The origins or this mix came together in lockdown when I was nostalgic for the long road trips I used to take with my family as a kid growing up in Tehran in the 90s. A typical road trip would take us from the overcrowded polluted capital through the Alborz mountains towards the Caspian Sea where we would spend long summer holidays by the beach. 

At the time of putting this together I was inspired to work with voice actor, Pedram Shahrabadi who lives in Tehran to come up with some fake adverts we could sprinkle through the mix. The best 3 are presented at the start of the mix. With the exception more recent tunes from Tohi, Mohamed Ramadan and Mezdeke this is the music that makes my perfect 90s Persian nostalgia road trip. I hope one day in the future I'll be able to go back to Iran and take that road trip again.

Persian Nostalgia 90s edition w/ Aria HomieBaba 210823

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
