We’re proud to present Afrooz with her evocative "Skeleton Kiss". Much like the cocktail from Vancouver’s Keefer Bar - smoky, fruity, and tart - this mix balances sweetness with a lingering shadow. Born in Vancouver and raised between there and Tehran, Afrooz is an Iranian DJ and visual artist whose home has always been the dance floor. Her sound isn’t bound by genre but guided by rhythm and storytelling, shaped by more than a decade of immersion in rave culture.
This journey opens with Khosrow Shakibayi’s recital of Forough Farrokhzad’s poem Ali Kuchike (Little Ali), setting the tone for a mix that lives in the tension between dreams and reality. As in the poem, where a luminous fish symbolizes beauty and longing yet is dismissed as impractical, Afrooz’s selections capture melancholy while holding space for playfulness, curiosity, and wonder. Trippy, gritty, and deeply immersive, her sound is best suited for those who dance with their eyes closed and let the waves take over.
The set closes again with the music of Fardin Ameri, a foundational figure in Iran’s Minimal scene and a key inspiration for Afrooz. His collaboration with A Blade of Grass ties the journey together, offering both reverence and release — a final Skeleton Kiss that lingers long after the last beat.
Cheers!
