Description: #femalevocalists #Iran #cosmopolitanmodernism

Listening sessions

As we enter another epoch in the collaboration corridor of DW, this time the obscure music hoarders at Radio Alhara reached out and asked if we could supply them with a mixtape for September. It is only on rare occasions these days that the three architects of Dream Weapons, Moahaha, Sadhu Sadhu and Prabha Devi, join forces, but this was an opportunity we couldn't turn down. 

Three minds were sent racing into the void to collect sounds and sighs captured on tape from all corners of the globe. The tracks were shared and listened to and carefully put in order, artwork created, blurbs written and off it went into the ether, off to Palestine, to perfume the air of different realms.

Dj Jabbar - Moundanam Az Boudanet

An influential artist in this underground music scene with his tasteful tracks and music. His longtime presence in this scene combined with pioneering sampling and mixing of old school Persian tunes with upbeat electronic grooves, makes arash one of our most favourite artists. We are enormously excited and thankful for this unique “soft” set by Arash Seda. His taste and view, shows off our “soft” concept from a whole new dimension. Enjoy his brilliance.

DISCOURSE (ir/nl | FWD: Gher Space) 
discourse (Katayoun Arian) is an Iranian-Dutch DJ, curator and writer based in Amsterdam. She is the founder of FWD: Gher Space, an Amsterdam-based platform that aims to be a home for a growing community of womxn and non-binary DJs and artists in particular. The platform strives to connect music loving audiences, dancers, artists with different experiences, cultural backgrounds, and gender identities, to diverse musical traditions, communities, and venues. Growing up in the Netherlands, Katayoun developed a versatile musical interest ranging from techno, classical music from Iran and beyond all the way to funk, smooth jazz, R&B and dancehall. Currently, she is particularly interested in the question of what an archive can do, and therefore also what and archive can be by activating and rearranging aural archives centring on female vocalists from Iran and beyond. Her mixtapes for Red Light Radio entitled 'Female Vocalists from Iran (and Beyond)' are arrangements through which she explores but also emphasizes her conviction that the meaning of archival documents changes through the ways they are activated and (re-)arranged.
