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 🙏

BeetRoots Music is the dynamic DJ project of Misha Tsaran, a Ukrainian-born artist whose passion for music began at age seven with guitar lessons. Influenced by Queen, The Beatles, and Russian rock, Misha’s tastes evolved to include hip-hop, reggae, and later EDM, which sparked his DJ journey.

In 2011, Misha moved to NYC, managing the live music venue Meridian23, where he was immersed in global sounds and began DJing house music events. After relocating to Northern California in 2017, Misha became a yoga teacher, continuing to explore the sounds of mantras and Indian music. To connect with the local community, he started organizing dance events. Playing at local bars, private celebrations, and weddings, BeetRoots focused on crafting his open-genre DJing style, gaining widespread popularity and a large following. Soon after, he launched his mobile DJ business, "BeetRoots Events."

In 2024, Misha began hosting a monthly radio show on KZYX, earning the Programmer of the Year Award while continuing to share his vibrant energy across Northern California. Versatile in playing any genre for any event, BeetRoots brings his love of house music to clubs and festivals.

You are listening to a grown-ass man forever in sync/embracing the extraordinary soundtracks that have fueled and mirrored every second of his life.

MKULT is presence, a state of mind achieved through sound— a transmission of higher consciousness through frequency and form. MKULT is Shelly Truman, a West Coast–based producer and performer from Port Townsend, Washington and Tonopah, Nevada. An architect of atmosphere and emotion, Truman merges analog and digital worlds through trance-induced production, shaping sound as a state of being.
Her compositions move through techno, electro, drum and bass, ambient, dark wave, synth-pop, and cinematic downtempo, blending glitch, artifact, atmosphere.

Listen. Be here. Be fearless. 

Stillness inside movement, chaos inside order.

A multi-instrumentalist and self-producing artist under her independent label TTwinz, Truman performs, mixes, and masters her own work. 

Her sound exits the stratosphere and is a starlink that remindat the intersection of science and spirit — immersive, psychological, and deeply human.
MKULT is more than an identity; it is a state of awareness — a visionary movement driven by altruism and the belief that sound can awaken collective presence. Truman channels intensity into clarity, inviting listeners into a shared experience where music becomes the pulse of consciousness itself.
You enter MKULT by being fully here.
