Tatik's Turntables

From Chummy Studios, Hye Jams Radio presents, “Paisan and Friends,” brought to you by Haig’s Kabob House. They say some grandmas pass down recipes. Others? They pass down rhythms. On this week’s wild and wonderful episode of Paisan & Friends, your favorite Italian loose cannon tells the never-before-heard tale of Tatik Hasmik — a sweet old woman from the Armenian countryside who spent her days baking gata and secretly spinning vinyl in her cellar. When she passed away, people thought her music was gone forever. But legends began to swirl: turntables spinning by themselves... speakers thumping with no power... neighbors swearing they could hear beats under the apricot trees. Then, years later in a packed club in Los Angeles, something changed. Superstar DJ Sammy Flash hit the decks… and it wasn’t just him up there anymore. His hands moved like an 87-year-old woman making dough, his transitions smooth like softened butter. The spirit of Tatik had returned — and this time, she was bringing the heat. Dolma? Nah. DROPMA. Tune in as Paisan tells the hilarious ghost story of Tatik’s Turntables, spins the hottest NEW HYE JAMS from Armenia’s best like...Sekou King, Dayana and Minor Blend.  Plus drops bangers from legends like DJ Hakop, Tatul Avoyan, Arkadi Dumikyan, Ara Martirosyan, Sammy Flash, Elie Berberyan, Marco Mr. Tam Tam, Paul Baghdadlian, Artur Safoyan, Diana Harutyunyan, Arman Hovhannisyan, Andy, Super Sako, Marat K, Silva Hakobyan, Anette Aghabekyan, DJ Arman, MXO Ghazryan and Rafael Tunyan--to name a few. Only on Hye Jams Radio — where the music’s so good, even the afterlife tunes in.
