| About Mazen Maskati |
There is no genre or particular style of music that is totally banned from Mazen's collection. While perfecting his skills as a dj he's learned that quality is the deciding factor, and bringing in the unexpected elements that can create a truly unique sound.
It's this kind of eclectic attitude (and of course raw talent) that has got Mazen to where he is today, one of Bahrain's up and coming djs with both a local, and international following. His style of music is a diverse mix of underground house, electro, and disco, and if you like to kick back, you will not be disappointed by his sophisticated brand of downtempo.
Mazen's musical journey started back in the 70's disco era.. It was while listening to disco, funk, and soul that his all consuming passion was ignited, and he discovered James Brown, Barry White, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Grace Jones, and Aretha Franklin, geniuses that remain his icons to this day.
With the introduction of electro in the 80's he found himself on a different vibe. Entranced by groups like Kraftwerk and Yazz, he began to expand his musical horizons. But it was in the 90s that his real trip began.
Based in the USA (Florida to be precise) he had the privilege of being friends with an elite underground party dj set, and he was able to listen, watch and learn from the masters such as Cajmere (Green Velvet), dj Derrick Carter, dj Derrick May, dj Sneak, dj Mark Farina, dj Heather, dj Garth, dj Chang, dj Jask, and dj Three.
In the spring of 99 dj Mazen became a name when he organized his first major after hours party in South Beach Miami. It was here that the boundaries of house music were exploded by the magic of dj's Sneak and Gene Farris.
Returning to Bahrain in 2000 (with a whole lot of experience and even more enthusiasm) Mazen realized the need for a serious underground movement that could keep the party people happy without infringing on the rigid restrictions imposed by the local clubs. (Ask any of the islands clubbers and youll get a gleeful response that the scene has never been quite the same.)
Aside from keeping the locals firmly on the dance floors, Mazen has shared his skills with audiences further abroad. In August 2002 he had his first gig at Europe's largest music conference and festival, the Popkomm in Cologne, Germany. Not surprisingly he gave them what they needed, and was immediately asked back to perform another gig in November 2002 and August 2003/ May 2004. In April of 2004 Mazen was booked in Russia for a 10-day tour to perform in cities like, Moscow, St Petersburg, and Izhevsk. In November 2004 Mazen set his gear to tour France; he performed a few gigs in the capital of France, Paris, and followed by a few other gigs in the South of France, Toulouse.
It's not just the highest international standards, and superb taste and flair that Mazen brings to a room that makes him an excellent choice for any dancefloor, it's once again the simple fact that there are no limits as to what he will do to create the greater musical experience.
