'sighup''s music is deeply inspired by religious and spiritual thought, especially of radical Islam, and tonight's mix explores these elements. 'sighup’ just released a cassette single titled “OBE(T)/ARMY” on Tapdup Records. ‘sighup’ is an electronic musician based in Seattle, WA. As co-founder of Tapdup Records, an outlet for digitally produced electronic music, his sound is influenced by Chicago Footwork, ambient music, and non-Western music.
1. Ya Makkah - Traditional Arab Naat (‘sighup’ edit)
This
piece is also known as Ya Taiba. I don’t know who the singer in this
sample is, but I’ve gotten the tune stuck in my head pretty much every
day since I first heard it, so I figured it would be fun to play with.
2. Hengameh Paykareh (“Time of War”) by Sadiq Ahangaran (‘sighup’ edit)
This
is a song from around the time of the Iran/Iraq war, and I can only
assume the crowd singing along are a bunch of young soldiers off to go
to war. Sadiq has a ton of other music, and it’s mostly about Husayn,
martyrdom or Karbala.
3. UNKNOWN. (‘sighup’ edit)
Unfortunately I lost the original name of this song. I think it’s a Hezbollah propaganda song I found on YouTube.
4. Darāmad (Homāyun) by Akbar Seyyed Hoseyn Tāherzādeh
This
is a piece appearing on the 2014 Honest Jon Records compilation titled
“Let No One Judge You”. My dad was so excited about this release when I
told him about it.
5. SSPORTS - 36MAFIAVGROUPER
This
is a “mash up” of sorts by my Tapdup label mate SSPORTS. As its title
suggests it is a mix between Three Six Mafia’s “Late Night Tip” and
Grouper’s “Wind and Snow”. Personally, I think it’s away better than the
original Three Six Mafia song.
6. C_L_E_A_N_E_R_S - “Real Raga Shit Pt. 1” (Excerpt)
This
band is great. They’re from Brooklyn and have been putting out amazing
stuff. Loads of beautiful found sounds. Check out this release on
Bootleg Tapes.
7. A phone call from Aghayeh Karbalaii
Bahram
Moshiri runs a radio show called “Sarzamineh Javid”. Aghayeh Karbalaii
called in to recite an excerpt from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh.
7. Cedaa - Tiffany
Cedaa
is a producer from the San Francisco Bay Area. This track came out in
2010, which is like a decade ago in juke terms, but it has really stood
out to me since I first heard it three and a half years ago.
8. Millie & Andrea - Stage 2
Millie
& Andrea are Andy Stott and Miles Whittaker. This track has been
described by my roommate as “what SSPORTS would sound like if any of his
songs were longer than a minute”.
