Ghassan from Earth Amulets by ArtSaves

ArtSaves is recognized for his obscure, experimental soundscapes that blend elements of ambient, noise, and dance music. His career began in his hometown Tehran in 2012, where he performed at underground gatherings due to the city's strict ban on nightclubs. ArtSaves' work is inspired by his Iranian heritage and explores themes of identity, authenticity, and belonging, moving fluidly from somber, delicate rhythms to intense beats that keep the dance floor pulsating. Residing between Montreal and Tehran, he remains indefinable yet grounded in a distinct sound that resonates deeply with listeners.

Through his label, Kopi, ArtSaves is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Iran's underrepresented music scene and its diaspora, while also collaborating with artists and local communities worldwide to foster connections and inspire creative exchanges.
