Queer DJ based in Paris, with a penchant for pop, percussions and music from the global south. I enjoy making people dance, catharsis through music and creating safe spaces. Let's connect and shake it 💃🏽💃🏽

𝔩𝔞𝔡𝔶 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔰𝔠𝔬𝔯𝔢 are two entities that decided to stop by our space-time continuum as part of their road trip through realities. They decided to interact with humans through the avatar of a DJ and with the language of music. 

Ranging from House, Gqom, Rap to Ambiant, DnB, Breaks and many more, 𝔩𝔞𝔡𝔶 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔰𝔠𝔬𝔯𝔢 are talking to you, telling you about their emotions, their day, their doubts and aspirations.

𝔩𝔞𝔡𝔶 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔰𝔠𝔬𝔯𝔢 is a project powered by Antisocial Network.

📍Iraqi from NL based in Athens

UROK (NL/Iraq) – aka Urok Shirhan – is an Athens-based artist, researcher and DJ working at the intersection of performance, visual arts and critical theory. 

As a DJ, her sets unfold a polyglot club sound—where uptempo Arab, Latinx and Brazilian rhythms meet leftfield techno and deconstructed bass, blending sweet pop melodies with dark percussive drums. 

Most recently she DJed for the opening of the 18th Istanbul Biennial at Soho House Istanbul; for Radio Alhara x Art Explora in Piraeus, Athens and has contributed a DJ-set for Ibraaz London's new online platform. She’s currently a resident DJ at 1982 Art Space & Bar in Athens, with regular DJ-sets at other local venues such as Latraac, BIOS, Ela Na Sou Po, Cantina Social and Romantso. Previously, UROK hosted the monthly live show ‘Sound Without Image’ on Radio Alhara, broadcasting from Bethlehem, Palestine. 

Some of her music productions (under the alias 'alefwow') have been released on the Dutch experimental label ‘aural conduct’ (EP 03 Invert Dance).

As an artist, her research often emerges from questions rooted in her biography and family history of political struggle and (forced) migrations. Her latest body of work considers the role of sound––and the voice in particular––in relation to collectivity, dissidence and belonging. Her texts have been published with Infrasonica; NORIENT; The Derivative at the Beirut Art Center; Sonic Continuum at Nottingham Contemporary; and PrintRoom in Rotterdam. 

Urok holds an MA (Hons.) in Visual Cultures from Goldsmiths University in London. She has been in residence at the Delfina Foundation in London and held research fellowships at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst in Utrecht; the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in Amsterdam; Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht; and Ashkal Alwan in Beirut. Most recently, she was a 2024/25 Onassis AiR Fellow in Athens, Greece.
