Ardalan

Electronic producer and DJ Ardalan spins hypnotic house packed with deep bass and snappy kicks. Born and raised in Tehran, Ardalan moved to the United States, where he developed a love for electronic, beat-driven music ranging from Daft Punk to Portishead. Influenced by the Dirtybird label, he eventually joined the crew after submitting his demos. His first big track -- a collaboration with Justin Martin titled "Mr. Spock" -- arrived in 2010. He continued to work with Martin , releasing "Lezgo" in 2011 and "Wheelgunner" in 2012. As he built his own buzz with live sets, mixes, and dubs, he recorded his first EP, The Yeah/No, in 2014. He followed with the "Function" single the year after, before releasing his second EP in 2016, Thunderdad.
