Armii1n, born in Tehran and now based in New York City, quickly made his mark on Asia’s underground scene in his early 20s.

As a Sweatbox label resident, he released his debut EP, featuring a standout remix by The Mekanism. After moving to Miami for his Master’s, he secured a residency at Do Not Sit on the Furniture and worked with T Bag Records, also representing artists as an agent before shifting his full focus to DJing and event curation. Now based in New York City, Armii1n is actively DJing and running his own event series, Pregame. He performs with promoters such as Resolute and Golden Records, and plays at venues including H0L0, Signal, and Outer Heaven, continuing to build his presence within NYC’s underground scene.Minimal on 1 and Tech House on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Sweatbox Records.Recently at Green Room NYC, H0L0, Dead Letter No. 9 · often with DJ Brian, Auphoria, Kiyoshi, none of them here that night
