DJ Shahmaran (NL)

Drawing inspiration from the Kurdish tale of Shahmaran, a half-snake, half-woman with an uncompromising spirit, Rotterdam-based DJ Shahmaran fearlessly brings together diverse and uncanny strands of bass-driven music to soundtrack narratives of escape and hope. Merging broken beats, breaks, bass music, and leftfield techno, DJ Shahmaran's sonic explorations embody the intersection of tradition and experimentation in electronic music.
