Playing homage to her Iranian roots and the sounds of West Asia, AYEDA’s set drifts between SWANA-inspired melodies and experimental electronic. With soundscapes so deeply cultural in essence, AYEDA seamlessly balances the traditional with the deconstructed.
In a world that never ceases to limit the voices of others, we must continue to listen, speak and disrupt.

I ❤️ community radio!! Big thank you to @radioweesper & @djen_______ for hosting me as I mixed experimental electronic, dub, breaks and leftfield from the Iranian soundverse. Link 2 listen in bio.
My mixes are reflective of my moods and my moods are reflective of nature. This set was airy, glitchy, icy, and I felt like a digital ethereal fairy mixing these tracks 🧚

Nonist x Shekari — Rotterdam Pop-Up
Nonist x Shekari is a multi-layered collaboration where Shekari’s falcon returns, wrapped in the sustainable embrace of Nonist. The limited collection revisits eras of Iranian football, carrying traces of travel, resistance, and celebration — a gesture toward *Etehad-E-No اتحاد نو* , a new union of stories and bodies.
After Tehran and New York, our third pop-up unfolds in Rotterdam: two days of clothes, food, music, and gathering. Together with Cooklab, we bring Persian-inspired bites to accompany the night.
📍 Moezeum Café
🗓️ Opening Night — Sept 27 | 7 PM–12 Midnight
– 7 PM: Collection reveal + Persian-inspired bites (free entry)
– 9 PM: Music takeover (€8)
🎶 Ayeda (9–10:30) | Yasaman (10:30–12)
🗓️ Day Two — Sept 28 | 4–7 PM (free entry)
A more intimate afternoon to explore the collection.

Thursday night at Birdcage dives deep and comes out swinging. Kicking off at 19:00CET, @esthetica_dj carves out a lush and spacious ride — where downtempo textures meet organic rhythms and progressive builds. It’s subtle, emotional, and endlessly expansive.
Then at 21:00CET, @ayeda.fm sharpens the mood with a punchy, forward-thinking set full of breakbeat grit, footwork finesse, and experimental slant. Expect fractured grooves, fast edits, and sounds that don’t play by the rules.
