As a DJ, producer and remixer, Michael Mayer remains one of Germany's core celebrities in dance music. It's no secret that he spends his weekends traveling around the globe and back. Then, as a co-owner of Kompakt, he spends his weekdays deciding what will be released on the label and working with the label's artists. Amazingly enough, he manages to sneak into the studio on occasion to produce his own music and remix the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Foals and Rufus Wainwright. It's safe to say he loves being challenged and regardless of the pressure is never putting less than 100% of his heart and soul into everything he does.

In spring 2016 Mayer released his 3rd full-length album »&« on K7, a passionate and personal collection of tracks he produced cooperating with soulmates like Barnt, Prins Thomas, Hauschka, Joe Goddard, Miss Kittin, Kölsch or Roman Flügel.

Shortly after he was set to contribute to the legendary DJ Kicks series, again for K7.

Since March 2018 he is hosting his very own radio show on WDR Cosmo.

In April 2020 Michael released his first solo 12inch in ages called Higher.

Michael Mayer - Beshknowcast

As Hallie Flanagan once said “the power of radio is not that it speaks to millions, but that it speaks intimately and privately to each one of those millions.” And we love this medium as it gives us the power to travel without borders and host wonderful souls without limitations. 

“Beshknow Radio takeover on Soho Radio” is a one-week curated lineup of 13 programs freshly cooked by Beshknow residents and invited guests for Soho radio. 

The first day of the program starts with a collection of Iranian songs from early 70s to the Late 90s as a warmup and continues with eclectic live performances of local bands from Tehran. 

The following days of the week are dedicated to listeners with a diverse appetite in electronic music, experimental sounds and dance tunes.

POZX - Beshknow takeover on Dublab radio

Join us on a five-hour journey from Tehran to LA, transcending borders with music and waves—no visa required :)  At Beshknow radio, we cherish the magic of music, as it effortlessly bridges love and passion between nations and crowds. We facilitate this connection through radio and are thrilled to share it with Dublab. This show captures the essence of what Iranian youth and radio lovers listen to while partying, driving, hiking, and overthinking. Although we haven't highlighted the underground party scene this time, stay tuned for future episodes.
This audio journey weaves together a tapestry of music producers, DJs, and singers, many of whom write, sing, and produce their own music. From mixing rare old-school soundtracks to performing and singing at underground events, their creativity knows no bounds. Just so you know,  female singers can't perform publicly in Iran, but their talent shines through in this show!
We'll soon be celebrating Beshknow's 8th birthday! Over the years, radio has always been our magic wand. Whenever we wanted to take a musical journey, all we had to do was give it a wave and—tada! Radio is truly our magic wand, and the station is our temple.
We invite you to join us on a Persian carpet ride over the city of Tehran.

In our Beshknow Mix we tried to bring together a set of tracks that represent our taste and are close to our own music, in terms of style and mood. We wanted to mostly feature songs that are not very well-known, focusing on releases of the past few years. We also included three of our own tracks. Hope you enjoy!
