In today’s world which has become infiltrated with DJs, you find a select few DJs like Behrouz who have managed to reach that top echelon, either through hard work and determination, support from fans and peers, and those that just have that God given gift to rock rooms (be it small or big) around the world for 10 or more plus hours, taking listeners on those unforgettable journeys of different genres of dance music ranging from deep house all the way to techno.
Welcome to Behrouz’s world… From his early days growing up in San Francisco, when San Francisco was considered at the time, the best city in the US for house music and still till this day lives up to its crowning title, you can find some of the best underground clubs. One DJ in particular was chosen to be the main resident DJ for two of the best known clubs at different times. Behrouz held a residency at DV8 for eight years and another eight years at 1015, and the man paid his dues by rocking both rooms each week to a packed house of clubbers ready to dance from open to close and where the motto was always “it’s all about music….”.
While being a resident at 1015, Behrouz was snatched by the Deep Dish boys who recognized his talent, while they had a monthly residency with Behrouz at 1015. They chose him to be on their labels Yooshi and Shinichi and added him to their booking agency roster. And from there on, Behrouz didn’t let them or his fans down. It’s been an uphill road which has lead him to become a top notch producer as well. His remix of “Safe From Harm” topped every dance chart and hit 1 on the Billboard’s Dance Chart. His single "What We Do In Life" being chosen to be included in the classic Yoshisque CD compilation and his single “Azab”, being played by all the major DJs and used in many compilations such as Carl Cox’s Fact-Australia CD series, to his most recent smash hit being crowned by Pete Tong as an Essential New Tune, Behrouz ft The FPI Project, “Rich in Paradise” (tagged to become one of the biggest hits of Summer 2008).
Raising the bar and forging ahead with a unique sound that many have proclaimed as eclectic house with soul, Behrouz’s fame spread to the White Island known as Ibiza and eventually the powers that be from Circo Loco at DC10 asked him to be a guest DJ which lead to him to play for the club for over three years, rocking the room at the peak era of the Circo Loco legendary parties and being chosen to do the closing parties for Circo Loco at DC10 for two years and eventually touring for them all over Italy. At the same time Space Ibiza hand picked Behrouz to do their renowned closing party and he has continued the tradition for the past five years, playing sets with fellow peers and friends such as Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, and Pete Tong, to name a few. Adding to the Ibiza roster, Behrouz was also a resident at Pacha Ibiza for two years in a row for the the Yooshi parties and as of 2007, Behrouz has become the resident DJ for the famous Made In Italy parties at Amnesia and abroad. If that’s not enough, gaining notoriety throughout the industry quickly led to Behrouz being nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 Dancestar Awards held yearly in Miami during the Winter Music Conference, nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 DJ Awards in Ibiza and being nominated for Best Resident DJ at the 2005 Club World Awards for his famous Pure Behrouz residency at Ruby Skye in San Francisco.
Embarking on world tours, taking him from Dubai to Brazil, to legendary rooms like Womb in Tokyo, Twilo and Vinyl in NY and festivals like Dance Valley and the Cream festival in Spain, and playing long sets eventually led to the creation of the Pure Behrouz concept that has taken Behrouz’s signature sound to a new level. The whole meaning or direction of the Pure Behrouz night starts with Behrouz playing from open to close, taking his audience on that famous journey of different genres of music, which only a select few can dare to embark upon. As many can attest to, the Pure Behrouz nights have been compared to listening to four separate DJs playing in a club, all in one night. In this day and age where most DJs can play no more than a standard two hour set on their lap top, with Pure Behrouz, you get a pure journey of music, not on a lap top, but through love, vinyls that are hand picked by Behrouz himself around the world and upfront music that most likely you may never get the chance to hear from another DJ!

ADDY
www.djaddy.com
As a DJ, ADDY is known for three things: exceptional technique, frequent use of three turntables and making you pay attention. His rammed out residencies at Torontos top clubs (including the Guvernment) prove its a formula that keeps dance floors wanting more and earns him the respect of some of the worlds best DJs.
Admired for both track selection and programming ADDYs sets are deep, heavy bass-lines infused with diva-esque vocals and grounded in driving, rolling beats. His style is hard to tell, at that point where dark meets melodic and dirty meets sweet. There are hints of electro and Spanish guitar and audiences always go off. His annual XMAS CD compilation is historic in Toronto as it is renowned for its ballsy, tongue in cheek surprise cut. The 2004 edition is still talked about. After 40 minutes of mind blowing music the mix cuts into Punjabi Power Hour radio show, in a way that is funny as well as classy and very intelligent.
He has played alongside the cr..me de la cr..me of the international DJ world including legends like Frankie Knuckles, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox and David Morales and new legends like Steve Lawler, Sandy Rivera, BT, and Bad Boy Bill. ADDY has also played internal gigs: mexico, US, Belgrade Serbia, EXIT FESTIVAL (NOVI SAD)
ADDY found house music at 17 when he first heard former Industry nightclub owner and A.D/D co-owner, Mario J (then called Super Mario) play at a rave. Soon he was a regular, studying the techniques of Toronto scene creators Kenny Glasgow, Mario J and Mark Oliver. Like a good pupil ADDY would go home and fine-tune his skills. Soon ADDY was being booked at the raves where he got his lessons and was an established name on the scene from 1992 1995. When Torontos underground rave scene moved into nightclubs ADDY moved into studio to study audio engineering. ADDY came back in 1998 and the rise up has been constant ever since.
ADDY is both producer and engineer. His (paranoid jacks)Slavedriver remix was charted by Balance Promo and was played on BBC Radio 1s Essential Mix. His first record, The Frost project, which he produced with the Muddasouls Collective was signed to New York based DJ Disciples Catch 22 label. ADDYs Reminiscence (missing u) remix (addys missing industry mix) was featured on the Industry nightclubs closing party CD. Now, ready to start full time in the studio again, ADDY is continuing his climb to the top, which is guaranteed to please music lovers around the globe. As freelance writer Randy Chow once wrote in Eye Magazine (Toronto):
When ADDY works it the crowd works it.
