Koti [26.10.24]

Part of Saless Gallery’s set by Amirali darbandi divarnameh

A true pioneer of Iran’s underground electronic music scene, Amirali, better known as Koti, is a name that commands deep respect. For over a decade, he has played a pivotal role in shaping and elevating the culture of electronic music in Iran. A master of his craft behind the decks, Koti’s influence extends far beyond the booth—his work has inspired an entire generation of DJs and producers, leaving an undeniable mark on the country’s evolving soundscape.

From Berlin’s pulsating nightlife to the raw energy of Tbilisi and his hometown of Tehran, Koti’s name on a lineup is a magnet for Iran’s electronic music enthusiasts. His ability to craft immersive journeys through sound has made him one of the most sought-after selectors in the region.

Beyond the club scene, Koti is an active figure in Iran’s theatre and performing arts community, where his expertise in sound design has elevated some of Tehran’s most compelling productions. Notably, his work on Navid Mohammadzadeh’s acclaimed play “Funfair” was nothing short of brilliant, showcasing his ability to manipulate sound as an essential storytelling element.

Koti was also a huge supporter and a great help as one of the founding members of Adaptor Records, a groundbreaking platform dedicated to fostering Iran’s electronic music culture. Adaptor is much more than a record label—it hosts events, curated broadcasts, and is home to Tehran’s first physical record store specializing exclusively in electronic dance music. Through projects like “Off Color”, a series of in-store sessions recorded in both audio and video, Adaptor has become a crucial hub for the city’s underground sound. Even Paraffin Tehran’s founder, Azim Fathi, has been part of this series, further strengthening the connection between these two influential platforms.

It is only natural for Paraffin Tehran to welcome Koti to its highly selective podcast series, “Paraffin Podcasts”. Stay tuned as he takes over the decks for an exclusive mix—dropping in the next 24 hours on Paraffin Tehran’s SoundCloud.

Mohsen Ataei AKA Moss is one of the very first Iranian underground DJs starting electronic music back in 2000. Collecting and playing music has been an obsession with Moss since his teenage years, eventually leading him to study Audio Engineering and Electronic music production at SAE Paris. In the late 2000s, he became a member and producer of the Parisian underground cult band "Big Daddy’s Dead" performing at most of the city’s prestigious clubs. He’s also DJ'd internationally in many countries across the globe, while always remaining active in the ever-growing underground electronic music scene in Iran. In 2011 Moss took a detour from his music career and moved to Tehran to take over the restoration of an abandoned family building that he turned into a multifunctional space, now home to the “Aaran projects” art gallery and “Reera” cafe/restaurant which is a hotspot for artists and music lovers alike. After winning the Architectural prize for the restoration project in 2017, he couldn’t deny the passion for music so he continues his journey and is currently a resident DJ and co-director of Analog Room (DXB)
