Now We Can Dance Compost Black Label #147 - EP

Inner Core For Love (Vocal)

Now We Can Dance (Vocal)

With “Ubuntu”, Shahrokh Dini translates ancient africanism beats into an epic contemporary state-of-the-art – afro house tune.

Ubuntu, which means humanity in Zulu and describes an African philosophy, reflects Shahrokh’s explicit statement in these wrecked political times. The superb re-work by mastermind David Mayer elevates the original to a deep, mystic and lush afrosphere...

Shahrokh Dini left Karlsruhe, while he is even more active than ever in his old and new basecamp Berlin. Not even that he played a lot of nice gigs during summer (Amsterdam, few times on Ibiza, lot of gigs in Berlin, Italy, Corfu, Sardinia), he is also busy in the studio with several releases and remixes (btw.: one for Compost artist Felix Laband).

After the first release of his new activities: “Now We Can Dance” with the strong and lovely vocals by Illinois, here comes the follow-up “Ubuntu” with a lush David Mayer re-work.

For both releases we can announce stunning remixes by Lehar (Diynamic Music, Connaisseur Recordings), David Mayer (formerly Keinemusik, Ouïe), Apoena (Freerange), Omer Tayar (The Gardens of Babylon/Tel Aviv), Patrick Zigon (Biotop, Traumraum), Tooker (Ouïe, Crosstown Rebels), Kovi and others, which will be out on vinyl, too.

Shahrokh Dini has a long lasting release history, among them a lot on Compost, also under his moniker Shahrokh Sound Of K. Check both his discographies on Discogs.

Shahrokh met Illinois at the Garden Of Babylon parties, where Shahrokh is virtually the resident DJ, too.

We welcome a Berlin music stalwart Shahrokh Dini, formerly known as Shahrokh Sound of K or DJ Shahrokh in the '90s. He has been making a name for himself as a DJ since the early 90s. His DJ sets flow with the class of an experienced performer, seamlessly blending House with a journey through Detroit and Chicago, passing through Disco, and returning to modern-day vibes. His sound remains deeply rooted in soulful and deep traditions while incorporating refreshingly contemporary facets. A fellow musical peer once likened him to a chameleon for his intelligent approach to electronic music. Shahrokh Dini’s productions and live DJ sets are crafted to ignite dance floors worldwide, creating epic moments. His album Dripping Point received massive acclaim in magazines such as De:Bug, Groove, Raveline, XLR8R, DJ Magazine, and others. As a true purveyor of house music, he has garnered widespread support throughout his long and distinguished career as both a DJ and producer.

Shahrokh Dini, formerly known as Shahrokh Sound of K or DJ Shahrokh in the '90s, has been making a name for himself as a DJ since the early 90s. His DJ sets flow with the class of an experienced performer, seamlessly blending House with a journey through Detroit and Chicago, passing through Disco, and returning to modern-day vibes. His sound remains deeply rooted in soulful and deep traditions while incorporating refreshingly contemporary facets. A fellow musical peer once likened him to a chameleon for his intelligent approach to electronic music.
Shahrokh Dini’s productions and live DJ sets are crafted to ignite dance floors worldwide, creating epic moments. His album Dripping Point received massive acclaim in magazines such as De:Bug, Groove, Raveline, XLR8R, DJ Magazine, and others. As a true purveyor of house music, he has garnered widespread support throughout his long and distinguished career as both a DJ and producer. He frequently plays in Ibiza during the summer, holds residencies in Berlin, and has released music on renowned labels such as Sasse’s Moodmusic, Miss Moneypenny Records, and Compost Black Label. His work has been supported by industry greats such as Ron Trent, Jimpster, Dimitri From Paris, Laurent Garnier, Boo Williams, Glenn Underground, Solomun, Frankey & Sandrino, Agoria, Maceo Plex, Steve Bug, Âme, and many more.
Beyond his work as a producer and DJ, Shahrokh Dini has been running clubs since the mid-'90s, regularly promoting major club-music events and holding multiple DJ residencies. His remix portfolio includes work for Niki Harris (Madonna’s background singer), Gloria Gaynor, Automat, Mateo & Matos, Robert Owens, Marbert Rocel, Bar, Simon Flower, Vanessa Daou, and many more. While Compost Records remains his home and family base for various releases, he has also collaborated with Strictly Rhythm and Ministry of Sound.
In the past, he has engaged artists such as Metro Area, Kevin Saunderson, and Âme for events at institutions like the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), as well as for Luigi Colani, HfG Karlsruhe, and the 300-year Karlsruhe anniversary festival. His keen eye for talent was evident early on, as he recruited these artists as residents for his Electric Mood events during their formative years. Additionally, Shahrokh now curates and runs the after-party of the prestigious art KARLSRUHE art fair in collaboration with the State Theater, an annual highlight in the region.
As a producer, Shahrokh has collaborated with international talents such as Robert Owens, Niki Harris, Gloria Gaynor, Tikiman (Basic Channel), Barbara Tucker, Nathan McLau, and Jaime Lloyd (Future Classic).
