At the onset of 2022 in a world still heavily struck by the dividing blow of the coronavirus, we offer this much-delayed edition of the Café Norouz mix series. The timing is ripe, just after the celebration of Yalda, the victory of light over darkness, and the birth of Mithra, the Sun God. The Corona of light sits at the end of this dark tunnel. With Love, Baham.

We've been playing for the crew at Robot Heart for close to a decade now and each experience we've had is always so memorable, mostly because of the love and appreciation we feel from the whole crew and their impeccable attention to detail, allowing us to do what we do best, play records. 

When we were invited for the inaugural season of events in Oakland, we were deeply honored. 

We hope you all enjoy this set of select deeper than deep cuts from our record bags to your ears. Long live Robot Heart!

On March 9th 2025, Sasha Sol and Azulat launched their very first Doucemanche. 
The idea was simple:
Sunday, noon to 7pm. Groovy downtempo with DJs, home-made hummus, tea.
This is an alcohol-free event. This very first event was sold out and here is the recording of my set. 

A huge THANK YOU to Shanie for hosting us, https://soundcloud.com/oondza, https://soundcloud.com/azulat-music and Romina for music.

This was my 9th time at the helm for the Man Burn—a tradition I’ve carried every year since my very first burn. To be honest, I was completely exhausted—emotionally, physically, and mentally. As it always does, the music and the people brought me back to life. And in that sea of feelings, I poured everything the burn had taught me into this set.

This year, I chose to play pieces from every era of my journey as a DJ. It felt right to share nostalgic, meaningful songs that aligned with the theme Tomorrow Today. Tracks about time, love, and connection—songs meant to create a living memory for all of us gathered in that sacred evening.

The mix was fully improvised, guided only by what the moment whispered for me to play. I can only hope it became something we will all carry within us—a reminder etched in rhythm and dust.

I love you all. ❤️

Dear 2020...

YASO is the Keeper of the Rhythms of Earth.

YASO is a sonic traveler, weaving threads of sound that connect the heart of humanity to the pulse of the planet. Guided by the rhythms of nature, tribal ancestries, and the deep currents of global culture, YASO crafts journeys through sound that are both grounding and transcendent.

Specializing in downtempo, organic, and afrohouse, YASO’s sets are an exploration of the earth’s soul—inviting listeners to feel the wind in their hair, the warmth of the sun on their skin, and the heartbeat of the planet beneath their feet. Every beat, every percussion, and every melodic layer is a deliberate homage to the elemental forces that sustain life, connecting the crowd to the sacred energy of Mother Earth.
