A modern yet timeless EP, capturing the essence of an artist who continues to forge his own path — blending emotion, groove and sonic elegance with effortless style.
Q: Please introduce yourself
I’m Amirali. I’m originally from Iran, spent my teenage years in Canada, and have been living in London for the past 16 years.
Q: One person you'd dream to have a coffee with?
With myself, because I don’t actually drink coffee! [laughs] But seriously, if we’re talking music, I’d pick David Bowie. He was, and still is one of the most influential people on the planet, and I’ve heard he had a great sense of humor. It would be amazing to chat with him, share a laugh, and hear stories from his remarkable life and musical journey.
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
I’d choose flying. I dream about it from time to time and it feels incredible, there’s something freeing about soaring above everything.
Q: If you would have been given the chance to do a film score, what movie would you choose and why?
I’d choose A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, though topping that soundtrack would be a challenge, it’s already iconic. Another favourite would be The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky. I’m very visual when it comes to music, so I’m drawn to films with striking imagery. I often visualise sounds as colors and moods, which makes the connection between music and film incredibly inspiring for me.
Q: Who has been the most influential in your music career? And why?
There isn’t a single person who’s influenced me the most, my surroundings have always been a huge influence. If I had to name a few, I’d say Bowie, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead, Velvet Underground, and many others.
Q: Tell us about your journey, what got you to where you are today?
It’s been a series of experiences. I moved to Canada with my family 26 years ago, and I’ve been living in London for the past 16. Along the way I’ve faced challenges, celebrated amazing highlights and navigated some low moments, but each part of the journey has shaped who I am today and I’m truly grateful for it.
Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting out their career in music?
You need to truly love what you do. If you’re chasing fame or anything other than the music itself, this isn’t the right path, it can be tough. But if you’re driven by passion and a genuine love for music, you’ll feel fulfilled and opportunities will follow. Consistency, persistence, and believing in yourself are essential.
Q: Can you recall a DJ set or performance of yours that remains unforgettable to you? Where did it take place, and what makes it stand out among all others?
There have been many unforgettable moments, but one that stands out is a live show I played at Panorama Bar in Berghain. I’ve performed there a few times, but this particular morning felt like just a few minutes and the vibe was indescribable. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
Q: How has your music style evolved over the years?
My music is constantly evolving. I’ve explored everything from the most obscure works to peak-time dance tracks, collaborated with orchestras, and written and produced for many incredible artists. I’ve released two albums so far, and I’m about to finish my third, which I’m planning to release soon.
Q: If you were to venture into another music genre, which one would you choose and why?
I listen to many different types of music, it’s a big part of my life. I also explore experimental music and am really drawn to the leftfield side of things. My albums tend to be more exploratory, so it doesn’t really make sense for me to release a house or techno album. I appreciate so many different facets of the art form.
Q: Could you name 3 tracks that got you into electronic music and why?
I wouldn’t say it was just two or three tracks, it was more about a larger body of work that had a huge impact on me. Albums like Massive Attack’s Mezzanine, The Chemical Brothers’ Surrender, Portishead’s Dummy, and Depeche Mode’s Violator were huge influences on me.
Q: Can you recommend a hidden gem in your home country that would be perfect for a rave?
I’d pick the northern part of Iran by the Caspian Sea, the vibe there is just perfect for a rave.
Q: Could you tell us about your upcoming releases and plans for the year?
I have upcoming EPs on Mélopée Records, Dubfire’s SCI+TEC, and Sincopat, along with a few remixes. I’ll also be performing shows in South America at the beginning of 2026.
Q: Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most of your listeners are probably unaware of?
I love painting in my spare time, it’s something I’d like to do more of as I get older.
