Vinyls at Ariman w/ Tide Säfve
Live · Ariman, Lund · August 2026
Records only, late summer, no laptop in sight.
Minister of Innovation & Sound. Disco, house, techno, funk. Startups by day, decks by night.
Born in London, grew up between there and a little town called Ohrid in Macedonia. One a concrete jungle, the other a mountainous paradise, both on our little blue planet. Now in Lund.
I play disco, house, techno and funk — "larger than life" tracks. You'll find me behind the decks, in the studio, or building something on a laptop at an unreasonable hour. During the day I'm an Innovation Advisor at Almi, which mostly means helping startups find money and GTM.
Double Lund graduate, six languages. I play football on the right and DJ through the night.
Five tracks running at once. Solo one to hear it on its own.

Me and my dad started a podcast. He'd been telling me for years — "Everyone has a podcast nowadays, why can't we have a podcast?" — and eventually I listened. We sit down and talk about anything really. Music, football, politics, life stories. All in good fun, spotlighting a relationship between a father and a son.
