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.

DJ Popup @ Drift Radio's Street party 17-05-25

Under an array of different names, with a nucleus of different collaborators, and moved by an even greater set of influences, Laurent Baudoux has been etching a critical place in Belgium’s music scene for over two decades. However, it’s under the wryly named alias of Lawrence Le Doux that he’s finding a new audience and appreciation for his sunlit electronics all over again.

EEMAIL w/ Lawrence Le Doux @ Kiosk Radio 27.05.2025

When the world feels better  
And when you’re out of luck  
I hope that I can be better  
Compared, and yet I’m stuck  

Hard to feel the dark  
When everyone’s better  
The hate you share is worse than being better—it’s just letters  

To fight the madness in the dark  
Is visible by day; oh, where do I start?  

Oh, I confess my feelings are hard to put down  
When happiness is toxic and it dances all around  
Who knows who you truly are? It’s a mystery  
And; Yet I think you’re more simple, you’ve got a head, so think  

When the time is near  
Hope that you find your fears  
To feel alive is better  
Than any kind of letters  

I suppose it’s all the same  
I hope you remember my name  

When the world feels better  
And when you’re out of luck  
I hope that I can be better
