NTS x Highsnobiety: Cuffing Season with mi-el 101123

Another Palestinian-centric show as mi-el dives further into the intersections between the white supremacy, racialised capitalism and the afterlives of colonialism. This time she platforms the voices of Palestinians such as Yasser Arafat, the children of Al-Shifa Hospital and Dalal Abu Amneh, alongside a number prolific black scholars over the past century.

_selector // セレクタ
>[ mi-el ]<

_bio // 伝記
A deeply personal selector - with radars for the wacky, the moody and the lowercase - mi-el’s style is a deft balancing act, from sung soundscapes and explorations of her heritage to contemporary bass, electro, and vanguard electronics.

Those who’ve caught her live will know the former MOT booker and now NTS resident is apt to blur the thinning line between selector and sound artist, having torn up countless great nights, venues and festivals in just a few years: dare we say Panorama Bar, Field Maneuvers, Boiler Room, De School, Big Dyke Energy and FOLD. It’s folk wisdom, almost a given at this point, that mi-el is killing it. 


_thought process // 思考プロセス
“I wanted to record something that sounded like how I’ve been feeling these past few months. Something slow and dark and deep and brooding.”
