Zahremaar @ Gradient 04.15.23

RAVE SCOUT #076: ZAHREMAAR

LA-based Saba Fazeli, known as @zahremaar, is a first-generation Iranian DJ, design engineer, and devoted environmentalist with deep roots in the Bay Area. Their artistic journey has been significantly shaped by years of playing bass in jazz bands and diving deep into the underground music scene of San Francisco. Zahremaar's sound is distinguished by a profound appreciation for minimalism, which they utilize as a tool to produce hypnotic, genre-blurring grooves that effortlesly invite you to the dance floor.

Zahremaar holds residencies at Printshop Club and Gradient Campout and is a co-founder of Choppy!, a hybrid meat company aimed at reducing global meat consumption. Through their multifaceted career, Zahremaar continues to push boundaries and inspire change, both on the dance floor and in the world at large.

COOKIE MIX #076: ZAHREMAAR

Our 5th episode features first gen Iranian DJ, design engineer, and environmentalist, zahremaar, who transitioned us from sunset into twilight hour at our second Anemone party (DTLA, March '24).

A note from zahremaar:
The anemone team gave me what is undeniably the best vibe prompt I’ve ever been given: “Dubbed out textural minimal groovers embodying the intricate and entrancing movement of a feather star.” Dubbed out textural groovers are a space of music I’ve been collecting for years and love dearly — I usually reserve a lot of these tracks for last-leg afters hangs when the sun has come up and brains are mush. I went into the set with a folder of tracks knowing I wanted to begin with stripped down, groovy house belters, building energy towards psychedelic, bassline driven minimal. I started ~7 minutes after 6:30, so I adjusted my timing a bit to let Daphni’s ‘Xing Tian’ (looove) breathe its mighty organs to send the sun past the horizon at 7:07pm. I then transitioned into a sound that represents what I imagine rubbing a feather star on one’s forehead would feel like: gentle, persistent, wiggly diggly — made even more tripped out by long, imperfect blends with three decks. So thankful to the anemone team for trusting me, to the friends who shook their butts, and for the opportunity to be able to share this mix with you all.

Live @ Gradient Campout 2024 (Friday Night Close)

Body Tools Sessions: 010 w/ DJ Economy & Zahremaar - Live on VPN Radio (07/06/24)

About The Mix:
“I set out to blend from disco/house land into electro and breaks territory mostly as an excuse to play some new tracks and dust off others that I hadn't played in ages. As someone who doesn't primarily play vinyl, I was surely out of my comfort zone to be trying some of the mixes I chose for the first time, on a setup that I wasn't comfortable with. I made plenty of mistakes and corrected most, but some were too far gone to save. DJing is, to me, the art of gracefully flailing through the air, and I'm honestly stoked with how the mix sounds. I had a great time, and the perfectionist wolf inside of me can suck it. Cheers!” - Zahremaar

About our Guest:
LA-based Saba Fazeli, known as Zahremaar, is a first-generation Iranian DJ, design engineer, and devoted environmentalist with deep roots in the Bay Area. Zahremaar's sound is distinguished by a profound appreciation for minimalist, gritty, and, most importantly, groovy rhythms — whether in techno, electro, breaks, house, or disco, a sweaty time is the only guarantee. Zahremaar holds residencies at Printshop Club and Gradient Campout and is a co-founder of Choppy! (@eatchoppy on IG), a hybrid meat company aimed at reducing global meat consumption. Rave spaces have the power to define and change the tone of our social fabric, and that the next phase of revolutionary advocacy our community must embrace must center climate justice.

Onward Through The Fog

Follow @zahremaar

zahremaar (pronounced zah - reh - mar) is an Iranian-American, Los Angeles based DJ and producer. His DJ sets pay homage to the dark, driving sonic landscapes in the spaces he has felt most free—the warehouses, store basements, and few special clubs whose rumbles anchor the underground.

By day, he works as a design engineer for a plant based meat company, and has come to respect minimalism as an incisive tool to understand the variables that influence quality. 

His Acid Camp mix is driven by this passion, and aims to explore the meaning of minimalism within the harder depths of techno, building into a sound heavily influenced by memories of the now quiet spaces that were once such a part of our lives.
