•ABOUT THE ARTISTS•
-DAVID STARFIRE-
Named by BBC Radio as “One of the most brilliant world-fusion producers of our time”, David Starfire is known as the pioneer of the Global Bass genre, his earth shattering shamanic bass DJ sets at festivals like Envision and Burning Man, as well as a composer of music for psychedelic therapy. Billboard summed it up best, “David Starfire brings a unique perspective to EDM.”
David has performed at prominent festivals such as Winter Music Conference, Coachella, Outside Lands, Burning Man, Envision, Eclipse, Sonic Bloom, and Lightning in a Bottle. He’s opened up for Skrillex, Diplo, and collaborated with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Ram Dass, Sizzla, Alex Grey, William Close, Ooah (The Glitch Mob), Sidecar Tommy (Beats Antique), and the Grammy Award-nominated vocalist Chaytanya. His Ascend album reached #7 on the iTunes World Music chart and he had two #1 remixes on the Hype Machine. He's traded remixes with CloZee, Desert Dwellers, iLL Gates, Beats Antique, SOOHAN, and more.
David has released 6 albums and 11 EPs as well as various singles and remixes. David’s songs are featured on several TV, cable, movies and video games.

signature bass styles with a diversity of music genres, including world and hip-hop.”
Huffington Post “His undeniable swagger of instrumentation between beats is exceptional.”
Yahoo Voices “A driving force in the tightly knit underground music community stringing from LA to SF.”
MUSIC FOR PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY - He has produced and performed music for psychedelic therapy at retreats with well known therapists including Deepak Chopra, Bob Thurman, Sunny Strasburg, Richard Schwartz (IFS), and others. He was asked by Phil Wolfson (MAPS researcher, The Ketamine Papers) to create music for the K Dome virtual Burning Man Project.
-SOOHAN-
To know the music of SOOHAN (Stephen Suchan) is to be flooded with a rush of the vague and familiar: nostalgia meets unique and unknowable, as he deftly weaves worldwide influences into dance floor and festival-ready settings. To the unfamiliar, SOOHAN is the key holder to a catalog which dives into and celebrates what all too often lies in the periphery. Drawing from the traditional and popular music of countless cultures, SOOHAN’s signature interpretation of dance music ignores borders, favoring a shared community dance floor experience that enthusiastically exposes audiences to new musical territory with every performance.
Starting as a grassroots project in Baltimore, SOOHAN has taken off as an identity in global dance floor fusion, effortlessly combining diverse rarities with familiar 808s and basslines. Since his initial east coast success, SOOHAN finds himself touring the US and Canada on a consistent and constant basis, with festival appearances at the likes of Envision, Shambhala, Lightning In A Bottle, Symbiosis, Burning Man, and numerous others. With some seven albums, 18 million streams, and a widely celebrated DJ mix series with Global Bass Radio, SOOHAN has hit his stride and shows no signs of slowing. SOOHAN’s most ardent fans will have even more to look forward to in 2024, as a steady output of remix compilations, DJ mixes, and original material looms on the horizon. Cultivating an appreciation for the music which lies beneath the surfaces all around us, driving a direct line to celebration of global culture, and bringing people together in rapturous dance remain in SOOHAN’s sights, virtually everywhere he goes.
-DISSOLV-
