Mix Series

We are kicking off our mix series with a very special guest: NESA AZADIKHAH. Hailing from Teheran (Iran), Nesa is a dj and a music producer in her own right, with several releases ranging from ambient electronics to industrial techno. As the founder of Deep House Tehran, a pioneering platform dedicated to pushing forward electronic music culture in Iran and connecting with the global electronic music scene, her work is more relevant than ever.

Nesa’s taking us on a 90ies infused trip with fast paced breaks, acid lines, dreamy pads and vocals.

Not Your Techno Mix #1 -  Nesa Azadikhah

The second guest on our monthly radio show on @radioalhara is no one less than our resident CHEB RUNNER. Buckle up for an hour of tastefully remixed Arabic pop classics and experimental beats.

Producer Cheb Runner (real name Reda Senhaji) is a musical hurricane rooted in Moroccan soil, exploring electronic musical landscapes. Nurtured by both worlds, he represents a new sound of in-betweenness. Using first hand sounds and recordings of his own sample bank based on traditional instruments, he mixes playfully analog with digital effects supported with a unique collection of synthesizers.

Our third guest on our monthly radio show on @radioalhara is none other than Aroh.
@aroh-dj is part of Kontakt Group and often spotted at @crevetterecords. Hangin’ around on the streets of the Brussels Capital Region and collecting some wonderfully weird records and MP3’s along the way. Not to be pinned down in a corner or genre but with his eyes always on the prize, Aroh brings a selection of tunes deeply rooted in the archive of the subterranean music catalogues.

Not Your Techno Mix #3 - Aroh

This months guest on our @radioalhara show is our very own resident dj Spirite.
@enjoyspirite is a Montreal-born and Brussels-based visual artist & free-spirited dj. Both in her recorded mixes and live sets, she likes to bring her audience on carefully crafted trips through a wide variety of sounds and emotions. Hop on and get ready to fly away!

Not Your Techno Mix #4 - Spirite

This month we have the pleasure of inviting Acid Lillies on our @radioalhara show!
@acidlillies16 is about dancing, loving music and sometimes noisy stuff. Not tied to one genre, she explores music all around with one goal : making people dance. From disco, to house, to hard techno with some jazz in-between, switching energy all around depending on the context she’s given. She recorded a deep, dancefloor ready mix to vibe to wherever you might be!

Not Your Techno Mix #5 - Acid Lillies

We are proud to present the next mix in our series by our resident DJ Timmerman. Timmerman is a resident DJ at Funke and the co-founder of the gay parties ''Supergay''. Over the past years he has built a solid reputation as a DJ, being the best version of himself when playing long sets for sweaty, hazy and intimate dance floors — surrounded by the vibrant community he aims to let his music resonate with.
The mix he recorded for us turned out to be a warm and deep ode to the big D, with some sharp and spacey edges here and there. Describing himself as a house DJ at heart, this inclination resonates in his approach to mixing techno, and that’s exactly where the fun’s at.

For this new mix in the series, we had the pleasure of inviting Zaatar زَعْتَر, a dj and producer of Moroccan and Belgian origins currently based in France.

Zaatar زَعْتَر finds her inspiration in the post punk and EBM movement of the late 80’ and early 90’ and melodies and sounds inherited from her home country Morocco. 

Let her take you on a captivating journey from light to darkness, an oscillation between joy and melancholy sometimes punctuated by oriental melodies.
