Layali Social bills itself as Houston's newest after-hours. DOSO holds the residency and plays at least once a week, either as DO2ME with Mehrad or solo. When the clubs close, this is where the night keeps going.

About DO2ME
We read the room. Then we take it higher.
DO2ME reads the room, finds its pulse and takes it somewhere it didn't know it could go.
- Read the roomWho is here, what they came for, how hard the floor is ready to go.
- Match the energyEvery slot played for the slot. A warm-up that builds, a peak that hits.
- Take it higherThen they push, trading tracks until the whole room moves as one.
DO2ME is DOSO and Mehrad, two friends who have played back to back since they were 13. They don't show up with a set. They show up with a feel for the room. The first records find the crowd's temperature, the next ones match it, and from there the night only climbs. A warm-up stays a warm-up until the floor is ready, and a peak-time slot gets the full weight of their tech house. They have shared the booth with The Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler, San Pacho, Paco Osuna and many more, and hold residencies at Bauhaus Houston, Quack Circle and the Layali after-hours. Founded in Houston and now playing Houston and Miami, they came up on tech house and minimal and are bringing indie and afro house into the mix. DOSO also produces, and his unreleased tracks run through their sets.
Book them for the slot. They will play to the room, and the room will remember it.
Where it started
Tech house
The foundation. Rolling basslines and grooves built to keep a Bauhaus floor moving all night.
The undercurrent
Minimal tech house
Stripped-back, hypnotic stretches where the b2b hand-offs disappear.
Where it's going
Indie / afro house
Warmer melodies and percussion now coming into the sets, one track at a time.

The first DO2ME gig, before it had a name: opening for Coco & Breezy at Bauhaus.

Quack Circle
Quack Circle is a Houston party and hospitality community owned by Nico. Mehrad and Ryan (DOSO) of DO2ME are his partners and co-founders, building it into the next level of nights out in Houston.
Their biggest production yet was Solstice Sessions in June 2026. It started with a Gordo pool party and ran three nights under a giant gold disco duck at Iron Works, with Victor Calderone, Enamour, Vanjee, Calussa and Amémé. DO2ME opened for Gordo and closed out the Victor Calderone night. Year-round, Quack Circle runs four theme parties: Boholand, Poolside, Midnight Rodeo and Quack Circus.

Firezad
Owner of The Panda Project. He taught us the craft, and everything DO2ME does started in his booth. Thank you, Zad.
@firezadmusic
The Panda Project
Before DO2ME had a name, DOSO and Mehrad came up as residents of The Panda Project. That is where they learned to read a room, build a night and play b2b, and they still partner with the Panda crew today.

DO2ME started in Houston and still plays there every week. Mehrad recently moved to Miami, so the duo now takes bookings in both cities and is looking for its first Miami dates.
