Features a special Friday Night Global mix with LA-based, Iranian-American producer Maral, sharing her insight into the sounds of a night out in her home city.
Maral Mahmoudi grew up with Iranian music. She was raised primarily in Virginia, near Washington D.C., but spent fifth and sixth grade, as well as childhood summers, in Iran.
She draws upon a vast personal archive of Iranian folk, classical, and pop recordings (some sourced from mixtapes made by her parents in the eighties/nineties).
Maral speaks of being in collaboration with her samples, treating each as a distinct bandmate, often consulting with an artist’s catalog (or even a single recording) as one would a trusted creative partner.
She recently released her third album ‘Ground Groove’.
