HRDF: Who are you ? :
A & Q: Arash & Quasar - Truth and Star - it’s electronic duo from Russia, two friends, DJs, collectors of rare vinyl records, musicians and painters.
Pavel Grachev and Vitaly Zhulkov.
The guys collaborate with such global labels as Hard Fist, Fauve Records, Calypso Records and Whypeopledance
Arash & Quasar also film interesting programs from their travels and tours called DIG LOTO, where the main characters go searching for rare old records with their best friend Vestax Handy Trax, and share musical treasures with people on their YouTube channel.
“Arash & Quasar" was born out of pure pleasure, juggling pieces of different sounds. Basically, we take interesting records with oriental old forgotten music, find some really catchy elements and feel that something new and beautiful can come out of it if we put our own arrangements, synthesizers and drum machines on it. Perhaps this can be compared with how to make a collage of different clippings from a magazine. Only instead of pictures, it's sounds.

HRDF: How did you discover this track? :
A & Q: Iveria was a Georgian music ensemble founded in 1968 that gained popularity in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. The group sang both georgian and contemporary songs, and released 6 vinyl albums on famous Melodiya label. It’s very beautiful folk voices, it’s wild drums breaks and crazy fuzzy guitars.
Song Azimat (Azamat) is an Abkhazian folk song. It sings about a man named Azamat and his family. He works on the fields with his family and the song describes their life.

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it ?:
A & Q: We are rare vinyl collectors. And the Iveria is one of our brightest and most beloved records from Soviet Union. We decided to pay remix to this wonderful Georgian ensemble. And make an old folk song with synths, arpeggiators and drum machines. This experiment is exciting!
We think it gives new life to a very old folk song. Now we can dance to electronic music and sing Abkhazian songs together.

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans ?:
A & Q: Buy new synthesizers) more and more)
Make as many new tracks as possible. We have several releases planned this year on very cool labels. And of course we will play in different countries and shoot new programs about vinyl.

Beat Resurgence: Diving into Sexy Lazer's 'Mid Life Crisis' Remix Collection. The original track, "Mid Life Crisis" by an Icelandic, Copenhagen based artist Sexy Lazer emerged from the depths of a personal spiritual journey – a turbulent yet transformative experience. The confusion, the waves of emotions, the melancholy – all channeled into a hurricane of energy that birthed not just a song, but an entire concept. Sexy Lazer turned pain into power, humorously embracing the tumultuous journey while sipping on "Mid Life Cider." 

Now, The narrative persists with a remix collection ready to resonate with a global audience. We invite you to rediscover "Mid Life Crisis" through the lenses of three distinguished artists, each infusing their musical identity into the mix. The first remix takes flight under the skilled hands of Panthera Krause, who is based in Leipzig and co-label owner of fulfilment. His interoperation of the original features arpeggiated synths, detuned elements, and distorted percussion, creating an edgy, unpredictable atmosphere. Elevated bass guitar notes ground the track, while Krause injects a distinctive rawness, channeling the unapologetic spirit of punk rock. 

Colossio and Theus Mago join forces in the crafting of the second remix, both hailing from the vibrant music scene in Mexico. They embody the spirit of "Blade" in their remix for Sexy Lazer's "Midlife Crisis" infusing the track with the legendary 303 blending nostalgia with futuristic energy. A robust baseline propels listeners onward, supported by percussive elements that add depth and texture to the musical experience. 

The remix package for "Midlife Crisis" is set to make its digital debut on February 16th. Hit reset, take another shot, and let those remixes be the soundtracks to your journey towards joy and fulfillment – even if 
it's just for the duration of this musical ride.
