About Me

Please vote for us on thedjlist.com ! Thank you!
Soda Inc. is a cooperation by Babak Shayan and Jon Silva , them being the label heads of Shayan Music and Pesto . The music of Soda Inc. quotes from different genres such as DeepHouse, Trance and Acid - all being melted with musical influences and personal preferences of the two producers.
The two guys met in 2001 and have since then been working on several projects such as "Basil" (remixes for Monsieur Charles besides other releases) or the highly acclaimed Bar1 compilation series.
Their first longplayer "Full Moon" was quite much appreciated on an international basis, making Soda Inc. a demanded DJ team travelling across Europe. One of the leading german mags "Groove" described them as being innovators and inventors in style - being one of the pioneers in the "NeoTrance" genre.
Soda Inc.'s music, in fact, goes far beyond that. Besides delivering different sorts of dance beats, their music bears traces of Reggae, Dub and HipHop while still Babak's persian roots can be identified on certain tracks.
