Rahill in Los Angeles
When stars (and schedules) align, bestowing upon you the chance to spend a few days with Rahill while she’s in LA, you drop everything and hop on the freeway. At least, that’s what we did.
Rahill Jamalifard is a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in upstate New York. The founding frontwoman of Habibi, NTS Radio resident, and fútbol aficionado, Rahill imbues everything she touches with eclectic, melodic vivacity.
We tagged along to the studio, soccer practice, her Goldline DJ set, and soundcheck at The Lodge Room. Scroll for the full interview.

What was the last song you listened to?
Quick Canal by Atlas Sound ft. Leticia Sadler
If you could captain one soccer team what team would it be and who would be your co captain?
Barcelona and co captain would be Keane so it would maybe have to be Man United - I’ll take the 1999 team if that’s the case. Other co- captain honorable mentions - Maldini, Puyol, Cafu.
Defensive trust.
Fav Iranian record to get the dance floor going?
Record is hard to say - theres typically a range when it comes to Iranian artists and their records.
But song, I’ll say two:
Nahmehraboon by Fataneh
Bigharar by Moein
Classics.
Dream gig?
A show opening for Stereolab, Cortex and the Blackbyrds DJ sets after by Underground Resistance and Larry Heard
