Monument Techno Podcast 466 – Menal Batti Tracklist
Menal Batti is a DJ and resident at the infamous filtr parties in Brno. With a profound passion for 90s techno, Menal Batti seamlessly blends forgotten deep cuts with the freshest contemporary sounds, all while intertwining her Kurdish heritage into her musical narrative, drawing inspiration from her father’s saz—a traditional instrument symbolizing her cultural roots.
“The intent behind this mix was to create something close to the chest that unfolds quietly. It moves with weight and tenderness, guided by feelings of tension, spaciousness and I would say even a trace of mysticism.
I’m personally drawn to opposites and like to juxtapose softness and pressure, clarity and haze, ultimately enabling for my music to inhabit those in-betweens.
For me, it’s not about reaching a peak, but about shaping a space or perhaps even a void you can disappear into.”
