Biografía
- Sofie is a classically trained musician, part of the Stones Throw family, an original member of the Boiler Room team and an eclectic DJ in her own right, with a monthly radio show on London's NTS Radio.Palo Alto born but with Austrian and Iranian roots, Sofie is an artist, curator, record collector, DJ and a talented musician in her own right, being a classically trained instrumentalist, playing the violin and viola since she was four, as well as self taught on the piano. Her career in music began when she started interning at Stones Throw Records, an American independent music label based in Los Angeles, and subsequently got a job. She got her foundations in DJing at a Stones Throw hosted night called 56, which took place at the now shut down Mr T’s Bowl in Highland Park. From there she connected with Boiler Room when they booked their first across-the-pond broadcast on the West Coast, that evening warming up the turntables for none other than Dam-Funk, J Rocc and Peanut Butter Wolf. A relationship was born between the two camps that night which ultimately led to her becoming a core member of the team, responsible for hosting, programming, creative direction and merchandise. Sofie hosts her own monthly radio show on London's NTS Radio, playing obscure disco, psych, funk, dusty grooves and rare tape rap featuring all kind of guests. So far, she has shared stages with many DJs and musicians, from Kutmah, Knxwledge, fLako, Teebs, Mndsgn, J Rocc, Peanut Butter Wolf, Dam Funk - and these are just a few of them. Most recently, Sofie has dropped a heavy hitting compilation of underground’s best hip-hop and soul via Stones Throw with the SOS Tape. A detailed account featuring 24 tracks from 26 artists, SOS tape serves as a marker point for musicians across the globe. With an otherworldly cover designed by Argentinian-based artist Gustavo Eandi, SOS Tape has just been released also as a double vinyl into the market. A recent composition of hers is featured on the Oslo-based label Mutual Intentions compilation cassette too.̸"Infatuation", Mutual Intentions Compilation #2, Mutual Intentions 2017 Sofie's SOS Tape - Stones Throw 2016 Strings on: "Human Condition", Jonwayne, Rap Album Two - Authors Recording Co. 2017 "Out of Sight", Jonwayne, Rap Album Two - Authors Recording Co. 2017 "I Guess It's All Over", Mndsgn, Body Wash - Stones Throw 2016 "Livvin", Nx Worries, Yes Lawd! - Stones Throw 2016 "Get Bigger", Nx Worries, Yes Lawd! - Stones Throw 2016
