This is my tribute to Hoomidaas Records, a record label based in Los Angeles, which was founded by the talented producer Armen Miran. 

The name "Hoomidaas" is a stylized acronym for "who made us," paying homage to the past and to the idea that we are all connected to each other and to the universe.

One of the things that sets Hoomidaas Records apart is their massive compilations, such as "Hoom side of the Sun" and "Hoom side of the Moon," which frequently feature more than 20 artists on a single release. These compilations showcase the diversity and talent of the label's roster, which includes both up-and-coming artists and well-established names in the electronic music scene.

For this mix, I used tracks in the 123 bpm range to create a consistent flow that keep listeners engaged from start to finish. The selection includes some of my personal favorites from Hoomidaas Records, as well as tracks that showcase the label's unique sound and style.

I hope you enjoy this tribute to Hoomidaas Records.
