Miaan: Genre-benders | AAMIROO & Monibi

We’ve all been there, surprised on the dancefloor, moving to rhythms new to our ears, yet sensing something familiar within them. The beat grips us viscerally, but often we don’t know where it comes from or what history lies behind its creation. Too often, our dancefloors and modes of music consumption lack context, and knowing these contexts helps us recognize and appreciate the stories and values carried within the music, beyond mere momentary consumption.

Electronic music history encompasses stories, stories of technology meeting tradition, of new advancements and tools opening doors to unheard sounds, of bending and fusing different styles and genres to create new subgenres and even new subcultures.

In this month’s MIAAN show, Aamiroo sits down with Monibi to talk about electronic music that thrives on blending, crossing, and fusing genres to bring new sounds to life.
