Dance Decay Show - Lower Grand Radio - DJ Rodchenko - (11 10 24)

I got home and removed my claws
In the waiting room are different laws
Of what you can carry
And what you can do
When the distance is altered
This place will fit two

Because you should feel safe
And you should feel larger
Let me lay down first
None of that ol' "How's your faatha'"

Welcome to Somnistanbul
A city designed for you
Where no shadows scream
The monsters under my bed might be real
But they are tied
And you're safe in your dreams

Our wires are insulated
Contact isolated
Hands held, skulls apart
A safe space for your needs
And every want, I can't judge

I'm black tar, even supine
I must dissolve my acid tongue
Once asleep you can hear of my crimes

Because you should feel safe
Feel larger
Let me lay down first
Speak of only bromidic old banter

Welcome to Somnistanbul
A city designed for you
Where shadows scream
And monsters under the bed are real
But now they're tired and you're safe in your dreams

Our wires are insulated
Contact isolated
Hands held
Skulls apart
You lay unaware of my deeds
Back down, eyes facing the Pliades

Welcome to Somnistanbul
A city designed for you
Where shadows scream
And monsters under bed are real
But they're tired and you're safe in your dreams

Back in 1988-1989 i started DJing. Along with a group of friends we promoted our first parties "Moonstomp", favouring the underground sound of New Beat and the EBM coming out of Belgium, Holland and the UK. Since then i have promoted and played at various parties from United Frequencies of Dance in the early 90's alongside DJs such as Andrew Weatherall, David Holmes, Darren Emerson  and Leftfield's Paul Daley
In 2004 we formed The Digital Gimp Society! and regularly showcased @ 333 in Old Street, East London with Blackstrobe DJs, Mark Moore, The Hacker and Jo Jo De Freq as well as promoting various events across London.

Early 2014 saw the birth of our latest project, Música Noche, and over the last 12 months we have enjoyed promoting numerous parties with guests including Craig Bratley, Richard Sen, Daniele Baldelli, Ruf Dug, Is It Balearic, Nancy Noise and many more.

Influences from Prince to Nitzer Ebb, Hip-Hop to techno make up my style, but an open minded love of all good quality dance music, hopefully prevail in my DJ sets. 

Rami Abi Rafi’s work captures the essence of his migratory experiences. Born in the UK and of Lebanese heritage, he nowadays bridges between two burdened and deeply absorbing cities: Berlin and Beirut. The journey from London to Beirut, and current presence in Berlin, breathes the life into his work and inspired him to harmonize these influences in the different facets of his oeuvre.

As a DJ, Sound Artist, and Photographer, Rami's practice reflects a life lived at the crossroads of cultures and places. Subtly confronting and surprising, his works aim to empower imagination as they retell stories through music. They are an invitation to explore themes of memory, time, migration and forced existential exile. 

His first live performance was in Madame Claude’s infamous EXPERIMONTAG nights, one of the strongholds of Berlin’s experimental music scene. From there he appeared at Tresor’s New Faces, Silent Green, OHM, and ELSE and established a presence in Berlin's night culture. Rami has also made a name as radio host through monthly residencies on Radio Alhara, Noods Radio, and Cashmere Radio. 

Insijam, his show on Cashmere Radio focuses on the essence of chances and encounters. In Arabic, Insijam means harmony, and in this show different sounds peacefully coexist and enhance each other. Musique Concrète naturally merges with traditional Lebanese music, spoken words, and improv jazz. In these performances, Rami forms an auditory journey that deeply resonates with feelings of displacement and the eternal quest for belonging. To deliberately bring about this sentiment, Rami is versatile in using media - tapes, recordings and vinyl collected in the fragmented places that influenced him, are puzzled and layered together. They build fluid structures that bring people together and make them belong- through the experience of listening. 

For “love is on my side” on Noods Radio, Rami showcases Cold Wave, Post Punk and Synth tunes with a focus to offer a space for reflection. 

"Layali Insijam" on Radio Alhara, is a continuation of the INSIJAM project by documenting Folk music from Lebanon by highlighting musical plays and instrumental pieces. Radio is an important vessel of self-expression for Rami, and in his words, working with Radio made him a better listener and DJ.  

Moreover, Rami’s sound projects extend to sound art by amplifying chairs and manipulating samples of traditional Lebanese instruments. The Oud, Nay, Qanun, and Tabla intertwine with electro-acoustic elements, field recordings from Beirut and Berlin, and spoken words to evoke a sense of contemplation. 

But his examination of places and spaces and their significance for one’s identity and sense of belonging doesn’t stop here. As a photographer Rami’s current focus is on taking urban pictures. He seeks to find a deeper understanding of boundaries. They either separate or unify public and/or private realms, giving birth to spaces, which Rami coins as a “diasporic field”. Within these newly human-defined spaces, the pictures serve as a mirror. They capture and reveal these for Rami so important themes of remembrance and displacement.

Rami’s pursuit of harmonizing a fusion of influences - may it be via sound or visual art - acts as a reminder to embrace the beauty of chance encounters and form deep contemplations about belonging and the fluidity of cultural identity.
