Bardia Salour

After Bardia Salour and his parents had to leave Iran in the late 70s, they found themselves in Germany, as the German authorities were the first to accept their visa applications. Bardia grew up in Hamburg, where he developed a deep passion for electronic music during the 80s, being influenced by iconic artists such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Brian Eno and Giorgio Moroder.
