Viljandi, Estonia
Because of her deep understanding of traditional music, Maris Pihlap has a good sense of what it really takes to make someone dance. Dance as themselves, for themselves, as a form of therapy even. Combining grounded nordic beats and tropical melodies from the south, she untangles the listeners senses and reconnects them in a way, where the body, mind, and ones true self become one. As Maris is not one to limit herself with genres, her sets contain everything from Somalian archive recordings to the freshest metropolitan funk and techno beats.
