About this event
Makaan exists across regions shaped by borders, sanctions, and shifting realities. When those realities change ,whether locally or globally ,they directly affect how and when we can gather.
Because of that, we move carefully. We navigate calmly. We respond strategically rather than push forward without consideration.
For us, solidarity is active support. It means standing beside one another; even when the difficulty is not directly yours. It means choosing care and responsibility.
Thank you for your patience and for the support we’ve felt during this time.
We’ll see you on 20th of June.
What ultimately brings us together is music! and solidarity.
What does solidarity look like for us, in practice?
Lineup
Anahita Shamsaei
Anahita Shamsaei, a London-based underground Techno DJ and founder of Makaan Records, focuses on underrepresented SWANA+ and MENA region artists. Born in Sheffield, UK, and raised in Tehran, Iran, she holds a degree in Islamic history and Middle Eastern studies from SOAS. Anahita's passion for Techno led her to self-teach DJing, finding expression in the genre's inclusivity. Through her sets, she challenges patriarchal norms and advocates for visibility of all unseen and unheard artist in the music industry. With Makaan, she amplifies the presence and voices of SWANA+ artists, asserting their existence and breaking barriers in the music world.

TAHA ONE
Dark, percussive techno with North African heat. Taha One weaves hypnotic rhythms through shadowy soundscapes - where tribal grooves meet strong low end in a dance floor ritual. Resident at Makaan, his productions pulse through the sets of Alarico, Laurent Garnier, Chlaer, Cravo, Marrøn and those who speak the language of primal electronics, just to name a few —his music is sweat-slicked, dark, and built for bodies moving in strobe-lit shadows. Expect drums that stalk, synths that coil like smoke, and grooves that pull deeper with every bar until the room becomes one heaving mass of motion—that’s where TahaOne’s alchemy ignites.
