Show Notes
Born and raised in Morocco, Chami has been djing there before moving to Lyon, France where he discovered his passion for techno. Now based in Berlin, where he has definitely become fully integrated in the Berlin local underground scene.
Chami is one of those artists that truly reflects the spirit of techno, no superficial exterior surface of these days but only focusing on the pure art form itself. He is also part of the face 2 face project with OPH where they played facing each other using 2 mixers and 4 vinyl turntables which lead them to play multiple times in Berghain.
He also co-founded with Olivia Mendez the label DIG Curated. Driven by community ethos at the core of their music vision, they are reinforcing the power of collaboration and discovery in the scene. By inviting renowned diggers and DJs to present lesser-known artists with each EP, DIG Curated became a pioneering vinyl label, conceived to empower new music talents and play a key role in the techno movement. By using the visibility and trusted endorsement of well-known artists, DIG Curated gives a platform to rising artists to be seen.
He is also part of the Minijob French crew which organizes illegal raves in abandoned locations in the outskirts of Berlin, welcoming everyone regardless of genre, origin and sexuality with a wide variety of music from house disco and techno. These events are organized without public promotion and managed to gather a solid regular audience base that supports their values and trusts what they do.
With his strong and determined vinyl only sets Chami is able to showcase his talent on the decks and demonstrate his deep knowledge for this very technical art. When listening to him, you can lock in for clean, rhythmic and mental hours of no bullshit techno.
