This EP is my first solo EP. After years of DJing and digging sounds from all over the world the time has finally come.

The 3 tracks of this solo EP illustrate my experiences of the last years acoustically. The fast rhythm patterns of the Mexican capital are, sometimes surprisingly sometimes organically, weaved into the wobbling dull basses of the Berlin club scene. Infused with yearning synths and demanding claps, this EP is a metaphor for the feeling of feeling at home in several places of this terribly beautiful world and, accordingly, always being confronted with the feeling of missing one of them. Dark, demanding and melancholic.

Johanna-Mascha from East Berlin 1996

Music producer and DJ, MASCHA, hails from East Berlin, born into the vibrant music scene of the city in 1996. Raised by a punk DJ mom deeply entrenched in the Berlin club environment, MASCHA developed an early and profound understanding of sound. In her late teenage years she started already to visit parties in Berlin and has never lost the interest of its fever. Now she developes her own sound with her memories of that young litte raver girl. Since 6 years she has been living in Mexico City and is one of the key figures of its music scene, from working at a radiostation, where she hosted her own program and was also part of the booking team, she fast got to hold several residencies.

Beyond her role as a music creator and performer, Mascha is actively involved in the Queer community. From organizing DJ workshops, Panel Talks exclusively by FLINTA* individuals to producing and playing her music, she is a dynamic force contributing to both the music scene and community empowerment.
