"i ve always had a bit of a split personality between really fast,
loud or sensous bangers and all-envelopping, thick-padded, soothing
ambient. in the past i got to share my poppy obsessions du jour directly on the dancefloor back when clubs were still a thing and i was running a silly,
chaotic and very gay monthly party called saint hollywood.

with almost all of my coping mechanisms suddenly unavailable and a bunch of
writing to do, i ve spent most of the past year digging for soft, soothing sounds i can listen to over and over, especially at times when i can barely listen to music at all. 

lexi inviting me to contribute to one of my fav series has been an amazing gift and i hope this little mix does it justice <3"

I'm happy to unveil the first episode of my new show, "Collective Memory" on @radioalhara with a first guest, the incredible @stella-zekri-ouiddir 🌹

Collective Memory embodies an artistic testament amidst humanitarian turmoil, a resounding call for Life woven intricately with melodies and frequencies, steadfast in its reminder of music's most noble duty: to unveil truth.

In homage to the foundation of this radio and to preserve purpose within this endeavor, I'm inviting those who dared to raise their voices and unite to scream the truth.

While some seek to detach the human from the artist, I anchor intention as the essence of this concept, therefore empowering guests to express themselves in any form they choose.

For this inaugural episode, I'm happy to invite Paris-born, Berlin-based (who also happens to be Algerian 🇩🇿♥️) selector, @stellasnacks whose sound perfectly reflects her being : a fearless spirit, uncovering harmony amidst diversity, seeking beauty in every moment.

As the founder of @body_language_bln and a resident DJ at Cocktail D'amore, she reigns as the queen of extended sets, a masterful storyteller capable of uniting all on the dancefloor.

Collective Memory w/ Stella Zekri (Radio Alhara 22.04.2024)

With division, wars, genocides, violence, and despair filling up so much of our lives, I need to nurture my inner sanctum with energy and frequencies that keep my spirit alive, so I made this mix. 

An hour of sounds dedicated to strengthening the spirit through emotional release and energetic care. 

Save it and get back to it if you need help reminding yourself of that place you breath from.

☀️Get to know SAMAR :

Raised in Tunis and now based between Brussels and Milan, @samarchepa embodies the essence of our Mediterranean heritage, where food and music are central to cultural expression and boundaries are meant to be surpassed.

Excelling in experimental bass, jungle, breaks, leftfield, and electronica, SAMAR transgresses traditional dancefloor codes with her dynamic range from visceral ambient to blood-pumping percussions.

As a food curator and music selector, she blends flavors as skillfully as she does tunes, creating an atmosphere that reflects the warmth and poetry of her Mediterranean soul.

This year, she launched @bouiboui_catering , a catering project that elevates the culinary experience by exploring vibrant and soulful cuisine 🥘

Don't miss the journey she curated for all of you!

Disco Tehran with Track Advisor and Hamdi Ryder @ The Lot Radio 01-22-2025

Guest mix for @track-advisor's excellent show "Collective Memory" on @radioalhara!

I started out by DJing house parties and cocktail bars in Paris almost 14 years ago, with labels like Sublime Frequencies and Sahel Sounds as some of my first sources of inspiration. When I first came across ‘Music from Saharan Cellphones’ circa 2011, I would have never imagined I’ll get to work for the label. This mix is my tribute to those early parties, digging some of the lesser known/electronic tracks from the @sahelsounds catalogue.
