FADER Mix: Sadaf

Back in April, Arca turned New York's Bowery Ballroom into a sexually charged tangle of limbs—on-stage, projected on-screen, and in the audience. When the lights went up, there was no chance anyone was ready to go home, so most of us hot-footed it over to Elvis Guesthouse a couple of blocks over for the afterparty, which turned out to be just as sonically inspiring thanks to the DJ behind the decks: Sadaf. Born in Iran, raised in Canada, and now based in NYC, Sadaf is a performance artist turned producer with a nose for thrillingly unexpected club sounds. She's got an LP in the works for Hoss Records, but in the meantime, her FADER Mix provides a whirlwind tour through her musical interests, from Persian trap to Angolan kuduro.
