About this album

Los Angeles-based Iranian-American producer/DJ Maral returns with Ground Groove, her third full-length album. This hypnotic release fuses Iranian folk traditions, classical, and 80s-90s pop, presenting a further refinement of her signature “folk club” sound.

Driven by persistent rhythm, the album is more than its literal grooves; it’s a meditation on resilience and the communal power of music. Maral seamlessly triangulates contemporary dance and heavy music with the traditional sources she samples, creating a bridge across time that is both intellectually compelling and physically moving, in which you can expect to be immersed in a unique sonic journey where the past is made present.
