"Life is rhythm, rhythm is life, then you become the dance and it's at that moment you realize this whole time you've been dancing, it's been to the rhythm of life". 

Music helps to set life's mood.  How did I get here??? Well its been quite a journey. You see I love it all, from 70's soul, 80's funk, alternative. Quality music is my passion. Early 80's hip-hop and the Bay Area rave scene in the 90's shaped my DJ persona.  

For 20 + years House has run deep in my blood and in that same time Techno has become my sultry mistress.  You could say I love all things electronic and that encompasses a lot of different sounds. Everything from hip-hop, house, tech-house, techno, down-tempo,  and drum n bass.  Nothing Pop though and sorry NO EDM. 

I really love things that are Underground. Yeah Underground Dance Music is what I play. I love music that makes you dance and I love sharing new sounds. I especially  love the art of DJ mixing and specifically those who create a journey and a story with music. I hope to dance and groove as long as my soul feels it and my body allows. 

Well my my Soundcloud page, is now revamped and ready to  expose  beautiful, deep,techy, groovy, and some times hard hitting sounds!!!! I will keep it varied but always real. Please enjoy what you hear (feedback appreciated)!!!!!

Shiver is the DJ name of California-based Arun Sivanandam.

Born in India, Arun moved to Saudi Arabia where he grew up with Rock and Roll and Heavy Metal music. After coming to SoCal for higher education in 2001, he was exposed to Grunge Rock and gravitated to collecting Jazz and Funk vinyl during grad school. Here he experienced music at scale, attending large EDM festivals such as Electric Forest, EDC, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo. His love for magic experienced as a journey through dance floor energy was born.

Arun started experiencing faster basslines through Techno upon moving to the Bay area in 2018. Life took him away from his passion of music, having lost his father and going through a difficult divorce. Walking Lake Merritt at the tail end of the Pandemic, Arun was connected cosmically and spontaneously to an individual who invited him to Psytrance parties such as Sammi’s Lake Merritt Forresta parties and he was invited to stay with 2 roommates in Oakland (Viśvāmitr and Luzidtrip) who inspired him to listen to Dark Psy and Hitech music and opened him up to the love of Goa Gil. Attending psytrance house parties, Lake Parties, Santa Cruz beach parties, Heaven on Earth and DNA Lounge, Arun was encouraged to play music in late 2023. After participating in several intentional Psychedelic Ceremonies to lift his wellbeing, Arun participated as a Facilitator to hold space for others in their psychedelic journeys, and understood that music is an expression of life and processing emotions in flow. Named after the lord Shiva, his DJ project Shiver was born in early 2024 among friends of Fractal Factory (Bay Area Dark Psy collective) who have a love of Psychedelics used for common good.

As Shiver, he is a DJ resident at Fuse Collective in SF and 3am Playground in LA. Though he has played a wider spectrum of music at public venues (Melodic House, DnB, Tech House, Techno), Shiver at its core is a Psytrance project focused on groovy basslines and psychedelic melodies exploring a functional distortion of soundscapes to navigate seemingly chaotic rhythms and elevate collective consciousness through shared energy on and off the dancefloor. Shiver debuted Full on Psytrance and Psytech at house parties in Oakland and San Mateo, before shifting to public venues such as Buzzworks, BRIX, Lost and Found and others. As a dancefloor commander, he has played at Goa Moon Festival, Point of Origin Festival, Pink Dragon Festival and Heaven on Earth Dark Psy Festival in 2025.

Shiver welcomes you to feel the Psychedelic groove and resonate together to recall ancient wisdom of love, peace and harmony towards Mother Earth and each other 🙏
