The story behind Sufi Soul
Why a trance & techno station carries the name "Sufi": Middle Eastern scales, desert atmospheres and the warm, hypnotic groove behind every Sufi Soul remix.
People often ask where the name comes from. Sufi Soul is a sound, not a message. It describes the Middle Eastern colours that run through Armin Touran's remixes and originals: the scales, the hand drums, the long desert pads and the vocal lines that feel like they are travelling.
A sound between two worlds
The idea is simple: take the energy of the dance floor — trance, melodic techno, organic house — and give it the warmth of the East. Traditional ethnic instruments, dark driving basslines and soaring melodic layers meet hypnotic electronic rhythms — in remixes of timeless classics as much as in originals inspired by legends like the Phoenix (ANKA) or the endless desert (Mirage of Nomad).
Remixes and originals
Next to the Sufi Soul Remixes of tracks like Café del Mar, Children and Scatman, there is a growing catalogue of originals such as ANKA and Mirage of Nomad. You can find them all on the Releases page.
Why a radio station?
Because this music works best as a journey. Sufi Soul Radio plays 24/7 — Ethnic Trance, Melodic Techno and Organic House, mixed with tracks from artists who share the same spirit. Press play, and let it run.
