The Tehran techno scene is alive & seriously kicking
In addition to its clandestine heavy metal scene, Tehran has also succumbed to the delights of EDM with Anoosh and Arash two of the local DJs indulging in decidedly un-Islamic practices, which could earn them the death penalty.
“Tired of hiding from the police and their stagnating career, they organize one last manic techno rave under dangerous circumstances in the desert,” we’re told. “Back in Tehran they try their luck selling their illegally pressed album without permission. When Anoosh is arrested, there seems to be no hope left. But then they receive a phone call from the biggest techno festival in the world. Once landed in Switzerland, the haze of the instant euphoria evaporates quickly when the seriousness of the situation starts to dawn on them.”
