Renowned for his mammoth sets, seamless DJing skills and faultless SCI+TEC imprint, Dubfire has carved for himself a singular groove in the tech house scene that continues to expand and evolve. 

Having already made a huge name for himself as part of American house duo and Grammy Award winners Deep Dish, whose Yoshitoshi label made a habit of signing fiercely forward thinking signings, with its records light years ahead of the rest of the scene at the time. 

Since going solo and donning the Dubfire moniker that Ali Shirazinia has really stamped his authority on the techno and tech house world. Kicking off with the hypnotically brilliant 'Ribcage' released on Loco Dice and Martin Buttrich's Desolat, Dubfire then followed up with yet more brilliance on Mark Knight's Toolroom Trax before his own label SCI + TEC got into full swing.

Since then he has been a constant feature at some of the biggest dance events in the world, namely WMC in Miami, Sonar in Barcelona, Amsterdam Dance Event, as well as the Ibiza's Cocoon, Carl Cox's Revolution and Richie Hawtin's ENTER.

With his meticulously crafted sets becoming the benchmark for others to aspire to (as can be seen in his Timewarp Festival 2013 appearance above), Dubfire and his groove filled, stripped back funky rhythms and dark technical genius continues to make him one of the most exciting tech house DJs out there.

Carlo Lio, Jozef K, Yamato and Playground DJs join him for an unmissable Sankeys special. Bag your Dubfire tickets here.
