Outsiders: Sonic Imaginaries of Latin-Persia w/ Katayoun @ Kiosk Radio 04.02.2024

Katayoun aka discourse is a boundary-pushing and eclectic DJ, selector, and a longtime digger of Iranian music. With a knack for finding rarities, her mixtapes are skilfully curated, blending soothing melodies and funky rhythms with a soulful ability to shape sonically elusive environments that push beyond borders. As a music archivist and activist, Katayoun curates her sound around particular themes, shedding light on underknown genres and overlooked gems in Iranian music history and beyond, including Jazz and Latin rhythms. Being a dancer herself since early childhood, she knows how to move a dancefloor and engage an audience from beginning to end. Her skill and expertise have brought her to different stages, for example at the Melkweg as the support act of Sevdaliza and many other venues and radio communities across the Netherlands and abroad. This show, Jazz and Funk from Iran and Beyond, travels through jazz and funk from the 70s Iran all the way to sounds from Cairo, Ethiopia, and 'Tehrangeles'.

Jazz and Funk from Iran and Beyond w/ Katayoun @ Kiosk Radio 17.02.2024

Sonic Imaginaries is a show by Katayoun with sounds spanning from soulful Persian Avaz to jazzy tunes, upbeat funk, Latin rhythms, and synth from Iran and beyond. Bringing to the fore a host of underknown gems and narratives by way of musical storytelling, Katayoun’s work has long recontextualized Iranian music from the 60s and 70s from a generic realm of ‘nostalgia’ and oblivion into a specific and sonically dynamic space of universality, temporality, and relationality. This iteration muses on visiting Iran’s Funkytown of the 70s – the cosmopolitan city of Tehran – with tracks by Ramesh, Martik, and Hayedeh.

Outsiders: Sonic Imaginaries w/ Katayoun @ Kiosk Radio 04.08.2024

Outsiders: Sonic Imaginaries of Iranian Flamenco w/ Katayoun & Sono Mayrit @ Kiosk Radio 06.10.2024

Iranian-Dutch Katayoun dedicates this show to the sonic imaginaries of Iran’s 70’s; a time when prominent Iranian musicians and artists including Googoosh, Farhad Mehrad, Black Cats, and Zia covered English soul, blues, and funk tracks by Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Boney M. ​​

These interesting musical explorations not only reflect the country's complex relations with the United States, intersected by a colonial dynamic and notions of 'modernization', but also with visions of freedom, sociability through collaboration, and the identification of oppressed people internationally through music. This show also includes a cover of the iconic folk hit ‘Jolene’ by Dolly Parton and 1960s hits by influential bands like The Beatles, The Mamas and Papas, and The Animals.

Outsiders: Sonic Imaginaries - Funk, Soul & Rock Covers w/ Katayoun @ Kiosk Radio 03.11.2024

This show explores the marginal yet impactful “Iranian Dance Wave” that emerged in the 1990s–2000s, from the vibrant Iranian diasporic cultural scene in LA, also known as Tehrangeles. While the umbrella term Iranian Dance Wave isn’t widely used, it offers a useful lens for understanding how the music featured in this show is rooted in a transnational sound that also became widely embraced in diasporic Iranian music production of the 90s-2000s. The mixtape is a vision of car and dance music - it weaves together Italo Disco, Eurodance, trance, progressive house, and Tehrangeles pop, genres that shaped my own musical upbringing. Bridging high-energy dancefloor sounds with sonic heritage, the mix features both iconic anthems and hidden gems. It’s a personal reflection and a celebration of a uniquely global sound that continues to resonate across generations and borders.

Genres
Eurodance, progressive house, trance, Tehrangeles
