Japanese Sword

Nima Gorji was born in Teheran (Iran) in 1972, and grew up surrounded by persian culture. His interest for music started when he was a kid, as he was often following his father which was a live musician to lots of gigs.
At the age of 13, they had to rush out of the country just a few months before Iran were closing it's borders. First refugee in Germany for 2 years, then the family finally settle down in a small town of Denmark where Nima begins his new life.
Having already a passion for music, he started to play in a local live band, and decided to study in a music school. Very quickly he turns his attention to piano and synthesizers, taking his inspiration from bands like Depeche Mode, the Cure and Erasure.
In 1999 he launched his label Welt Recordings together with the partner Thomas Madvig from MTV Europe

In 2005, Nima moved to Ibiza and, during the summer season of 2006, he took his residency at Space for the "What's Up?" party.
In 2007, he re-launched Welt Recordings for a second
life, together with Charlotte Antoniades aka Madame Tina, releasing tracks of different artists in digital format, and in 2008, they open Welt Sounds as a sub label for vinyl releases.

As a producer, Nima always sticks to his roots, creating magical hypnotic loops full of deepness, as the Sufi's were traditionally doing in the old Persia. His releases can be found on his own label as well as 3rd floor records, Indigo Raw, love letter from oslo, murmur records and international freakshow.
