Sadar Bahar didn’t become a DJ he grew into one. Raised in Chicago when the city was still a living laboratory for house, disco and late-night radio experimentation, he absorbed music as culture before it was industry. Long before international flights and global bookings, there were radio tapes, record stores, basement parties, and an obsession with understanding why certain grooves hit deeper than others.
His education didn’t come from charts. It came from dance floors. From the raw energy of early Chicago, from DJs who played with fearless abandon, from a time when the booth wasn’t a stage but a command center. Figures like Ron Hardy weren’t references to name-drop, they were part of the atmosphere that shaped his ear. That foundation built a simple but uncompromising philosophy: music must move the body before it feeds the ego.
A relentless digger and lifelong vinyl collector, Sadar treats record hunting as daily practice. He doesn’t chase rarity for status; he searches for tension, soul, rhythm, and emotional weight. His sets glide through obscure disco, early house, leftfield soul and raw electronics without ever sounding nostalgic.
His long-running party Soul In The Hole reflects that same ethos: a space where music is physical, communal and uncompromised. The dance floor comes first.
Technology has evolved. Club culture has shifted. His core hasn’t. Playing vinyl isn’t a retro gesture it’s the format that mirrors his approach: tactile, imperfect, alive. For Sadar, the DJ isn’t a performer chasing attention, but a conduit controlling energy in real time.
Theo Parrish is a Washington D.C.-born, Chicago-raised DJ, producer, selector, arranger, keyboard clunker, machine beater, writer, sculptor, car lover, visual artist, lecturer, and father that loves creativity. Detroit’s creative community has recognized his input since 1995, the era of Buy Rite Records, Saint Andrew’s Hall, the Rhythm Kitchen, and Alvin’s. He started Sound Signature Recordings, which has manufactured vinyl records independently from 1997 to this day — exclusively using the legendary Archer Record Pressing Co. on Davison Avenue. He continues to engage, challenge, and redefine the limits of what we call Black dance music, serving as an example of creative independence. Parrish holds a BFA in sound sculpture from Kansas City Art Institute.
