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.

Payam Parvizi, a DJ, record producer and a Promoter hailing from Tehran, embarked on his musical journey in 2007. From the bustling streets of Iran's capital, he cultivated his passion for electronic music, carving out a unique niche in a country where such expressions were often restricted.

In 2021, he founded “Spaced Apart”, a platform dedicated to nurturing and showcasing Iranian talents to the world. Through vinyl releases and international showcases, he broke barriers, amplifying the voices of his fellow countrymen and women in the global electronic music scene.

Despite the legal constraints, Payam Parvizi fearlessly organised underground parties, defying social norms and providing an outlet for self-expression in a country where dancing was prohibited. For over a decade, he transformed hidden spaces into pulsating havens of music and camaraderie, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo.

Payam Parvizi's influence extended far beyond Tehran's borders. As a visionary curator and promoter, he bridged cultures and continents, bringing renowned artists from Europe and Georgia to perform in Tehran. His efforts not only enriched the local scene but also fostered connections between diverse musical communities, acting as a vital conduit between Tbilisi and Tehran.

Through his unwavering dedication and pioneering spirit, Payam Parvizi has left an indelible mark on Iran's underground music scene, shaping its trajectory and inspiring countless individuals to embrace creativity and freedom of expression.
