GUEST MIXES

Protest music is unadulterated wrath, organised rebellion, it is anger - but it is also love, healing and family. Everything we do at boxout.fm serves to empower, support and lend a voice to communities. Ours, and yours too.

In recent weeks, the skyrocketing violence in Palestine and Israel has claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent people, and wounded and altered the lives of thousands more. Senseless horrors steeped in generations of hate, that the world tells us can never change. We see and hear the bombs and accept that nothing can be done. We observe the open-air prisons in Gaza and the barbaric resettlement of native Palestinians in the West Bank with heavy, broken detachment. Images on screens that feel akin to museum exhibits, hideous figments from the history books, reminders of the worst of humanity's sins. But this really is happening right now, on this earth, as we live and breathe. The ground shakes beneath Palestinian feet as we try not to watch. And a heavy atmosphere of coerced self-censorship continues to take lives. 

The term apartheid has increasingly been used in relation to Israel but usually in a descriptive or comparative, non-legal sense. On April 27th of this year, Human Rights Watch released a thorough 224-page report concluding that Israel's actions are tantamount to apartheid even when interpreted in a strictly legal sense, rising to the standards set by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, and the Rome Statutes.

This unimaginable tragedy must end. We must educate ourselves, speak out fearlessly, and collectively pressure the world's powers to end the crimes against humanity once and for all. We stand with the people of Palestine in their right to freedom.

Tune in to our combined broadcast with Radio Alhara this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week. On Monday, we will broadcast 12 hours of original contributions from 14 boxout.fm resident hosts.

But more importantly, please educate yourselves, empower yourself with information, and pressure your elected representatives.

About DJ MOCITY:

First acquainting himself with the Delhi music scene in 2006, BOXOUT co-founder started his musical career as an MC with a few local hip-hop crews before creating record label AfterSHock Records in early 2007.

Interested in bringing the main elements of hip-hop (breakdancing, turntablism, graffiti and MC'ing) to a new audience, Mo hosted the Soundclash - one of the first reggae events in town featuring Delhi Sultanate & DJ Bellyas. He also organized Drop Beats Not Bombs in early 2008 and curated alternative stages for the Holi Cow Festival in 2009.

In 2014, Mo moved to Dubai where he worked for OHM Events and co-founded The 264 Cru, launch Karak Beats in 2015 gaining recognition by Red Bull Music Academy.

Mo helped launch weekly deep house event Deep Like and monthly event Lofi District, which featured artists like Selection and Daedalus.

Under his role as a Business Development Manager for OHM Events, Mo curated music for and was a part of the team behind events including Meet D3 and Sole DXB and hosts the bi-weekly “Karak Beats” - a music and art event.

The Sound Of: boxout.fm Recordings

FOOTWERK on CADA w/ Munasib & Astral People ft. DJ Mocity & Teejae

With Amapiano, Gqom, house, techno, hip-hop, sprinkles of R&B and ending on some drum 'n' bass, DJ MoCity and Nash demonstrate what many DJs claim to feature but few achieve: bending genres to the point the definitions of styles cease to matter. 

Remixes of Ice Spice and Jorja Smith are sandwiched between works by popular dance music names like Breaka, Nick Leon, Flowdan and Skrillex and several underdogs alike. Works by Indian forces SUCHI and Oceantied also make an appearance while the languidity of Batu's 'Marius' and the deviation from the western moulds with Mostafa Omar's 'Eleila Doob on Steroids' serve as examples of elements that add an ebb and flow to the fast-moving mix.

boxout.fm co-founder DJ MoCity and close dancefloor compatriot Nash find threads between varying works that only such seasoned selectors can – stitching them together and elevating them with their art to provide a masterclass on mixing.

Wild City Mix

Wild City #226 - DJ MoCity b2b Nash

Born in Baghdad, raised in New Delhi, and now expanding further around the world spreading his message of cross-cultural understanding through the common denominator of music - Mohammed Abood a.k.a. DJ MoCity is a music entrepreneur that's been hustling his way around Asia and beyond for the past decade.

With roots firmly based in hip-hop, he has entertained crowds and organised events all over the India whilst also being the creative force behind “Dubstation” at Bacardi NH7 Weekender. A stage that has tirelessly promoted genres such as dub, reggae, hip-hop, glitch-hop, dubstep and drum and bass – all on a large mainstream platform.

Don't forget the Rajahs either. The last five years have seen DJ MoCity, Diggy Dang and Mr Herbalist, turn their infectious passion for reggae music into a national sensation as Reggae Rajahs. Their enthusiasm and determination has seen them create strong international bonds placing India firmly on the tight-knit reggae map whilst consciously sharing their achievements with a very real and dedicated fan base. Five years has even seen the clan grow from three into five with new recruits Ziggy B and BeLights.

As a solo figure, DJ MoCity is evidently a forward thinking DJ.

Moving through a whopping 70 tracks in just over 100 minutes, the session on hand is rife with pulsing rhythms, R&B grooves, and washy synths yet with the music never feeling hurried. We suspect MoCity's current favorites feature heavily in proceedings, with a few selections also coming from local producers based in both India and Pakistan.

On a technical level, the transitions are generally pretty short, with one track subtly and quickly fading into the next. And while the mix has its bumper moments, the overall pace is beat heavy and groove consistent.

It's not hard to figure that MoCity clearly knows where the dancefloor is located, yet at this point he's just showing off his impressive beat catalogue, and we're happily tagging along for the ride.

Wild City #080 - DJ MoCity

DJ MoCity is an award-winning selector, promoter and co-founder of South Asia’s first online community radio - Boxout.fm. Born and raised in Baghdad and New Delhi, he spent his early days as a hip-hop loving teenager in India’s capital city. MoCity has since grown into a highly experienced and respected musical tastemaker, playing an instrumental role in the development of creative communities across Asia and the Middle East. Music has always been at the center of MoCity's remarkable career. Influenced by the likes of Andrew Jervis, Gilles Peterson and Lefto, he ensures that no matter what role he's performing - as a DJ, promoter, label-owner, music entrepreneur or radio host - he is stretching culture to the maximum. 

A global citizen, MoCity has consistently used his multicultural heritage to facilitate artistic exchange across countries and regions. The work he's done with pioneering crews such as the Reggae Rajahs (India), the 264 Cru (Dubai) and his award-winning podcast Motellacast, is a testament to his work ethic and philosophy. Along with the rest of the Reggae Rajahs, he has been instrumental in growing Goa Sunsplash into a globally reputed festival that consistently attracts an international audience and features both legendary and of-the-moment talent from reggae and dancehall communities across the world.  

Since 2016, MoCity has been hard at work building South Asia's first online community radio - Boxout.fm, which provides a solid platform to support under-represented independent and alternative culture in India and across the region. The station also runs its own record label called Boxout.fm Recordings, which, in a short span of time, has become one of the key players in India's flourishing independent music movement. 2018 saw DJ MoCity invited to curate a monthly hip-hop focused residency called Off-Air at Auro in New Delhi, featuring urban sounds from around the globe alongside local talent. In 2019, MoCity continues his upward trajectory, continuing to work on established projects as well as new undertakings with trademark enthusiasm.
