Persian Wedding Song Remix (in Farsi)


A couple of weekends ago i DJed a wedding party for Sarge and Leyla.  Leyla's mom brought me a couple of CDs with some persian wedding music to play.  I thought one of them was pretty interesting to i kinda worked it into a beat i was working on.

The lyrics are in farsi so i don't know what is being said and i'm not sure that the arrangement is in a way that the lyrics make any sense now.  i do think it sounds kinda cool though.  When i put this together i did it because i like the idea of blending different musical styles together, i sincerely hope this isn't offensive or rude towards anyone.

Some of the tricks i tried to use involved some grouping of effects in a timeline.  Using a simpler in a bassline and warping and cutting in arrangement mode.  there's a couple filter delays in there, oh and i used a corpus effect on the bass drums after i wired them through their own audio channel.. that was a trick i learned in a tutorial from dubspot.

The wedding was great by the way and both Leyla and her mom are adorable.  Thanks for the tracks.....

  1. Jesse,

    Sounds good and I think you should try to mix more old school Persian with beats like this. You might even create a new niche for Persian listeners. It'll probably do well with most westerners who are into electronic as well because it still has that middle eastern/hindi beats feel to it.
