Psychedelic 5

Here’s Kantocast 018 Mâi - “Selections from Mâi’s Kitchen”

Mâi is a Berlin/Istanbul based musician/producer/live act. It is a musical mirror to his journey, evolves and changes slowly through time. With a unique blend of indie dance music and Anatolian folk impressions, Mâi's music is both captivating and thought-provoking. Whether creating oriental soundscapes or driving funky beats, Mâi's music is always authentic and engaging. With a strong focus on visual and audio storytelling, Mâi’s live performances are an immersive experience that transport audiences to the narrow streets of Istanbul. 
Occasionally ornamenting with his soulful improvisations on the keyboard, his practice is the reflection of ‘what if’ questions and experimentations on creative points of contact between sonic ideas. It doesn’t stick to any existing genre while always keeping a signature oriental essence.

*What pushed you towards music production? Where did the inspiration come from?
My drive for music production has two roots; 
One root is in my introverted side.This comes from the intention of expressing myself. Telling about what I’ve been going through; what I’ve been enjoying lately, what I’ve been suffering from. As if I’m keeping a journal. I’m trying to open a door to my inside world, not really caring about the opinions of the external world, just as a monologue. 
Second root is feeding from my extroverted side. I’m looking for ways to connect with people through art. Provide an imaginary space for people to connect with the art and find their expressions. It is a dialogue where I say something and people respond.
The meaning presents itself when both aspects are in balance. 

* Do you think music interconnects with culture? How does the environment you live in affect your music?
Music is a form of expression that turns into culture; also culture is the food of music. It is a continuous cycle where each one affects the other simultaneously. That is what makes the culture continuous and preserve its uniqueness. 
I am always inspired by my surroundings. The cultural, artistic details in a city; a tiny ornamentation on a building, the smell on the streets; the way people talk, behave and live; all these combined, unconsciously inspire me and shape my expressions. This fact hit me very clearly when I moved to Berlin. Before moving I always lived in Istanbul. So obviously my music was highly influenced by the life & culture of Istanbul. After coming to Berlin 1.5 years ago my musical expression shifted drastically to what this city presented to me. However I can see clearly that I carry Istanbul in me and it will have a glimpse in my creations.  

* Do you get inspired by any other form of art?
If we can define art as a creative human expression, I am deeply inspired by any form of art. Inspiration can come from anywhere, but I’m mostly inspired by the forms of expressions; details that I intentionally or unintentionally remark in daily life. So every art form out there, any kind of expression, at any moment can be a source of inspiration for me. 

* What makes a set a good one?
Honesty and a perspective..
A set is good when you lose yourself in it while finding some inspiration. For this, the artist needs to have honest intentions about what they are presenting. Also have to bring something unique to the table; a provocative perspective saying “have you ever thought of this before?”.
Craft can always evolve and develop, but honesty and a strong perspective is essential.

* What’s the process you follow when bringing tunes together? Is it instinctive only or do you plan ahead?
This really depends on the occasion. But most of the time I overplan it, then I go spontaneous and with the flow.

* What would you like to say about your podcast?
This set came about in a cold lonely Berlin winter. So I was dancing in the kitchen most of my days. I was feeling homesick and listening to lots of music from the Middle East. :)

My opening downtempo/midtempo set for Host&Sound one off event at Kunsthaus Zurich on the 19.05.2023.

Started my set slow and melodic to set the tone during the fashion show by Hanimanns - continued with a darker touch to finish with a oriental/happy vibe.

Thank you @s-high-ends for the great B2B after my set, where we continued on a groovy vibe with increased BPM.

Also thank you @MartinWelzl for the stunning closing B2B!

Thank you all for coming, dancing with me and sharing the love

Ransac Feat. Tabia - Liyeza (Original Mix)

The Mbuki Mvuki Movement is here to encourage and support Flinta artists. To help close the gap step by step. And this month we have the honor to enjoy the unique sound of Gela. This powerhouse of a woman just became a mother a month ago! In the last months of her pregnancy playing in clubs with loud basses was obviously not an option anymore, so she started exploring other creative processes on music making and mixing at home. This Mbuki Mvuki episode was made with a 9 month big belly! <3

Gela is currently based in the beautiful mountains of San Sebastian in Spain after living pretty much all over the country. Her DJ career started around 21 years ago, when friends opened a bar and asked Gela to provide the music vibe. She never stopped doing it since. Connecting with the crowd and meeting other artists is just too good and nurtures her a lot. Also another important part of being a DJ is enjoying spending a lot of your time digging and discovering music and Gela - well, she digs it ;)

Gela is putting a lot of effort when it comes to improving equality in the music industry. Inclusion of the underrepresented must be on the agenda for a better and more sustainable future. She is part of Keychange this year. Supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, Keychange is a global network and movement working towards a total restructure of the music industry in reaching full gender equality. Keychange consists of partners collaborating from 12 different countries, working proactively to make this change. And she has been granted the opportunity to represent her country this year. The movement has put together a pledge for equality in the music industry.

Mbuki Mvuki Mix #23 with Gela

Emotional, driving, dark. Deep, joyful, sensual. @nico-tober gives us a beautiful summary of the classic wild summer vibes for our ears and hearts to get lost in. Through the mixture of the dark and the light, we might be reminded of the beauty of the difference. By offering us a ride into deep emotions and playful ease, Nico Tober invites us directly into the full mildness of the now.

If this speaks to you, follow his invitation, start listening and keep dancing and dreaming.

Normally Nico prefers driving downtempo and melodic techno. For this podcast he has shared his slow favorites with us. If you listen closely, you can feel his love for melodic techno shining through. 

His passion for music and connection is evident in the way he manages @KataHaifisch. Nico plays a central role in our music world as a link for musicians, party organizer and owner of KataHaifisch. 

Thanks for your work Nico!

In einem Wald, im Glanz der Nacht,
Ein Wesen, das für Kunst erwacht.
Seine Hände flammten, Pinsel aus Licht,
Feuermalerei, seine innere Pflicht.

Mit Sternen und Träumen auf dunkler Leinwand,
Erschuf es Welten, so wundersam.
Die Kunst des Feuers, ein spiritueller Tanz,
Seine Seele entfachte, im nächtlichen Glanz.
