Kindergarten with Ma Sha Ru and Ayesha @ The Lot Radio 08 - 07 - 2021

Ez! 
A lil break in the pod series leads us to New York based duo Ma Sha Ru, stepping up for number 49. They've taken no prisoners with this 1, 50 minutes of heavy bass beltas. Sorta tunes that make you crave to wanna hear em on a system.  Big ups to them, a real corka of a mix :) 

We also caught up with em for a lil chat, read below! >

AM: What have you been doing recently? 

Setting up a new studio! haha We've been travelling to a few places last year to be together since COVID travel restrictions made things different. It feels nice to be finally back in NYC and have a proper set up. We also just released a new split EP with Ayesha on Kindergarten Records and a track on Pressure Dome compilation. Overall, we've been working on finishing more projects to come later in the year + preparing a new live set. Very busy and very much enjoying this! :)


AM: Your recent track for Pressure Dome as great, what’s the process behind your production? 

The process behind this track was actually atypical. The lyrics were written during our lockdown time in Minsk, Belarus. We talk about our willingness not to conform to rules that society puts on you and how to find a way to stay out of these limitations. The beat of the track was made during a short stay on an island in Italy during last Spring and deeply inspired by the freedom of the surroundings. There are water field recordings at the beginning of the track that were made on the spot. In this case we didn't have our machines with us since we were not in our studio, so everything was made in the box. Usually we involve the use of MPC 3000 and Bass Station II on our productions. 


AM: Where & how did you record the mix? Was there a theme for it as such? 

We recorded it in our apartment in Queens, NY. We recently moved a DJ booth to the living room, bought some big plants and set up neon color lights, so the vibes were just right! The set up is two XDJs 700, Pioneer DJM 600, a pair of KRK monitors. It's actually mad hot in NYC now, so we had a constant sound of the old AC working behind our backs but we think we still made it no matter how loud it was haha The idea behind the mix was to play some new stuff we got during this month and a few forthcoming bits from our friends. So happy to see everybody doing their thing - big up to our friends killing it with the tunes and labels!


AM: What have ya been listening to and digging recently?

Really enjoying the projects of our Kindergarten crew - Ayesha, Despina, Drummy, Stolen Velour and Ziyiz got something very hot in the works/forthcoming! We also just got back from a trip to Mexico CIty and felt very inspired by the Infinite Machine team and El Irreal Veintiuno productions. Of course, always big up to Sorry Records, Pressure Dome and Shubzin!

AM: Whats next for ya in 2021?

We have 2 EPs planned for the rest of the year/early 2022 and 4 compilations so far :) Going to start working on a new live set soon too, so we are looking forward to the future!

Sha Ru

We couldn’t be more thrilled to be celebrating our 6Y anniversary with these NYC-via-Berlin artists. Their creations are fueled by perpetual motion, spanning techno, breakbeat, dubstep and drum’n’bass. “We’re always moving from place to place; our music equipment is always in the luggage,” says Masha. In 2019, Sha Ru wrote Near the Equinoxes EP (Sorry Records), a spacious, dubstep-indebted project, and Zer0 (Kindergarten Records). As the pandemic closed in, they moved to Minsk, followed by Kyiv and Tbilisi. Until then, their creative relationship had existed in short, intense bursts. With time to explore a new workflow, they plunged themselves into dark, psychedelic depths. Three split EPs followed: Bernal Sphere (2020), Polychronia (2020) and Ether (2021). 
Immersed in the complex reality of everyday life in these countries, Sha Ru released Feel the Future, Belarus! and White Red White, Keep Up The Fight in aid of pro-democracy organisations. Through rhythmic spoken-word in her native Russian, Masha confronts the horrors of state violence over taut, skittering beats. Match My Sway, their debut for Woozy, fundraised for Ukraine’s Kyiv Angels and Repair Together charities. 2022’s V.O.I.D EP was the band’s first fully English-language project; an opportunity to not only experiment with more club-focused sounds, but also personal feelings of overcoming fear. Alongside VA compilations for Pressure Dome, Infinite Machine and Kindergarten, Sha Ru’s new direction is steeped in intimate experiences and narratives.

Kindergarten With Ma Sha Ru @ The Lot Radio 05 - 29 - 2020

Ma Sha Ru is a relatively new project from Ma Sha and Rú who spilt their time between Berlin and New York and have become known for their trippy, percussive driven productions. As a duo, they've released on local New York imprint Sorry Records and Kindergarten Records, the label, radio show and party series founded by Ma Sha. A very DIY approach to everything they do, Kindergarten started as a backyard party supported by friends and went on to host events at clubs such as H0I0 and Elsewhere. Community is very important to Ma Sha Ru and completely intertwined with the Kindergarten Records which meant it was only natural for the label platform to exist. Now on its fourth release, the label has housed records from exciting artists such as Drummy, Despina, Train To Eltanin, and Ma Sha Ru themselves. The latest compilation featuring all of the label staples is a brilliant showcase of where the platform is heading and its sound. Alongside their contribution to their mix series, we get The Lowdown on the story behind Kindergarten Records and their journey so far.
