Armenia’s electronic music scene has been flourishing in the past few years. Poligraf is one of the city’s spaces which is not only showcasing international and local DJs, but is also holding classes to teach beatmatching, mixing and phrasing to a new generation. With foreign artists noticing Armenia’s music scene, some think that Yerevan could soon overtake Tbilisi as the underground and electronic music capital of the Caucasus.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
