4 To The Floor with Shahrokh Dini (25/06/2025)

We welcome a Berlin music stalwart Shahrokh Dini, formerly known as Shahrokh Sound of K or DJ Shahrokh in the ’90s. He has been making a name for himself as a DJ since the early 90s. His DJ sets flow with the class of an experienced performer, seamlessly blending House with a journey through Detroit and Chicago, passing through Disco, and returning to modern-day vibes. His sound remains deeply rooted in soulful and deep traditions while incorporating refreshingly contemporary facets. A fellow musical peer once likened him to a chameleon for his intelligent approach to electronic music.
Shahrokh Dini’s productions and live DJ sets are crafted to ignite dance floors worldwide, creating epic moments. His album Dripping Point received massive acclaim in magazines such as De:Bug, Groove, Raveline, XLR8R, DJ Magazine, and others. As a true purveyor of house music, he has garnered widespread support throughout his long and distinguished career as both a DJ and producer. He frequently plays in Ibiza during the summer, holds residencies in Berlin, and has released music on renowned labels such as Sasse’s Moodmusic, Miss Moneypenny Records, and Compost Black Label. His work has been supported by industry greats such as Ron Trent, Jimpster, Dimitri From Paris, Laurent Garnier, Boo Williams, Glenn Underground, and many more.
Beyond his work as a producer and DJ, Shahrokh Dini has been running clubs since the mid-’90s, regularly promoting major club-music events and holding multiple DJ residencies. His remix portfolio includes work for Niki Harris (Madonna’s background singer), Gloria Gaynor, Automat, Mateo & Matos, Robert Owens, Marbert Rocel, Bar, Simon Flower, Vanessa Daou, and many more. While Compost Records remains his home and family base for various releases, he has also collaborated with Strictly Rhythm and Ministry of Sound.
In the past, he has engaged artists such as Metro Area, Kevin Saunderson, and Âme for events at institutions like the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), as well as for Luigi Colani, HfG Karlsruhe, and the 300-year Karlsruhe anniversary festival. His keen eye for talent was evident early on, as he recruited these artists as residents for his Electric Mood events during their formative years. Additionally, Shahrokh now curates and runs the after-party of the prestigious art KARLSRUHE art fair in collaboration with the State Theater, an annual highlight in the region.
As a producer, Shahrokh has collaborated with international talents such as Robert Owens, Niki Harris, Gloria Gaynor, Tikiman (Basic Channel), Barbara Tucker, Nathan McLau, and Jaime Lloyd (Future Classic).
