Azim Fathi—DJ, record collector, and founder of Paraffin Tehran—returns to Netil Radio for the May edition of his monthly residency, The Art of Digging. Known for his globally resonant sets and a deep commitment to sonic exploration, Azim offers a two-hour journey through his most recent finds and long-held gems.

The Art of Digging is more than a radio show—it’s a celebration of vinyl culture and the soulful pursuit of sound. Each episode invites listeners to engage with the depth and texture of music as an art form, tracing hidden histories and emotional resonances through curated selections.

For the May broadcast, Azim takes listeners on a wide-ranging expedition through the electronic underground, blending timeless cuts across Techno, Deep House, Dub Techno, and Electro. Expect immersive grooves and tactile rhythms from a thoughtfully assembled lineup, including works by Lost Trax, Aleqs Notal, Vadim Svoboda, Havantepe, Reedale Rise, Conforce, Salar Ansari, Payam Parvizi, Levon Vincent, Vakula, and others.

Known for his genre-defying sets at underground venues around the world, Azim brings a personal and introspective edge to his radio residency. This month's episode continues his commitment to storytelling through sound—an intimate mix of nostalgia, futurism, and cultural memory.
