Transmigration: Music in Transit (1968–1975) with Eren Eren

Transmigration: Music in Transit (1968–1975) with Eren Eren In collaboration with Meyil Ekolojik, Paratonel Records & S.E.S Deep exploration into the concept of transmigration: the movement of people, ideas, rhythms and musical traditions across borders, continents and states of mind. Focusing largely on the fertile period between 1968 and 1975, this mix follows sounds travelling through Africa and the African diaspora, South America, the United States, Europe and Japan. At the heart of this movement are musical languages rooted in Africa, carried and reshaped across centuries through migration, displacement, colonialism and cultural exchange. African rhythmic traditions became fundamental to musical forms throughout the Americas, which in turn travelled outward again through jazz, funk, soul, Brazilian music and other diasporic forms, continually encountering new cultures and producing new interpretations. Rather than following a single genre or geography, the journey traces this circulation of musical ideas: Brazilian rhythms dissolve into psychedelic textures, spiritual jazz takes on new forms across continents, cinematic composition drifts into funk, and familiar melodies reappear in unexpected cultural settings. This is not a journey from one place to another, but a continual process of movement, exchange and transformation. Sounds travel, carry traces of where they have been, encounter new environments and emerge in altered forms. A musical map of migration, mutation and return. —— Eren Eren is an Istanbul-based selector DJ and producer who approaches music through a spatial practice rather than as a tool. His sets unfold patiently, shaped by deep listening, underground radio culture, and a long-standing relationship with records. Moving beyond genre, he builds slow-burning narratives where groove, texture, and silence coexist — creating shared moments rooted in context, memory, and feeling. Drawing from jazz, fusion, funk, house, tropicalia, dubwise and the underground currents that connects them, his selections remain subtle, raw, and grounded — guided by an enduring desire to act as a mediator between music and the people it moves. https://www.instagram.com/eren2eren —— Shooting Space: Meyil Ekolojik — a rural living and making collective, nestled on an Aegean hill. https://www.instagram.com/meyilekolojik Speakers in the room: S.E.S.
