OMAKASE #473, Tribute To J. Saul Kane

Surah 29: Al-'Ankabut (The Spider) - Recited by Ahmed Abdelhamid Tahoun

Al-'Ankabut is the twenty-ninth chapter of the Holy Qur'an, consisting of 69 verses. It is a Meccan Surah revealed at a time of severe persecution for the early Muslims, and its primary theme is the trial and testing of faith.

The Surah is named "The Spider" after the powerful metaphor used to describe those who rely on false gods or other worldly supports, stating that their support is as flimsy and weak as a spider's web (Verse 41).

Key Themes in Surah Al-'Ankabut include:

* The Necessity of Trial: Emphasizing that belief is not merely saying "we believe," but being tested through various hardships and persecution, just as previous nations were tested.
* The Story of Prophets: Drawing lessons from the trials faced by Noah, Abraham, Lot, and Shu'ayb, showing the consistent pattern of testing believers.
* Righteous Conduct: Addressing the importance of striving (Jihad) with one's wealth and self, and urging kindness towards parents, except when they call for polytheism.
* The Weakness of Falsehood: The central parable of the spider highlights the ultimate weakness and futility of polytheism (Shirk).

Gold Code aka Raf Zevallos-Crowe, is a DJ/producer based in Orange County, California. A lifelong music lover, collector, and DJ, Raf's eclectic sets run the gamut of dance music with a base in-house and techno.

Growing up in 1980s Los Angeles, he was initially inspired by radio mix shows and DJs such as Doc Martin, Rob One, Michael "Mixxin" Moore, and 1580 KDAY Mixmasters. Moving to San Francisco in 1992, he immersed himself in its underground scene. Attending parties lead to working them and eventually to djing. He played his first warehouse in 1996 and spent the next 10 years djing and producing some of San Francisco’s most infamous parties and club nights.

"Gold Code" was initially founded as a music blog in 2007. The site showcased past, present, and future classics as well as his personal edits and DJ mixes. 

In 2009, he focused his efforts on music production and a live show. He adopted "Gold Code" as his moniker and debuted a well-received live set at the celebrated “As You Like It” parties. Remixes soon followed for Nude Photo Music and SubSensory labels culminating with his debut release, "The Day After" with remixes by Audioelectronic, Basskittens, Chris Fierenze, and Jonah Sharp.

2015 brought a move back to Southern California and a radio show, OMAKASE. Currently broadcasting live on Sunday from 6-8 pm [Pacific] on KUCI 88.9 FM, and livestreaming on www.twitch.tv/omakaseshow, showcasing the art of mixing past, present, and future classics.
