The Iranian producer will release his new, full-length album ‘Parallel Persia’ via Diagonal Records in May.

Sote has been at the vanguard of Iran’s experimental music scene for nearly two decades. The alias of SET Festival co-founder Ata Ebtekar and one of the country’s most accomplished electronic musicians, Sote’s music typically explores sound and anti-sound through abstract synthetic compositions that range from the delicate to the abrasive and the acoustic to the electronic. With a catalogue of releases for the likes of Warp, Opal Tapes and Morphine, Sote now channels his uncompromising, physical sound into a new album for Powell’s Diagonal Records. Entitled ‘Parallel Persia’, the album isa collection of electro-acoustic music that “deals with the illusion and creation of an artificial hyperreal culture manipulated and controlled by an imperious agency somewhere within all galaxies.”
