Dimitra Zina at Disco Tehran (Soundtracks of 1960s Greek Cinema)

Dublin-based producer and DJ Moving Still brings together parts of his Irish and Saudi heritage to make his fragrant sounds.

A veteran DJ on the Dublin scene, his tracks have taken the festival circuit by storm and has been featured in sets by Palms Trax, Hunee, Skatebard, Nabihah Iqbal, David Vunk, CC Disco, Eclair Fifi and Esa Williams. His tracks are on rotation at NTS and Dublin Digital Radio, and he has been a featured guest on Rinse FM, Radio Al Hara, Red Light Radio, and The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones on NTS. He has provided a guest mix for Nabihah Iqbal's Saturday night BBC Asian Network residency show, and has recently taken the reins of his own monthly show with Dublin Digital Radio and Radio Al Hara.

Moving Still is back with his 3rd EP which was released on Jive Hive Records on the 12th of March. He brings together 4 pulsating Arabic-inspired bangers. Taking its sonic roots from the Saudi-African dance tradition of the Mizmar, Moving Still blends acid basslines with traditional percussive patterns, taking us into a new, yet uninhabited realm. Tafadalo!

His mix for Disco Tehran, embodies the unconditional love that you get from being on the dance floor with a hint of sadness that it will never happen the same way again. A feeling that is truly missed and he can't wait to have you all back to his Majlis aka the dance floor so very soon.

Mixtape de Verano (Summer Mixtape)

"I believe that music is a conversation where movement becomes the language through which we connect and reach out to our lost ancestral roots.

When dancing, we move. Our sweat takes out all the shiny esthetics, all the bullshit that makes us think we are better than the other and  brings us back to our human truth. 

This mix is my truth. "

This is a mixtape to celebrate Yalda Night (شب یلدا shab-e yalda) this ancient festival of winter solstice is celebrated in Iran, Iraqi Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkey. The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) and 'Shahnameh until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and the glow of life. The poems of Hafiz which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranian families, are read or recited on various occasions such as this festival and Nowruz.
