Intercell.053 - AMEKMAR

A razor sharp & dynamic late August mix by the Amsterdam based acclaimed dj/producer: @amekmar From a young age on, the Dutch and formerly Belgium-based AMEKMAR has been passionate about music and all it has to offer. Ever since getting her first cassette tapes, followed by a Discman and CDs, music was played all day, every day. AMEKMAR has a wide interest in music from artists of various genres, such as Duke Ellington, Nirvana and Cherry Moon Trax – to name a few. Their music has provided her with far-reaching insights into what music means to her and what it can mean to others. Once she felt the joy and excitement of standing behind the turntables and sharing the endlessly sought music with others, the microbe of deejaying settled deeply into her body. During her deejay sets, AMEKMAR knows how to keep the crowd moving by serving uncompromising, dark, energetic and yet somewhat mysterious techno, always including a decent and refreshing selection of records. Currently, both the pursuit of an academic degree as well as creating and playing music are what is keeping her busy. AMEKMAR can be described as an ‘all-or-nothing’ individual who goes after what she seeks by working her head off for it. Her goals remain dependable and straightforward: learning and getting better each day and developing as a person and artist by seeking to push her own boundaries. Her musical talent and growth haven’t been left unnoticed. Her development is paying off and has already taken her to venues in The Netherlands, Belgium and France, such as BASIS, Club Vaag and Racanze – but also festivals like Dour, Extrema Outdoor, Tomorrowland and Verknipt. Besides performing, she has also been making steps production-wise. With releases on Coincidence Records, Everyone on Acid and Tabulat, as well as in the process of creating her first EP, she can be noticed as fast-growing. Better get dancing.
