This track is a vibrant fusion that bridges ancient traditions with modern dancefloor energy. I've woven the evocative sounds of Persian instruments—specifically the soulful Ney flute and the shimmering Strings (hammered dulcimer)—into a driving House mix. The result is a unique blend of deep rhythmic grooves and melodic, exotic textures. It’s perfect for setting an atmospheric mood or, as I intended, getting a room on its feet. Let me know, if it make you also swing :)

"I believe that through music we get to express a multitude of feelings, thoughts and experiences. The songs I've chosen reflect my experiences in life...love, heartbreak, excitement, yearning, inspiration, and even carnal desires....What connects all of my song choices are amazing beats, melodies and lyrics that one really feels..."

"We should consider everyday lost on which we have not danced at least once. "
-Nietzsche

"During the Covid pandemic, I have been deeply drawn back into music and listening in an even more present and profound way than usual. The songs that I chose for Ian Friday to feature on The People's Playlist accent a few themes that have been at the forefront of my consciousness, and they are spirituality & meditation, sex and desire, family and chosen family and the enduring and ongoing fight for equality and Black Lives."

I love South Africa house music style because it's very similar to music from Central Africa Republic where I come from. It really touches the core of your soul. The feeling is different, you don't just feel it as music from the surface but it penetrates deep inside the fiber of you. It takes you to another place, a happy and even orgasmic place.

Most of these songs Ian introduced to me, but a couple of them, I brought to him! That was the type of musical exchange I came to know and love dancing without a care  back in the Sunday Tea Party days.  Ian rocked everything from Blaze to Biggie! Pure freedom! 

Some of these songs may feel like they don't belong at the club, but Ian taught me that all music can find its space on the dance floor. You can bust out the baby powder, but be prepared to get in close or do a little floor work!
