Recordat recorded on Radio Alhara in Bethlehem for @Menqui 

"Menqui is a Berlin based dj & musician with a remarkably broad interest in music. Besides sharing his discoveries from behind the decks he has also been involved in a variety of different projects. Since 2019 he takes care of the the label called R-i-O along Nadia D'Alò and Benedikt Frey. The three also collaborate together as „Dolphins“. Rumors are that there might even be a connection to the infamous, yet mysterious 'Serious Trouble' releases. Additionally he hosts „Past Forward“ a monthly radio programme on cashmereradio together with his colleagues kryptic dj and hendrik stein."

Mix of the Week #524: Menqui & Akvilina - Islands In Space

Nach nur einem knappen Monat können wir uns bereits mit der 16. Ausgabe unseres geliebten und sorgfältig gepflegten Furikasts zurückmelden.

Diesmal begleitet uns kein Geringerer als der legendäre und fantastische @Menqui !

Den in Berlin lebenden Tausendsassa zu beschreiben ist ebenso schwierig wie ihn musikalisch eindeutig zu verorten.
Dieses Vorhaben würde ihm auch gar nicht gerecht werden, denn genau das zeichnet sein musikalisches Schaffen erst aus.
Egal ob mit seinem @Riolabel , seiner Supergroup Dolphins, bestehend aus ihm, @Daloworks und @FreyBenedikt, oder @Pastforward, seiner Radioshow bei Cashmere Radio, die er zusammen mit @Hendrik_Stein und dem @Kryptic_dj betreibt. Es bleibt immer unkonventionell, frisch und spannend!

Aber auch wenn er sich alleine hinter die Turntables stellt, kommt stets etwas überraschendes und neues heraus. Menqui ist eben ein wahrer Meister seiner Künste und ein grosser Zauberer.

Mit Stolz und Freude präsentieren wir euch dieses ganz besondere und einzigartige Set und hoffen, dass es die Geister des Winters ein letztes Mal besingt, damit auch sie den Sommer durch ihre Ruhe finden können.

Manege frei.

Past Forward #94 with Akvilina & Menqui

Music for Indoors 33 comes from a reserved figure of Berlin's underground. ✨🌗 

Co-running R.i.O. label and being part of the monthly Past Forward Show on Cashmere Radio, @Menqui always strives to offer quality music. He DJs in Neukölln spots like @Sameheads, OTB, Ziegra11..., and at Fusion, @cosmicgathering, Nation of Gondwana, Zmar... Festivals. 

His wonderful mix for our Music for Indoors series www.instagram.com/ecoutesauvert, locks its slow rhythm & mood right from the start, flowing through deep ambient along meditative grooves. 

@Menqui was born in Pforzheim, a small city on the border of the beautiful black forest. After visiting Berlin a few times, he moved there in 2013. In his teenage years, his older Brother inspired him with his CD collection which was focused on US Hip-Hop and electronic projects like Prodigy, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and so on. He also had the chance to learn the violin, but the instrument never "clicked" with him, thus stopping around 13 years old. 

Later he turned his interests to Skateboarding and roots reggae, dub and jungle musically. As they didn't have any good events in their hometown, together with his good friend Benedikt Frey, they organized events called "Larifari", which were mainly focused on dub techno and deep house. 

Since then, @Menqui has spent much time in record shops and browsing the web discovering all kinds of music, from obscure German tracks from the 70s and 80s to psychedelic funk from all around the globe to more wavy stuff, Ambient, Krautrock, and much more...

In 2019, he founded @riolabel with @freybenedikt and @daloworks, to release experimental dance music with a psychedelic touch, which is also suited for home listening.

Music for Indoors 33 - MENQUI (R.i.O. / Past Forward - Berlin)

recording from last sundays "tropical-cosmic-xmas" which was held at cashmere hq.

Tropical Cosmic Xmas 2024

This mix is a tribute to „Takeshi Terauchi“, the legendary Japanese guitarist known for his razor-sharp picking and surf rock-infused playing. It features his solo works and collaborations with f.e. „The Blue Jeans“, capturing the energy of 1960s eleki music. From fast-paced instrumentals to cinematic twangs, it celebrates Terauchi’s unique style of blending traditional melodies with Western surf, garage, and fuzz-drenched psychedelia.
