We snagged a very old & beat up dusty pile of African 45’s from the Sahel Sounds HQ on our last visit. This mix is the result of our findings. Strictly vintage classics of the highest order. Classic sounds from Western, Northern and Central Africa from the 1960’s & 70’s ! Recorded live in one take, just the hits man! ENJOY.

Enjoy this mystical all vinyl mix recorded live at Beacon Sound in Portland, Oregon during our SEEKERSINTERNATIONAL ALBUM RELEASE PARTY. DJ Tarsier brings the rhythm and the hypnosis, from traditional persian gems, Saharan Takamba, to a plethora of wicked outernational dubwise sounds.
DJ Tarsier AKA Polygon Press AKA one half of Zam Zam Sounds AKA Tracy Harrison is one of our favorite Portland artists. As Polygon Press Tracy has been responsible for the look of several Boomarm Nation releases, and if you are not familiar, please get to know her impeccably designed and curated vinyl only label Zam Zam Sounds which she runs with her husband E3. Tracy is an inspiring example of DIY artistic vision and commitment, and a BAD ASS DJ LADY! Max respect. Enjoy the sounds.
A tribute to the incredible music of Don Cherry. A long time musical hero and inspiration to us at Boomarm central HQ, we dug deep into our collection and selected 80 minutes of wide reaching music by the man.
Get into it!
Mixed by Gulls live on 2 turntables and a CD player.

Joining us on the Hi-Fi: XJ. Boomarm brother XJ. The man hails from just outside of Paris, France. He runs a fantastic blog, makes killer beats, mixes, and ink drawings. This episode is a deep voyage into the outer worlds of real sound and its reflection through the underground. Heres a tracklist and summary in the man’s own words… Big up XJ.
“Its subway tunnels of Paris on line 7, It’s a forbidden area but its one of those rare places to be at peace. The cycling lamp stuff, warm tunnels during winter nights. The lights station coming…Waking u up. As the sun.
Most of the selected tunes featured in this podcast have travelled already, from the speakers to our ears (referring to Guglielmo Marconi’s conception of frequencies: Marconi became convinced that sounds once generated never die, until we can no longer perceive them. The sound generated is never lost , they just become fainter as each second passes). After all, it’s like offering a backdoor to escape daily madness on our earth, and bring our attention back from convoluted mainstream and full entertainment that Huxley was describing in “Brave New World”… Music today is a very difficult thing to approach if you’ve just landed on our planet, you’ll be submerge with tons of law “quality” “music”.Lo-Fi is very much Hi-Fi to me, if we’re talking about fidelity to the Music. Thats why Dem Hunger/Wanda Group is featured more than once, thats why Steve Reich is also there with Gil Scott-Heron in a street interview i ripped online. Even if it sounds messy ‘n crispy, loud or distorted. I just hope i made it enough for transport purposes…” – XJ
Joining us on the Hi-FI: Nathaniel Young. I have recently discovered the music of Nathaniel Young AKA – FLORAL. His recent release for Purr Tapes dropped my jaw and gave me a newly needed jolt of hometown pride. This Portland, Oregon native is on his way, making some visionary rhythms of splintered dense patterns of kicks and percussion, and tons of beautiful noisy layers. Gorgeous stuff.. Dont sleep on his music!! Cop his recent release, and also check out his collective BLANKSTAIRS, they too have a deep level good release just out. Dig in. Big up Nathaniel.
