IR sonati

During the 90's under the name the UNDERDOG I remixed and produced a vast variety of artists, both underground and mainstream rooted in my love of Hip Hop, Dub, Jazz Rock, Electronics & Psychedelia. Working with Massive Attack, Unkle, Gravediggaz, New Kingdom, U2, The Pharcyde, Run DMC, and many other iconic artists of that era, I made a name for myself creating melodically dark & abstract beat heavy music, a precursor to Trip Hop, an original take on a sound that had predominantly been solely US driven.  

Starting with my own UK Rap label 'Bite it' I producing releases for legendary London rap crew The Brotherhood as well as released iconic records by mavericks like Lewis Parker and The Scientists of Sound. During the mid 90's The Brotherhood signed to Virgin Records and their debut album ELEMENTALZ was highly acclaimed and took on legendary status as one of the finest UK rap albums of all time. 

Most of these records are unavailable to listen to on any streaming services or CD (the majority being vinyl only) So I decided to showcase a selection of my finished Underdog productions on my monthly NTS show.

UNDERDOG - REMIXES + PRODUCTIONS 1993-1999

The Rituals of Infinity

The Dark Labyrinth

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

A small autumn concert from foggy nights to the bright Indian summer. Jazz, Tango and Folk, as poetic and multifaceted as the autumn days in Rome, Buenos Aires or New York.

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

First aired on Cashmere Radio on October 12, 2024

The Endless Tape Machine #31 - Autumn

After the launch of our Moonlight Sessions mix series a few weeks back, we're back with #002 from none other than Charlie Bones. 

As a vital figure in the underground scene and the brains behind the Do!! You!!! radio and label, we invited Charlie down 3 weeks ago to which he brought his usual mixed bag of tasteful selections to the liveliest crowd we've seen so far in our humble Dalston hotspot! 

You can listen back to the sonic journey set off by Charlie and Dave Holloway as they bounce between jazz and dub to house and rare gems you didn’t know you needed.

Arash Eshghi_ majnoun

جانا ز فراق تو این محنت جان تا کی		دل در غم عشق تو رسوای جهان تا کی
چون جان و دلم خون شد در درد فراق تو		بر بوی وصال تو دل بر سر جان تا کی
نامد گه آن آخر کز پرده برون آیی		آن روی بدان خوبی در پرده نهان تا کی
در آرزوی رویت ای آرزوی جانم		دل نوحه کنان تا چند، جان نعره‌زنان تا کی
بشکن به سر زلفت این بند گران از دل		بر پای دل مسکین این بند گران تا کی
دل بردن مشتاقان از غیرت خود تا چند		خون خوردن و خاموشی زین دلشدگان تا کی
ای پیر مناجاتی در میکده رو بنشین		درباز دو عالم را این سود و زیان تا کی
اندر حرم معنی از کس نخرند دعوی		پس خرقه بر آتش نه زین مدعیان تا کی
گر طالب دلداری از کون و مکان بگذر		هست او ز مکان برتر از کون و مکان تا کی
گر عاشق دلداری ور سوخته‌ی یاری		بی نام و نشان می‌رو زین نام و نشان تا کی
گفتی به امید تو بارت بکشم از جان		پس بارکش ار مردی این بانگ و فغان تا کی
عطار همی بیند کز بار غم عشقش		عمر ابدی یابد عمر گذران تا کی

No Frills - Curiosity Thrilled The Cat (Guest Mix , 2019)

خواهم کــــــــــــــــــــه بـــــــر زلفت ، 
هر دم زنم شانه ، هر دم زنم شانه
 ترسم پریشـــــــــان کند بســــــی،
حال هرکســــــــی، چشم نرگست
مستانه مستانه ،
خواهم بر ابرویت ،
هر دم کشم وسمه ،
ترسم که مجنون کند بســــی،
مثل من کسی، چشم نرگست دیوانه دیوانه ،
خواهم کــــــــــــه بــــــر چشمت ،
هــــــــــر دم کشم سرمــــــــــــه ،
ترسم پریشان کند بســــــــــــی،
حال هر کســـی، چشم نرگست
 مستانه مستانه ،
خواهم که بر رویت ،
هـــر دم زنم بوســـــــــــه ،
ترسم کــــــه نالان کند بســـــــــــی،
 مثل من کســـی، چشم نرگست ،جانانه جانانه ،
یک شب بیا منزل مــــــــا!
حل کن دو صد مشکل ما!
ای دلبر خوشگل مــــــــــا!
دردت به جــــــان مـا شد!
روح و روان مــــــــــــا شد!

شعر از شوریده شیرازی
