Bio
Stated by Neil Moffit (Godskitchen, Inc.) as “the DJ to look out for,” Faarsheed has proven to be a solid fixture in the dance music world. He has been playing alongside the biggest and best dj’s from across the globe for years. He began playing major events with Spundae, Las Vegas & Los Angeles in 2001, and from there, he has worked his way up to become part of the prestigious Godskitchen & Ice family, and a permanent fixture as a Godskitchen/Ice resident in Las Vegas. In 2006 when ICE closed, Faarsheed began taking his show on the road touring most of the major cities throughout North & Central America, & the demand grows with every performance. His style is unique & hard to pinpoint or label, but you can count on hearing a bit of of deep, sexy, twisted, emotional, baseline & musically driven progressive tech & acid sounds including many of his own original productions & remixes which are now seeing long awaited release dates. His acute ear for a tune, rigorous work ethic, programming skills, crowd recognition, and a technical ability that is second to none, have led him through a consistent climb approaching new levels in his career. If you have seen him live recently, you already know that he uses a minimum of 3 decks (usually 4), along with the pioneer efx1000 effects processor, & some looping to give his sets a unique edge crafting live on the fly remixes for the crowd.
Playing a big role at the legendary Godskitchen & ICE parties has quickly made Faarsheed into a familiar name around the globe. He has repeatedly rocked crowds from all over the world, whether it be playing his memorable headlining sets, or playing alongside the world's most talented artists: Steve Lawler, Deep Dish, John Digweed, Sasha, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Ferry Corsten, Erick Morillo, Max Graham, Roger Sanchez & many more. Almost every headlining dj that came through Las Vegas in the past 5 years has requested Faarsheed’s presence behind the decks as the opener or co-headliner. With many years of experience behind his belt at a young age, Faarsheed has mastered the art of being a real “opening dj” and has shown time and time again how to properly set up any dj, with any musical style. BUT NOW, more importantly, he has gained enough experience and knowledge to emotionally, mentally, and physically move any crowd, anywhere, at any given time, as the “HEADLINER”.
In 2005, Miller Brewing Company saw the potential in this rising talent, and signed with Faarsheed as an official sponsor. With the national air of “The Club” on Spike TV (2004-2005) with Faarsheed as the resident Dj on the show (filmed at Godskitchen/Ice_Las_Vegas), he has gained more fans from around the globe and has expanded his horizons in 2005 with original productions in the works, and a new tour schedule hitting North America & Eastern Europe. The tour kicked off early 2005 in various American cities as part of a publicity tour representing Ice/Godskitchen, Las Vegas and Spike TV’s “The Club”. The first stop was Nikki Beach, Miami(WMC 2005) for the Radio 1 “In New Music We Trust, The USA Tour 2005” party. Faarsheed closed the night inside the Global Gathering Room (the main room) with a legendary performance…This was a party which headlined over 25 of the worlds most talented dj’s/producers, drew over 20,000 people, and has been repeatedly stated to be the best party of the Winter Music Conference.
In 2006/2007, Faarsheed has been voted into the DjMag Top250 Dj elite in the world, and continues to make his stamp in the dance music scene with his dedication & hard work. Completeing his ICE residency (with the closing of ICE), & his 1 year afterhours residency at Late Night Empire, Faarsheed has started a promising new residency at JET Las Vegas & is consistently touring all the big cities in North America as well countries like Mexico, Turkey, Canada, & more. With his hectic schedule, Faarsheed has still managed to find time for the studio, focusing on new original tracks, remixes, and unique edits using ableton live…tracks that can only be heard in his newer mixes and live sets. At 2007’s WMC, he showed off his skills once again at clubs like Space, Nikki Beach, Prive, & more. In the summer of 2007 you will see an array of releases with Faarsheed’s name on it on various record labels. You can see him live, hear him on Sirius Satellite radio regularly, or even get a glimpse of what he has been up to on his 2006 Promo DVD. His 2 most memorable sets of 2006 were 1) at the WMC (2006) where Faarsheed played a peak slot, for 5 hours, on the Terrace at Nocturnal in Miami to a packed house, full of music lovers, who have been raving about his skills & energy behind the decks ever since and 2) at the ICE closing Party where he played an emotional 12 hour set into 2pm the next day, closing down the doors of the legendary club that helped put Vegas back on the map for electronic music, with a full dance floor of people still not wanting to leave.
The past few years have been very bright for Faarsheed, yet the future looks even more promising as he continues to create massive buzz everywhere he goes. There are no words to describe this young musical genious....you simply just have to go see him.
