San Francisco-based house music DJ and producer Ardalan is practiced in the art of restraint. On his latest full-length set with Dirtybird Records, Mr. Good, Ardalan gives his grooves time and space to bloom. He revels in the dry thud of an over-compressed kick on album-opener “I Can’t Wait,” allowing the bass drum to take center stage for nearly a minute before introducing a fragmented ice splinter lead and stuttering vocal snippet. The Tehran-born selector comes to San Jose with support from Miss Dre.
