DJ Nah Care is a well-known name in the Copenhagen club scene as a resident at Endurance.
Copenhagen and started his dj career back in 2012. Over the years he has developed a specific sound that draws inspiration from his Kurdish roots. At Draaimolen he is joined by Jahanam, to play in The Tunnel on the day curated by Nene H and the new Umay label.
In Islam, jahanam refers to a place of resort for the inordinate; where evildoers and unbelievers live, and this Iranian-Swedish artist resides over it.
Where others see friction and fissure, jahanam sees a chance for creation. Where others see contraction, jahanam sees an opportunity for digital alchemy.
This Tehran-born and Stockholm-based artist has been reshaping – and removing – seemingly fixed concepts of what and how a woman of colour can play in electronic music. With her core group of musical collaborators also driving the Stockholm underground scene, she’s paving the way for an exhilarating post-migrant sound that’ll keep ringing for years to come.
But more than just experimentation, jahanam is a do-it-all kind of girl. Whether it’s her hydra-headed sets where footwork meets jungle and we fall right back into funk, or her whip-smart and piercing lyrics on dance-heavy productions, she manages to bring a well-needed unpretentious and playful element to a generation a bit absent of it.
