Saturday, March 6th, MIGHTY is proud to present PURE BEHROUZ featuring an extended 5 hour set from DJ Behrouz. In the side room DJs Julius Papp and Rooz will be spinning the best in house music.
In today’s world which has become infiltrated with DJs, you find a select few DJs like Behrouz who have managed to reach that top echelon, either through hard work and determination, support from fans and peers, and those that just have that God given gift to rock rooms (be it small or big) around the world for 10 or more plus hours, taking listeners on those unforgettable journeys of different genres of dance music ranging from deep house all the way to techno.
Raising the bar and forging ahead with a unique sound that many have proclaimed as eclectic house with soul, Behrouz’s fame spread to the White Island known as Ibiza and eventually the powers that be from Circo Loco at DC10 asked him to be a guest DJ which lead to him to play for the club for over three years, rocking the room at the peak era of the Circo Loco legendary parties and being chosen to do the closing parties for Circo Loco at DC10 for two years and eventually touring for them all over Italy. At the same time Space Ibiza hand picked Behrouz to do their renowned closing party and he has continued the tradition for the past five years, playing sets with fellow peers and friends such as Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, and Pete Tong, to name a few. Adding to the Ibiza roster, Behrouz was also a resident at Pacha Ibiza for two years in a row for the the Yoshitoshi parties and as of 2007, Behrouz has become the resident DJ for the famous Made In Italy parties at Amnesia and abroad. If that’s not enough, gaining notoriety throughout the industry quickly led to Behrouz being nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 Dancestar Awards held yearly in Miami during the Winter Music Conference, nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2004 DJ Awards in Ibiza and being nominated for Best Resident DJ at the 2005 Club World Awards for his famous Pure Behrouz residency at Ruby Skye in San Francisco.
Rooz is a DJ, promoter, and major advocate of underground electronic music in San Francisco, known as one of SF’s premier and well respected DJs. With regular residencies and appearances at San Francisco’s top nightclubs since 1999, Rooz has established himself as a fixture in the underground electronic music scene. In 2008 Rooz was voted #7 DJ in SF on NiteVibe’s DJ Dream Team pole (djdreamteam.com), a short list of SF’s dance music pioneers like Mark Farina, Miguel Migs, Kaskade and Bassnectar. You can catch Rooz’s set along with world famous DJs at SF’s top nightclubs such as RubySkye, Mighty, supperclub, EndUp, Mezzanine and 1015 Folsom. Rooz is also well known for his late night after-hours sets at underground warehouse parties across SF.
A veteran DJ and Producer, Julius has refined a style of dance music that has taken him beyond the boundaries of San Francisco to global praise and recognition. Being nominated as “Most Innovative Producer” at the 2004 House Music Awards is a perfect example of that. Putting him in the company of Joey Negro, Osunlade, DJ Gregory, DJ Spinna and Ben Watt was an absolute honor for him.
Along with working wizardry in the studio, Julius has become a familiar face behind the decks, which has taken him around the world. He has DJ’d at popular mainstays like “Pacha” in Ibiza and “Ministry of Sound” in London, To Zouk in Singapore.
