Siavash is the mysterious Canadian legend behind the chart topping record label You Plus One. This eccentric artist is a 25+ year master DJ and an accredited innovator of the Northwest underground music scene.

Born in Iran to deaf parents during the Islamic revolution, he emerged from a challenging past to build a powerful presence in the electronic music industry.

Siavash is an animated performer best known for being a musical journey-weaving wizard. He honed his brilliant technical skills during the vinyl-only days of the 90’s. His iconic and unmistakable sound resembles his charming personality that draws so many to him: powerful, dirty, soulful, magnetic and emotional. Admittedly cheesy tagline ‘last night Siavash saved my life’ – a play on classic ‘last night a DJ saved my life’- echoes real sentiments of loyal fans who have described his sets as hopeful and deeply therapeutic. He gains a cult-like following wherever he plays.

In addition to being the creative-architect behind successful underground venues and brands, including his own viral afterhours, Siavash has carved a touring career with his addictive combo of style and stage presence. He has played regularly at top venues and festivals around the world including Sisyphos (Berlin), Thuishaven (Amsterdam), BPM (Tulum), Lightning in a Bottle (LA), Club Space (NYC), and is currently an international resident at Latin America’s most legendary club, BarAmericas.

As label boss of You Plus One Siavash is very involved in the musical direction of each track that is published. He handpicked the YPO roster which now boasts leading international talent including Rodriguez Jr., Oliver Schories, Super Flu, and Einmusik. Watch out for his upcoming original releases and special colab project written with techno icons Pig&Dan.
