On the Floor – ArtSaves at Red Bull Music Festival Berlin

Born and raised in Tehran, where nightclubs are prohibited by law and the streets are often plunged into silence after midnight, Iranian producer ArtSaves made his initial musical marks behind closed doors, DJing at intimate house parties in the city. Speaking to his experience, his sound in many ways embodies the dark curiosity that draws one out at night in search of that which is lost. With pulsing rhythms and a slow build of delicate yet ominous sounds, ArtSaves takes the listener on a sonic night ride to the unknown. Currently residing in Canada, he released his album, Seuil, in 2016 through Kopi. In this session, he performs at the Red Bull Music Festival in Berlin.
