ep.3 [shaking heads, bending spines, liberating one’s body]: Inspired by her own pain in the face of hostile political climates, german rap‘s resistance to assimilation, and the arabic songs of her childhood, Mona Khaled‘s [Mona Abdel Baky] mixes become moving yet danceable artefacts of time. It‘s these moments of communities coming together into seemingly unorganised, liberating choreographies of shaking heads, bending spines and moving bodies that Mona accompanies with their sonic practice. For this session she curated a special mix that together with the interview explores how sounds of one’s past can become the soundtrack of tomorrow
