electronic music. Hence their sound embodies both the euphoric melodic elements present in more classic house and rave genres, while neither straying away from dark basslines and high-intensity percussive rhythms
