Podcast No. 186 by MA'AM for @oramicspl platform
www.oramics.pl

Interview: https://oramics.pl/maam/

Anna Makay first debuted with her joint project with Márton Csernovszky called ooo & MA'AM, which has become an integral part of the Hungarian experimental scene. Her specific singing is simultaneously connected to ritual forms and contemporary trends and draws from a variety of electronic genres (even dance music). She also works with AIWA on the MA'IWA project, Her latest album was released by the Portuguese label ZABRA on vinyl and also digital format, but also released albums since 2018.
Matilda's video seeks a visual response to Anna Makay's (MA’AM) music - which explores the combination of globalized, almost commodified variants of sexual identity and the possibilities of personal desires born within the individual - through representations of LGBTQ+ bodies. In the video, the creators intentionally work with the feminine male body, not only as a conscious counter to
the heteronormative mainstream politics of Hungary, but also as a means to reach a local audience of LGBTQ+ communities.

Oramics was created in 2017 as a platform to empower women, non-binary and queer people in the electronic music scene, then it evolved into an independent booking agency representing @zosia-ho-ubowska, @dogheadsurigeri, @molimonster and @isnt. We work mostly in Poland where we are from but our crew is based also in the Netherlands, Austria and France.

The vital part of our activity is to support other struggling communities and also music and artists from our region (Eastern and Central Europe) who are heavily underrepresented in the international music scene. 

We curate club nights and concerts, co-curate festivals and other events, showcasing the most interesting artists on the Polish scene. We curated stages at OSA Festival in Sopot and Sanatorium Dźwięku Festival in Sokołowsko, Tauron Music Festival in Katowice. We also run club nights at Projekt LAB club in Poznań. Artists from our roster performed at festivals such as Unsound, Tauron Nowa Muzyka, Sacrum Profanum, Rhizom, Instytut, Audioriver and played in renowned venues across Europe such as Macao, Ankali, De School or Cafe OTO.

We run a podcast series dedicated to artists from mentioned groups, artists who recorded mixes for us were i.a. Noncompliant, Nazira, La Frachieur, Violet and more. Electronic Beats said that “Oramics podcast series is quickly becoming a favourite here at Electronic Beats HQ.”

We also organize workshops, with a safe, inviting space and a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the gear and knowledge that is not readily available. We’ve organized DJing workshops (CDJ and vinyl) as well as production workshops (Ableton, drum machines, synthesizers, mobile apps for making music etc.).
