MAKAAN
@ UNIT 58
Makaan is back with it's third instalment on Saturday 11th June. We want to thank everyone who has turned up to make each event so powerful and moving, creating a shared space to feel comfortable to let go, liberate and party, Makaan would not be the same without each and every one of you, we appreciate when the community comes together to bring Makaan to life. In the sharing of cultural and musical liberation, the values Makaan represents, as a safe space party and a place for SWANA artists to share frequencies, all contribute to our fast developing community, we would be nothing without the conversations and movements that progress our knowledge and awareness of the wider world. For our next chapter, we are heading to the creative hub for a warehouse party @ Unit 58 to bring a whirlwind of pulsating, rhythmically hypnotic techno, all with a powerful and sonically elusive Funktion 1 soundsystem, to deliver the soundtrack of our Makaan. In keeping with our motivations that we are as much a party to sweat as we are with a cause, we begin our night with a stream from Sharona Lico, based in Tehran. In highlighting artists from across the world, it is our desire to go beyond borders that are considered too far and dangerous, and bring a global community together, for love of techno and electronic music. On the line up for this June offering of Makaan, Anahita Shamsaei is joined by Mehmooni London's RONISA, a visual artist, curator and DJ from London & Tehran. Genre- bending by nature and known for her high energy sets, she blends minimal with acid baselines, driving techno and melting electro, which its sure to get you moving on the dance floor!! Hailing from London, IYESHA is a Leeds based DJ, creative and co- founder of "Rat Party" who works to create safer spaces for sex workers, the gender diverse and QTIPOC. On closing duties Makaan founder Anahita Shamsaei will send us through the vortex with high energy hypnotic techno to bring us all under one roof raving!!!!! Grab your ticket early to avoid disappointment, once we're sold out we can't guarantee entry on the door. See you on the dancefloor for our next Makaan party. @makaan
