Sanaz Rastad (NL)

Sanaz Rastad is a creative producer and community connector whose work bridges genres, cultures, and generations. Known for curating spaces where artists can create without limits, she co-founded LENGBABY, a platform built to serve the artist, not the algorithm.

Her work includes The Grime Experience at Sexyland, developed with What’s Culture and DaMetalMessiah, featuring archival photography, pirate radio recordings, documentary screenings, and a live cypher with the next generation of MCs. She has collaborated with key figures like P Money and Travspresents, highlighting her role in bringing UK grime culture into new contexts.

Currently, Sanaz works as a producer at Melkweg and manages rising DJ Jade Soul, balancing her curatorial vision with hands-on artist development. Guided by a love for UK Garage, Grime, and underground electronic sounds, she creates temporary but powerful hubs where music history, community, and future possibilities collide. For her, the beauty lies in connecting people to their next adventure.
