Aafraa

From Iran to the Madrid dancefloor

AAfrAA is the artistic project of Afra Azari Behnia, a DJ and producer of Iranian origin based in Madrid. His profile has solidified within the Spanish house scene through an increasingly visible presence in the environment of Space of Sound and LAB theCLUB, where he acts as one of the resident names associated with the brand's new era. His growth combines his own productions, club sessions, and an agenda linked to large-format events where he has shared the booth with top-tier international artists.

Groove, closing, and peak-time energy

His sound moves between House, Tech House, and Afro House, with a direct approach to the dancefloor: marked basslines, infectious groove, recognizable vocals, warm percussion, and moments of euphoria designed to sustain intensity until the end of the night. AAfrAA has earned an identity especially associated with closing sets, a terrain where reading the crowd, progressive construction, and the ability to maintain energy after global headliners become essential. His music seeks a balance between rhythmic depth, melodic accessibility, and club pressure.

Production and recent catalog

As a producer, he has released a discography oriented toward the dance and house circuit, with releases on labels such as Space Of Sound Records, Hot Fuss, Interplay Records, CLUBWRK, PYRO Records, Soave Records, Melodicity Recordings, The Greenroom, and Future House Music. Among his works are Vibe, Time, Can’t Stop, Losing Game, Rush In, Something To Lose, Dancing with Myself, Take Your Time, Hands Up, Letting You In, 909, REWIND, Poco Mas, and Upside Down with Nic Vesperi. His collaboration Remedy with Jay Hardway and MRYN expanded his international reach and reinforced his connection with the European commercial electronic and club circuit.

Space of Sound and international projection

AAfrAA has shared the stage with Jamie Jones, Claptone, Franky Rizardo, James Hype, Sonny Fodera, Chélina Manuhutu, Patrick Topping, and Hot Since 82, in addition to appearing in the lineups of Space of Sound in Madrid and Málaga. His profile is also linked to support from names like Tiësto, Afrojack, Don Diablo, R3HAB, Sam Feldt, Timmy Trumpet, and Fedde Le Grand. In 2026, he maintains activity with sessions such as ANTS Next Gen 2026 and new releases on Space Of Sound Records, establishing himself as an expanding artist within Madrid-based house and tech house, with international representation through After Bookings.
