Past Forward #76 w/ Sallad Egg

Live recording from the czech countryside. Thank you @zmarfestival for having me 🎠

at ZMAR Festival 2023

Menqui is a Berlin-based music enthusiast, always on the hunt for musical treasures ranging from obscure electronics over weird disco tunes, wavey bangers, proto house and way more. Aside from his immaculate credentials as a DJ, he is part of the monthly radio show „Past Forward“ on Cashmere Radio, manages the R.i.O. label and produces music as one third of the „Dolphins“ project. Menqui’s mixtapes invite you to float away and dream to, but if you’ve ever heard him out you already know he knows how to work a dancefloor.

Past Forward #94 with Akvilina & Menqui

Music for Indoors 33 comes from a reserved figure of Berlin's underground. ✨🌗 

Co-running R.i.O. label and being part of the monthly Past Forward Show on Cashmere Radio, @Menqui always strives to offer quality music. He DJs in Neukölln spots like @Sameheads, OTB, Ziegra11..., and at Fusion, @cosmicgathering, Nation of Gondwana, Zmar... Festivals. 

His wonderful mix for our Music for Indoors series www.instagram.com/ecoutesauvert, locks its slow rhythm & mood right from the start, flowing through deep ambient along meditative grooves. 

@Menqui was born in Pforzheim, a small city on the border of the beautiful black forest. After visiting Berlin a few times, he moved there in 2013. In his teenage years, his older Brother inspired him with his CD collection which was focused on US Hip-Hop and electronic projects like Prodigy, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and so on. He also had the chance to learn the violin, but the instrument never "clicked" with him, thus stopping around 13 years old. 

Later he turned his interests to Skateboarding and roots reggae, dub and jungle musically. As they didn't have any good events in their hometown, together with his good friend Benedikt Frey, they organized events called "Larifari", which were mainly focused on dub techno and deep house. 

Since then, @Menqui has spent much time in record shops and browsing the web discovering all kinds of music, from obscure German tracks from the 70s and 80s to psychedelic funk from all around the globe to more wavy stuff, Ambient, Krautrock, and much more...

In 2019, he founded @riolabel with @freybenedikt and @daloworks, to release experimental dance music with a psychedelic touch, which is also suited for home listening.
