when we were birds 
we fled to the hills rolling under stars 
pressed our faces against the warm texture of the sky and when the law tore at our wings 
we were swallowed by a broken city 
filled with the dead and statues of forgotten gods now we have risen now we rise we rise 
now we survive we stand like the pillars of a coliseum here at night we are feathered with freedom 
and a kiss detonates in the heart of an artist 
we live without borders and upturned grass 
raw like the unsaid words resting in the mouth 
of a dead man sleeping beneath the ground 
here at night we live between silos and trees 
with leaves cursed by the moon and its cousins 
we live between the music of a lover’s quarrel 
to the pound of the drum laced with acid jazz and the houses we burned to get here 
to the hoom side of the sun

Mashk & Soul Button - Hana No Ame [Hoomidaas]

Los Angeles based Record Label
Cover Art by: Rambalkoshe

New Release: https://linktr.ee/hoomidaasrecords

Hoomidaas Records is the record label of the DJ/artist/producer/multi-instrumentalist Armen Miran along with his partner Christina Acobiance. The word Hoomidaas is a stylized acronym for the phrase “who made us”, paying homage to how past narratives shape the present moment. Armen states, "I would not be who I am if it wasn’t for my past." This shows that he holds a deep respect for experiential knowledge above all else and intends to capture that through this label venture. Furthermore, when isolated as “hoom” in Armenian it means “raw” and when artists are invited to be a part of Hoomidaas releases Armen asks them to imagine what the raw part of the sun (the other side of the sun that we cant see) would look like. He loves to challenge their perspectives and hear what experiential wisdom emanates from his fellow creators. 
 
The music, artists, and artwork/design are a huge priority for Armen. His mission is to hand-craft every aspect of Hoomidaas adding to its memorable intrigue via his experiences travelling and playing shows. He tells us that, "a few years ago I played a 12 hour set surrounded by the most beautiful artwork all over the walls of the space. That space is called Rambalkoshe. Since then we have been collaborating with Rambalkoshe and they’re who made our vision and art design come to life for many of the illustrations associated with the label." The synchronistic nature of the partnerships he embarks on are a strong indicator that intuition combined with drive can take you somewhere truly magical. 
 
Currently the label works with a handful of artists. They have each of their artists release a mix on their mix series called “Midaas” which comes out every two months. Additionally the label releases bi-annual compilations, one in the summer called “Hoom Side of the Sun” and one for the winter called “Hoom Side of the Moon”.
