SOOHAN & ITERATE

global dance floor fusion

SOOHAN (Stephen Suchan) fell in love with Djing and producing music when he came to the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.

SOOHAN:

To know the music of SOOHAN (Stephen Suchan) is to be flooded with a rush of the vague and familiar: nostalgia meets unique and unknowable, as he deftly weaves worldwide influences into dance floor and festival-ready settings. To the unfamiliar, SOOHAN is the key holder to a catalog which dives into and celebrates what all too often lies in the periphery. Drawing from the traditional and popular music of countless cultures, SOOHAN’s signature interpretation of dance music ignores borders, favoring a shared community dance floor experience that enthusiastically exposes audiences to new musical territory with every performance.

Starting as a grassroots project in Baltimore, SOOHAN has taken off as an identity in global dance floor fusion, effortlessly combining diverse rarities with familiar 808s and basslines. Since his initial east coast success, SOOHAN finds himself touring the US and Canada on a consistent and constant basis, with festival appearances at the likes of Envision, Shambhala, Lightning In A Bottle, Symbiosis, Burning Man, and numerous others. With some seven albums, 18 million streams, and a widely celebrated DJ mix series with Global Bass Radio, SOOHAN has hit his stride and shows no signs of slowing. SOOHAN’s most ardent fans will have even more to look forward to in 2023, as a steady output of remix compilations, DJ mixes, and original material looms on the horizon. Cultivating an appreciation for the music which lies beneath the surfaces all around us, driving a direct line to celebration of global culture, and bringing people together in rapturous dance remain in SOOHAN’s sights, virtually everywhere he goes. ITERATE:

Andrei Olenev is a music producer from Northern California, currently making music under the name “Iterate.” Andrei has been a staple of the west coast bass music/ glitch hop sound for the last 15 years. Under his previous monikers, “Andreilien” and “Heyoka,” he toured extensively to festivals and clubs around the world, including Burning Man, Symbiosis, Boom Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Envision, Sonic Bloom, Earthfreq and Shambhala. Over the years, Andrei has had an evolving sound, drawing influence from various genres without confining itself to any particular one, and always with a unique twist. His current project, "Iterate," continues his musical evolution, with a focus on hip hop beats, breaks, deep bass, intricate glitch edits and psychedelic sound design. “Iterate” emerged after Andrei took time from touring to change his production process and develop his sound in a new direction. He switched DAW's to Bitwig and created a collection of custom “Grid” patches geared towards glitch production, many of which take influence from hardware groove boxes and trackers. Andrei is a certified Bitwig trainer, and has a growing online collection of tutorials on Bitwig.
