Samo Rane

one ahead · Iran

At the end of 2015, Samo Rane left Iran and found refuge in Berlin.

Coming from a place where parties and forms of collective musical expression were heavily restricted, his relationship with electronic music became inseparable from the freedom it represents: the freedom to gather, to move, to express and to exist without permission.

A sound engineer, DJ and producer, Samo studied Audio Engineering at SAE Institute Berlin from 2018 to 2021, developing a deeper understanding of sound from both its technical and creative sides.

In 2018, he also founded mercyTechno, a radio show and podcast series that later evolved into a record label, connecting electronic music with artists, stories and ideas from different backgrounds.

For Samo, techno is more than a sound system or a dancefloor. It is a space of encounter, where different worlds can meet through rhythm and sound.

His work moves between sound engineering, DJing, production and community, with a continuous interest in the relationship between music, freedom and human connection.

One night, and this is who was on it.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. Nothing on this page was written for it.
