Deepicnic Podcast 529 – Samo Rane Tracklist
The guest in this episode is a Berlin-based artist, Samo Rane. A DJ/producer who at the end of 2015 escaped from Iran due to the strict politics and laws against parties: these are heavily forbidden. Once he found refuge in Berlin, he approached activism through music.
Samo established, in this way, the radio show, podcast series, and record label “mercyTechno”. A platform that fights for human rights and for the elimination of violence in this world.
Samo is also the resident DJ at Art Bei Ton. He played at CTM-Festival in 2019 and in some of the Berliner underground queer events and clubs with solid action like DURCH, STAUB, ://about_blank, Griessmuehle, Art Bei Ton, Suicide Circus, Acud Macht Neu, Fiese Remiese, Mikro Disko, Transmission Queer Festival, Bewegungsfreiheit, and Sea-Watch.
He also released more than 20 tracks on his own record label mercyTechno, had an EP on Burial Soil, and contributed tracks to Berlin labels like Bewegungsfreiheit. The Burial Solid EP and the track on Bewegungsfreiheit were released for solidarity actions like “refugees welcome”.
Samo is just a free soul in a human body being active for refugees, females, and LGBTQIA* rights e.g. with his recent series “We Are One” on mercyTechno.
