Echoes of Rhapsody Takeover | memesh

For the holiday special, Ceydakiss is bringing friends and family together to take over the booth. memesh opens with ambient sounds, Arabic folk and trip-hop, weaving stories of loss and hope. Nissa follows with dreamy, loungey electronics, mostly from across the Atlantic. To round it off, Melle, Berkan, and Ceydakiss deliver uplifting house grooves that’ll have you bouncing to delicate hi-hats, crisp claps, and fine basslines.

A dream of sound unfolds, where ambient waves cradle the lament of Arabic folk music, and trip-hop pulses beneath a veiled horizon. It tells of a bird, trapped in a cage of loss—of lands broken by nature’s wrath, cuts carved by neglect, and shadows left by systemic violence. Yet, through the haze, light seeps in. The bird stirs, lifted by the quiet embrace of friendship and the resonant pulse of comradeship. It rises, weightless, into an endless sky, where hope shimmers like the first dawn.
