Iranian born but California based Artist/DJ Mozhgan has been honing her dark arts on the decks for quite some time. In 2011, when San Francisco clubs were distracted with other trends, she started „We Are Monsters,“ a party to develop her passion for contemporary, dark, and mysterious dance floor sounds. As a resident DJ, Mozhgan helped curate an instantly recognizable sound and atmosphere that has become synonymous with the party and the acts she has booked to play there. Her affinity for 80’s synthesizers, vintage drum machines, ethnic rhythms, 303 inspired bass lines, and moody vocals has captured the attention of dancers and selectors at some of the Bay Area most respected parties and clubs.
In 2015, her breakout sets for Honey Soundsystem and Sunset Sound System brought the worlds attention to her front door. Often touring alongside „We Are Monsters“ resident Solar, Mozhgan found herself behind the decks at Berlin’s Panorama Bar, NYC’s Output, Burning Man’s Disco Knights, Paris’s Badaboom, and Wake Up Call Istanbul. Her stylized approach to dark discotheque-ing has also made it’s way into hearts with a series of hit mix tapes and live-sets released online. As the status-quo catches up to her eccentric taste in Cold Wave and Industrial beats, Mozhgan finds herself a seasoned veteran ready to take on new dance-floors.
Though he’s been DJing for two decades now, until recently you would have been forgiven for not knowing who Solar was if you lived outside California. Now you’ll find him touring Europe and recording mixes for respected outfits like Beats In Space and Dekmantel. It just took a little time for him to get there. A Bay Area staple since the mid-’90s, Solar played a pivotal role in the region’s clubbing scene. With close friends like Galen and Conor, he’s thrown outdoor events and camping festivals under the Sunset Sound System banner as well as a host of other parties, including No Way Back. Over that time spent honing his craft,in opening slots and Sunday night residencies, Solar earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues, including Justin Martin, who called Solar his favourite DJ: „he never ceases to blow my mind,“ he said.[/showhide]
