In Episode 7, Ami Dang chats with Maral, a Los Angeles-based artist who has formed a unique vision of club music, one that embraces her heritage and recontextualizes it for a new audience. Focusing on the interplay between sounds and culture she combines Iranian folk field recordings with raw distorted beats, hoping it will introduce listeners to new ways of perceiving music. Through her music, DJing and involvement in the scene, Maral seeks to both educate and have a positive impact on others. Check out her work at https://soundcloud.com/maral66 and on IG @_ma_ral_.
