for the dancefloor

JAMIE - 02-04-2021 - Livestream

House music makes you feel good, gives you energy and is made for dancing. It awakens the urge to make you move, it starts a fire inside. The name Gimli is derived from the old Norse word Gimm, meaning fire. And that’s exactly what he’s bringing to the dancefloor; hot disco, fiery feelgood house and steamy grooves.. 

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐈𝐌𝐋𝐈

In this first mixtape you’ll enter my world of Gimli, where I’ll show you a selection of my favourite tunes to play during sets. Starting of with positive and feelgood gospel and disco, moving up the tempo to energetic house and breaky techno and finishing of with trancey tunes and hyperpop-ish bangers.

Gimli has a wide experience on stage as he played more than 500 shows in his 10+ years as a DJ. He played at festivals like We Are Electric, Amsterdam Dance Event, Draaimolen, Into The Woods, Solar Weekend and Sziget and in venues like 013, Effenaar and ZiggoDome. Furthermore he’s a Disco Snolly resident, booker at Club Smederij and plays all kind of different music under his aliases ‘De Manager’ and ‘Het Hiphop Journaal’.

Gimli loves to play shows, so slide in his DM or mail: dirk@hengheng.nl for more info!

Welcome To The House Of Gimli

@french_ii likes it heavy. His breaks, percussion, drums and bass all hit hard and it's always been that way since he debuted this project in 2019. Teenage experiences at hardcore parties initially set this style in motion and the years since have seen him hone in a distinctly UK-leaning sound. As a DJ, member of the former Tilburg collective BANGANAGANGBANGERS and promoter of his own events, he is all about high-impact club sounds. Right now, the Dutchman releases them on the Intercept label and brings everything from UKG to bass, dubstep to electro. 

This week the man born Frank Klick twists and turns through slithering club rhythms that operate above 130 bpm. There is an icy sense of futurism to the atmospheres of tracks by mainstays of this scene like Al Wootoon, Sam Goku, Stenny and Shackleton. A couple of his own collaborations with Ozzy and King of Snake set the early tempo and from there you will have a very tough job of setting still as he works through an array of intriguing face-melters, body poppers and ass-shakers.

Dekmantel Podcast 411 - French II

Birdcage Radio hosted Ma'rifa in their Avarium stage on Mantis Festival 2019.

Throw yourself into a world of wonderful confusion and delightful amazement
You will find the strike of the saz, the daze of the ney flute, Turkish and Arab voices,
All trapped in disco and acid Darbuka beats

Ma'rifa @ Mantis Festival 2019

Ma'rifa : Tribes and Rituals

''On the dancefloor with Ma'rifa, colours and tastes come together in a caleidoscope of sounds from the SWANA region.
He grew up in the Netherlands within a Turkish-Arab family, where he would rather play his self-made mix CD's than his fathers Turkish & Arabic cassette tapes. 
Now he grew to embrace his cultural heritage and can find himself well in the current culture of edits of Arabic disco classics, which he effortlessly blends with raw rave and fresh electronica.'' 

A live recording from the DJ set on KNUS festival on a hot spring day on the 20th of May.

Ma'rifa @ Knus Festival 2023

a forgotten flask, washed ashore where the sea meets the sands.. 
a young man, unintendedly finding and caressing his new found treasure.. 
a creature, set free, imagining his new home between the dunes..
a palace, made of earth, glass and steel, with mirrors, rugs and lights hanging everywhere..
a story, as new as old, unfolding...

welcome, to the palace of the Djinn.
