Today, it’s the Armenian Christmas. And I have a gift for you. Something that many of you have been asking for quite some time. 
10 years ago, I’ve made a track based on traditional armenian music. I’ve been playing it live literally all over the world. When I look back, I’m so proud to have made you dance thanks to my Armenian roots (and I’d have never expected such a wave). Music is about energy and this can reach anyone. This is universal. 
This live edit was not meant to be a proper track. I didn’t want to have it appearing in my discography. It was more like an introduction for my shows. 
But now I’m closing a certain chapter in my life, opening a new exciting one. Most of you know that I’m constantly moving forward in terms of music direction. If the music don't move on, then it's dead music (said Miles Davis). And today I bury a part of myself and offer it to you. I’ll probably never produce this type of sound anymore. But this brought me where I am now. And I’m grateful. So I leave this here. For you. Play it loud so this soul remains alive, somewhere, somehow.

« Done Yar » will be available only on my Bandcamp : https://vikenarman.bandcamp.com/track/done-yar
All the profits will go to ArmeniaFund to help my people who has been affected by the war, to bring a bit of hope to all the children who (try to) celebrate Christmas today. 

Thank you for your unconditional love and support!

Happy new year / Շնորհավոր Սուրբ Ծնունդ

DJ Lady's Dad  is first and foremost the proud father of Lady 😻, and also a Gadigal / Sydney based Armenian Australian DJ 🇦🇲🇦🇺. 

DJ Lady's Dad discovered his passion for DJing because he wanted the skills and creative freedom to tell stories through music. His mission is to bring people from diverse backgrounds together through the unifying power of music, using his craft to hold space and curate immersive experiences for communities and individuals who may otherwise fall through the cracks.

With an eclectic and wide-ranging musical taste, DJ Lady's Dad is fine-tuning his signature sound by incorporating traditional Middle Eastern and Armenian folk elements (when appropriate) with modern techno, psytech, indie dance, and acid. By carefully selecting and fusing his favorite English tracks into the mix, he creates hypnotic and enticing atmospheres that resonate with audiences on a deeper level and drives home his underlying message.

The "Home CoOked" collection is DJ Lady's Dad's inaugural project, with more on the way. Each "Home CoOked" set is curated in distinct chapters, with decisions around song selection and order being driven by lyrical meaning, rather than simply pairing genres that are "meant" to sound good together. This unconventional approach takes listeners on a rapid, emotive journey through a diverse range of genres, allowing them to feel whatever they need to, sometimes without warning.

DJ Lady's Dad owes it to the "Your Shot" DJ competition (the world's biggest DJ competition) where he was selected to undergo 6 weeks of training and compete in the 2024 NSW Group 2 Showcase at the Home Made stage at Home The Venue. 
His debut performance, "Home CoOked 🇦🇲 / Welcome HOME 🇵🇸," received an honorable mention🏅further solidifying his reputation and creativity and as a rising talent in the Sydney and Melbourne electronic music scene.
