Canadian-based Strict Border (Amirali Shahrestani and Iman Habibi) were drawn together by their shared passion and love for electronic music. The pair dived to the forefront of dance music in February 2009. The duo has achieved extensive recognition in fewer than three months since they joined forces in Tehran.

Since then, the newly formed duo has spent time producing tracks signed by Starter Records, Rawthentic Music, Bosphorus Underground and F*** House Music. Some of the best top sellers on Beatport. The two have also been creating remixes for Kling Klong Records, Rawthentic Music and many more…

It was the groove of ‘Zebra Crossing’ and ‘The Queen’ that drew praise from the like of Steve Lawler. Other supports in the business include artists such as Namito, Nicole Moudaber, Martin Eyerer, Ahmet Sendil, Carlo Lio, Nick K, Oliver Dahl and Lewis Ryder.

Through it all, in April 2009 Strict Border was signed as an ‘Exclusive’ artist to Steve Lawler’s label VIVa MUSIC and has their first big release due out in the summer of 2009.

Aside from their DJ/production duties, Strict Border has also established a record label by the name of ‘Madexx Recordings’ in 2008. The labels production is based on the timeworn structures of techno, house and electronica carrying some of the very best new talents.
