discourse, moniker of Katayoun Arian, is an Iranian-Dutch DJ and selector from Amsterdam. She began digging, collecting, and playing music from 1930s-1980s Iran since 2015. First at self-organised parties and later at the iconic Red Light Radio. Her radio show titled 'Female Vocalists from Iran (and Beyond)' is a journey of deep listening across different musical landscapes, interweaving the voices of 20th-century female vocalists from Iran, and at times, the larger geographical area that comprises Iran. Her sounds span from soulful Persian Avaz to jazzy tunes, upbeat funk, and synth dusting up and bringing to the fore sweeping sounds and lesser known and forgotten gems from Iran in her sets.
