Ardalan
With early support from Claude VonStroke, Ardalan quickly gained recognition for his techy, bass-laden productions. Born in Tehran, he now resides in San Francisco as part of the Dirtybird family. But the support doesn't stop there: he’s also received praise from the likes of A-Trak, Maya Jane Coles, Audiojack and Riva Starr among others. Last year Mixmag premiered his remix of Eddie Amador’s 'Psycho X Girlfriend', which showcases his whimsical style.
