Artist spotlight: Evita Manji
@evitamanji
A few of our favorite songs from Evita Manji's repertoire. She will be performing an intimate live set at La Boule Noire, Paris, on Saturday March 21st. Highly recommended for those who are fond of fluid melodies and mutant pop tones.
Greek musician, singer, songwriter and multimedia artist Evita Manji is connecting the dots between the human
experience, the climate crisis, quantum physics and death, in an attempt to dig deeper into the primordial truth of
existence. Through her carefully constructed practice of synthesis and sound design, she fabricates musical worlds
consisting of ever-expanding sonic organisms and shapeless solid non-materials.

12月07日 EXIT SHANGHAI
「 Strangers to the world 」
Lineup:
SKY AUTO (dlirt!,CN) @eefmujd
KERNEL CONCURENTCY (Illegal Tapes,FR) @stev.mzn
RXDAZN (Illegal Tapes,FR) @illegal.tapes
Mithril(NYC/LA) @mithril__id.447
Scarlett(TW) @gobyk_
This party is honored to feature Illegal Tapes—a group hailing from France—and Mithril, who splits time between California and New York but resides in Tokyo, making their debut performance together at EXIT SHANGHAI.
Closing out the event will be Scarlett, a Taiwan-based artist skilled at crafting rhythmic, texturally unique, and catchy melodies. Kicking off the night will be the mysterious and low-key DJ “SKY AUTO,”a fixture in Shanghai’s club scene for nearly a decade, known for weaving mirage-like, experimental soundscapes of noisy atmospheres.
They attempt to “seek”an indistinct, non-existent place. We all meet here by chance, yet somehow feel like we don’t belong—longing to find where we came from, though we’re not sure where “it”is. We are all “strangers in the world”to one another.
Together, they will construct a night of layered intensities, shifting rhythms, and uncompromising musical experiment.
