Guest Mixes

For the last episode in 2021 I could convince the scandinavian artist Miia Magia, who delivered such a beautiful selection for the next hour.
Since nearly two decades Miia Magia has been traveling from Britpop and Nu Disco to Deep House and Techno. She organized parties and earned residencies at the legendary Helsinki clubs Semifinal, DTM and mbar that made her a diverse and open minded dj.
When she moved to Stockholm in 2015 for 4 years, she more and more developed her own deep, sharp, groovy and moody sound that is reflected in her contribution for this months episode.

When she moved back to Helsinki two years ago, she’s been focusing on producing music and run her own club and podcast concept Motto. The latest addition to that is the label project Motto Sono Records, run together with Mr. Barth alias Cari Lekebusch.

@suleyalhakeem

Suleyman, aka Suley El Hakeem is a young, Lancaster-based DJ who stepped into the world of techno during his time as a student in London. It was the atmospheric, deep and ultra-hypnotic techno which captivated him instantly, having stumbled across flagship labels such as Semantica, Northern Electronics and Spazio Disponibile. He thus decided to express his musical style of mixing through such labels and has since been working to bring this enigmatic sound to the UK. Quickly setting up his own online radio show, "Hypnozic Psychedelia" - over 2 years he used the show to showcase and develop his style to the online world, gaining support from the likes of Aurora Halal, Sybil, Gigi-FM and more, and these shows can all be listened to at @hypnozicpsych. He defines his style as cold, hypnotic and intimate with an importance on intense, dreary atmospheres.
In recent times Suleyman has dropped the radio show in order to further develop his sound and is planning on bringing it to sound systems in the UK through his collective Hypnozic Psychedelia.

This approach results in emotional, atmospheric and hypnotic works of art, which are transformed into performances to experience their narrative sound in various multisensory ways.

Parabel Podcast #71 - Miia Magia

SPOKEN089 - MIIA MAGIA

Today’s mix is served by Helsinki based MIIA MAGIA. Starting with her pure love for music, collecting records and clubbing lead her to become one of the pioneering female figures in the Finnish club scene. Her musical journey took her through 90’s UK alternative rock and 00’s Nu Disco and House, finally arriving into today’s classic Deep House and Techno.

Living and breathing the Stockholm underground club and rave scene between 2015-2019 refined her skills as a DJ and ignited the start of her own label Motto Sono with Mr. Barth (aka. Cari Lekebusch). Miia best describes her own style of playing as “deep and moody, sharp and groovy”. Her addition to the mix series is a perfect example of this description, however, classy and unique are words we would still add to this. Kickstart your weekend with this strong mix by MIIA MAGIA.

Miia Magia’s past two decades of exploring the dancefloor with her groovy and hypnotic sets has been a labour of love. The once passionate clubber, record collector and lover of the UK alternative rock sound today lights up her sets with dubbed out raw techno and classic deep house. Hailing from the LGBTQ+ scene where she is a staple figure and organizing various club concepts in Helsinki paved her way into entering the highschool of techno in Stockholm. A beautiful journey through festival stages, warehouse raves and club nights all over Finland, Sweden and Estonia with HALL, In To The Valley, Department and Kesärauha becoming some of her firm favourites. Miia is the owner of Motto Sono Records, actively running the label since 2020 with releases mainly focusing on Scandinavian deep house & dub techno. A rare gem of a label, keeping the underground culture alive and providing possibilities for artists to release uncompromised music for the demanding audience as well as DJs from up and coming producers to heavyweight pioneers.

Miia started out by playing at various Helsinki clubs and parties, which naturally led her to set up her own regular club night in Semifinal, a legendary local underground venue. “Club FF” became in 2004 the first club night in Semifinal's history run solely by female DJs, making Miia the pioneer that she is to this day. Miia continued trailblazing by gaining a residency in club DTM, the undisputed cornerstone or in their own words "institution of all things queer in the Helsinki nighttime", and eventually leading the massive Helsinki Pride parade for several years. At mbar, one of Helsinki’s most beloved cultural hangouts, Miia’s “Sound of Magic” concept became an instant classic. While DJing in the Finnish capital she has shared the stage with her local heroes Roberto Rodriguez and Orion to name but a few. Currently Miia hosts a resident bi-monthly club night “KICK” at DTM.

From 2015 to 2019 Miia was based in Sweden, making her way through the highly prestigious Stockholm underground techno scene. There Miia’s work was recognized with invitations coming in to warm up legends like Axel Boman, Cari Lekebusch and Dj Hell. Since 2022 Miia has been signed to Stockholm based booking agency Parabel Music.

After returning to Helsinki in 2020 Miia created the independent label Motto Sono Records together with Mr.Barth (aka Cari Lekebusch), following the principle of releasing distinctive and unique electronic music with the common definition “deep”. Releases by the likes of Alexi Delano, Joel Mull, Tm Shuffle and Tapani Rinne and collaborations with Scandinavian visual artists for the label’s cover art have made scrolling through Motto Sono’s catalogue feel like visiting an art gallery. Both Miia Magia's own and other Motto Sono masterpieces have earned plays and climbed up to best track lists on Finnish and Swedish national radios.

In addition to her main focus as a dj and label owner, during the past decade Miia has also been able to channel her creative talent and pursuit of beauty into make-up artistry and jewellery design. Often collaborating with performing artists, she has created looks for musicians like Jori Hulkkonen for his music video and the late great Prince's band members Cassandra O'Neil and John Blackwell prior to their concert in Helsinki. Miia Magia Design jewellery collaborations include several Finnish museums, Swedish record labels Drumcode and H-Productions and Helsinki Pride. Her jewellery has also made appearances on various red carpet events, out of which adorning Aki Kaurismäki's "Fallen Leaves" film crew members at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 is one of Miia’s personal highlights.

Many times, biographies of techno acts start by singing their praise of an extremely early,
extraordinary talent on synthesizers and other electronic devices.

In Heron’s case, things are different. Because Martin Spittel has been shaped musically since his childhood, the influences were as diverse as music can be.

On one side, there was his grandfather, who played various instruments, and to whom young Martin related closest to and whose influence still lasts until today. On the other side there were his cousins who were not much older than himself, enthusiastic about AC/DC, and band members themselves. Over the course of the following years, he explored the diversity of Black, Death and Trash Metal, EBM and Industrial, right up to Detroit Techno.

Ever since then, Heron's environment served as compensation to ferce parties and expanding his musical horizon. This symbiosis from the love of nature and the musical influences from his early childhood are a direct reflection of Heron’s entire life.

Following the scream of the waders (limicoline birds), he moved to picturesque island Norderney in 2003. There, exploring the island’s national park, he decided to live up to his enthusiasm about nature by going to study landscape ecology at the University of Münster. It turned out: The relocation to Münster was the initial spark for his career; the months in Norderney were inspiration for the name of his label “Limikola” which was founded in late 2008 and enjoyed enormous support by both DJs and fans.

After launching his now very successful °Schaltkreis-parties with four friends in mid-2007, everything went quickly: His first own radio show “The Grasshopper Warbler”, contacts to prominent players like Someone Else and Heartthrob, and finally the moment in early 2008 during the season’s opening at Time Warp, when Richie Hawtin played all three tracks from Heron’s Retro EP. It was merely his second EP, released on a netlabel (Minisome), and it became immediately successful. A knightly accolade.

The journey that Heron started lead to his bombshell track “Welcome to the Adventure Club” that charted in the Beatport charts in 2008, and continued with remixes and releases for Synewave, Supdub, Swap, micro.fon, Prosthetic Pressings and Sleaze Records. In 2010, it culminated with a tour across North America during the summer.

Two years later he released his very first EP on the legendary Detroit label KMS Records, owned by Kevin Saunderson, followed by remixes for Drumcomplex, P-Ben and Chris Gekä, one collaboration project with Inner City's Ann Saunderson and his second solo release „Ride The Pride“. Furthermore he made the step into the Soma family by publishing three solo EPs and an EP with Kevin's son Dantiez Saunderson, as well as he started to release on Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings.
