Owner of Sublunar Records
Part of UNKNOT
Italo/Iranian DJ and Producer Sciahriar ‘Sciahri’ Tavakoli has been meandering
throughout the spectrum of Techno ever since his 2014 debut EP on Ilian Tape
‘Mysterious Love’. His output has touched the functional paradigms of this genre as
much as strongly texture-focused experimentation. This is reflected on his multi-faceted
DJ sets. His significance in the scene has been established via some of its most
influential record labels, such as Opal Tapes, Manhigh, Semantica, Mord, and, in
parallel, via his own outlet Sublunar Records since 2017. This has been complemented
by his production with German producer Desroi (Avian / Semantica) releasing music for
Semantica, Non Series and Mord, and within the left-field techno/electronica duo
UNKNOT with electroacoustic musician Emanuele Porcinai (Contort / Subtext). With his
label Sublunar he has been contributing to shaping the sound of contemporary Techno,
releasing affirmed as well as up-and-coming artists such as Svreca, Nuel, Refracted,
Oscar Mulero, Kangding Ray, Nh. In the 2022 with a world premiere at the Tehran
Contemporary Sounds festival, he started a live project focused on ambient/
experimental Techno.
Since 2023, he has been resident at his hometown club Warehouse303, where he has
the opportunity to share the stage with the best artists on the scene.
