San Francisco-based producer and long time dance music veteran, Behrouz Nazari, is difficult to label as he is like the music he creates and spins. My sound is impossible to categorize but if I were to give it my best shot, I would describe it as a myriad of different subgenres of music I have experimented with during my past 20 years of DJing. Its composed of sexy music incorporating the finer elements of deep house, tribal, and progressive beats, with a touch of electro and minimal techno, Behrouz confesses. This being said, Behrouz has quickly become a highly respected DJ recognized worldwide for his groundbreaking headlining sets at such venues as Pacha, Space and DC-10 in Ibiza and Crobar in Miami, New York and Chicago, Ruby Skye in San Francisco and Red Light in Paris. Add to this his highly acclaimed productions, CD compilations and award nominations and you have found the recipe to success which has lead Behrouz to become a key player in the realm of the superstar DJ.

Over the course of his exciting career, Behrouz has traveled the world over playing alongside the industrys top DJs including Deep Dish, Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Carl Cox and Pete Tong just to name a few. In 2003, Tenaglia and Deep Dish named Behrouz the DJ to watch in DJ Magazines annual Top 100 DJ issue. That same year, playing alongside Deep Dish and Danny Tenaglia, Behrouz was much-admired for his memorable set at Pacha Ibizas closing party. Gaining notoriety throughout the industry quickly led to Behrouz being nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 Dancestar Awards held yearly in Miami during the Winter Music Conference, nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 DJ Awards in Ibiza and most recently Behrouz was nominated for Best Resident DJ at the 2005 Club World Awards for his famous Pure Behrouz residency at Ruby Skye in San Francisco.

In the studio, Behrouz has been equally triumphant. In 2003 he completed touring for the highly successful Yoshitoshi 2 In House We Trust CD series (receiving praise from both his peers and dance music publications) and performed at over 50 venues in a span of four months. A prolific producer, Behrouzs Safe From Harm remix was among 2002s most popular tracks (Safe From Harm reached ..1 on the Billboard Dance Chart that same year) and his original production Azab is featured on Carl Coxs compilation CD Fact-Australia. Moreover, his Yoshitoshi remix Feel So Good was featured on Deep Dishs Global Underground 025 Toronto CD. Recently he just completed a CD with Yousef on the UK label Renaissance called Frontiers, a 2 CD compilation that pits two DJs head to head with a unique, geographical twist with both heralding from different countries. The concept breathes a welcome air of originality into the compilation market, the perfect platform to showcase DJs, artists, countries and the ever-expanding global world of dance. Renaissance MD Geoff Oakes says, We have worked with a number of very established DJs over the years. Frontiers will be our platform for artistes who, although a little too experienced to be classed as nu-skool, are still fresh and exciting; driving their respected genre in their own domestic scene forward and knocking down the door of the A-list. Be also on the lookout out for several other distinguished projects Behrouz worked on such as his highly praised Essential Mix for Pete Tongs acclaimed Radio One Show and his widely praised CD Yoshitoshi Ibiza.

With DJ events from New York to Costa Rica to Dubai and Singapore, the future looks to be an even more exciting global adventure for Behrouz. In addition to his residency with Ruby Skye in San Francisco Behrouz has a bi-monthly residency at Pariss Red Light nightclub.
