Come Dance With Me Pooja B
-
- Musik
Pooja B (she/her) is an Indian artist who is now based in Berlin. Her sound was heavily influenced by the music she heard here when she first visited the city back in 2016. Her idea of techno is a skittish exploration of time and space in this Dystopian world. While futuristic, loopy, industrial sounds for dark clubs are her signature style, she can skillfully adapt to play music for outdoor spaces which still have a sprinkling of her special flavor.
She has been a resident at Analog Room a weekly underground party with a cult following in Dubai, where she was based because of her flight-attendant job. She also held residencies at Warped & Electric Days prior to this, also in Dubai.
Pooja B releases her music under the alias “ikigai”. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being". Her reason for being is to make people dance :) She also takes a firm stand against racism, sexism & environmental issues, which she expresses via her music.

Pooja B @ Celestial Festival 15/5/22
It was so much fun playing this set for the wonderful folk at the first edition of the Celestial Festival :) Unlike a usual build-up to a set, since I was handed the room with great energy, I felt that momentum needed to continue for just a little longer before I took things down the trippy rabbit hole that I love to wander....a journey I hope you enjoy as much as I did ;)
Top sets also by Coco Cobra, BB Deng & Toshiki Shimada!
A lil something about the Celestial Festival and the amazing work they did:
This festival was curated to celebrate the Asian Diasporic community by amplifying our stories and voices by platforming up-and-coming talents from our community in this event. Their goal was to highlight the diverse Asian cultures through music, sound, taste, and visuals in the celebration of the Lunar New Year.
If this year has taught us anything, it is that the Asian Diasporic community is still misunderstood, misrepresented (by the mainstream media), exotified, and marginalized. In Germany specifically, there is a lack of awareness as to how diverse Asian identities and cultures are. The Lunar New Year festival is one step in providing a space for pop music and interdisciplinary art practices to bring the Asian diaspora together, raise awareness of diverse identities, and strengthen solidarity across communities (within and outside of the Asian Diasporic identity)." -
Resistance is here and so is she!
Making this mix was an opportunity for me to feature Ukrainian artists, labels and compilations which raised money for humanitarian work. This is not an easy listening mix as it resonates strongly with current times. Some tracks are about resistance and some tap into the feeling of angst. I discovered some gems by lesser known artists and dropped some from. my fav artists. I am very excited to share this mix with all the listeners.
If you fancy, you can donate by going to my artist page on Soundcloud and clicking 'Support Pooja B/ikigai' and all funds will be matched by me and sent to humanitarian work in Ukraine for the LGBTQ and POC communities.

Hellllllo!
It's been a long time since I put something here. So here goes :)
Tried to capture the mood of an all night set into an hour taking a steady curve up with a mixbag of tunes. Hope you like it and if you do tell me what was your favourite bit.
As always turn it up and #ComeDanceWithMe -
Twisted reality
Ola :)
Recorded this set on the flight in from Paris where I was stuck unexpectedly due to a bird strike on our plane's engine and hence missed my NYE Chennai gig. The music had to be played and shared so here it is....sometimes things don't turn out quite like we plan so we need to improvise. I will make it down soon for another gig and I hope y'all had a smashing NYE anyway.
