In the vein of controversial producer AraabMuzik, enigmatic Persian-American trap DJ/producer Asadi (Daniel Asadi) exists as more than an MPC button masher. As a curator of his heritage, the 22-year-old Ohioan first began producing at 16, sampling his parents’ old cassette tapes and filling his loops with 808 drums. “Throne” became a Spotify hit in 2016. Latest single “Goldie” dropped last month.
