Recording of Rabih Beaini's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"After a year break, returning to Tisno's famed Voodoo Stage for the annual 3 hours craze was emotional. The late afternoon vibe building up into the darkness is a unique moment where the music shifts naturally, you could sense the tension in the air growing into a trance shared both by myself and the crowd. In the craziness of a wild selection, there were moments of joy, and trust."

Rabih Beaini at Dekmantel Selectors 2021

Based in Berlin Ruin is a writer, vocalist, activist and sex worker. She is passionately independent and is a founding member of the Sex Worker Action Group, Berlin Collective Action e.V and Radiant Love Berlin. 

We were first introduced to her through the release of a new EP in which she collaborated with D.Tiffany and Vani-T on Isla Records. Her contribution to the record allowed for her to reach and interconnect with a new audience, showcasing her own creative perspective toward lyricism, sound and design.

She herself was keen to explore this part of her nature in more detail and emphasises the importance of her and other sex workers amplification and inclusion in the wider music community. The following mixtape she has submitted is conceptual in nature and reflects the following ethos:

"It's not often that I am invited to participate in such a formate with a reach to the music community. I think it is incredibly important that we start to include sex workers in the conversation, not only because of stigma and raising awareness of their struggles but because of the incredible amount of exploitation of sex work aesthetic and vibe within the music industry 'the hustle'. Some think it's sick but existing in capitalism is harmful and violent and this is what I want to express. Do I like my work? no. I don't enjoy existing in capitalism, but furthermore sex workers are not only judged for the way we choose to survive within it but criminalised. And legalisation without decriminalisation is nothing, because it only regulates a very small amount of the community that can register. Being a sex worker becomes your identity, something that I could have never prepared myself for.

I would like to use this mix, What's your nature?, with two themes sewn throughout, almost as a collage. The themes I have chosen to speak about in my writing are pain/stigma & decriminalisation of sex work. The newly released record 'Calling Me' will be featured throughout the mix along with other collaborations, and some tones to accompany my writing."

Galactic Funk Podcast 020 - Anatolian Weapons

We still vividly remember the phenomenal Boiler Room set that @jasminhoek played in our club two years ago. For the first WAS. podcast of 2021 she laid down an outstanding mix with banging beats and raw energy that takes us right back to the place that we're all missing so dearly right now: the dark and smokey dance floor. 

Her contribution to our series is a solid reminder to keep the hope for better times alive because we will dance together again!
