New Episode of Kudos to Living Artists compiled by ArtSaves @artsvs
Kudos to Peder Mannerfelt @pedermannerfelt
ArtSaves is recognized for his obscure, experimental soundscapes that blend elements of ambient, noise, and dance music.
His career began in Tehran in 2012, where he performed at underground gatherings due to the city’s strict ban on nightclubs. ArtSaves’ work is inspired by his Iranian heritage and explores themes of identity, authenticity, and belonging, moving fluidly from somber, delicate rhythms to intense beats that keep the dance floor pulsating. Residing between Montreal and Tehran, he remains indefinable yet grounded in a distinct sound that resonates deeply with listeners.
Through his label, Kopi, ArtSaves is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Iran’s underrepresented music scene and its diaspora, while also collaborating with artists and local communities worldwide to foster connections and inspire creative exchanges.
Closing @sledisland at @loopholecoffeebar , it was @artsvs who took the stage to bring his deep and pulsating ambient set! SLED X SET 2024 concluded with this act in the most majestic way!

SLED X SET: ArtSaves
Over the past two years we’ve been thrilled to partner with the Iranian artist-run festival SET Experimental Art Events (@setfest_tehran ), who have curated a selection of electronic and experimental Iranian musicians to perform at the festival.
The project, titled SLED X SET, is a collaboration meant to build relationships between the Iranian and Canadian artistic scenes, and to bring more cutting edge and boundary-pushing music and multimedia art to Calgary and beyond.
At Sled Island 2024, @j.edmund.live and @wistful.jpg were on site to shoot the four acts involved with the project.
Fresh this week, we’ve got a new video showcasing the ambient brilliance of @artsvs during their performance at @loopholecoffeebar .
