Music

This page lists Arminful's original productions: tracks written and produced from scratch, not remixes of other artists' records. Arminful is the stage name of Armin Esmaili, a Persian DJ and music producer based in Oslo, and the originals are where his Persian roots and his club sound meet head on.

DIV is the clearest example. It takes Persian inspired melodies and traditional textures and rebuilds them as Dubstep, with heavy bass and hard drops. The idea behind it was simple: people said Persian Dubstep did not exist, so Arminful made it. WTF follows the same Dubstep line in a shorter, harder form.

Open any track to see the cover, the release date and every place it is streaming. Spotify, SoundCloud and YouTube links appear on their own as soon as a release goes live on each platform, so the buttons are always current. New originals show up here automatically after they are published on SoundCloud.

Many of these tracks also end up in Arminful's DJ sets in Oslo, next to Persian classics, Baile, Latin, Dancehall and house. If you heard one at a party and want it played at yours, you can request a date on the booking page.
