Co-founder of jazzhane, Anıl believes that his search for melancholy in music and the perception of home (or the lack thereof) is a search for belonging: a feeling that can be fictitious. Unsurprisingly, his eclectic sets heavily feature music in the minor key. Believing that stories are told through music, Anıl blends melodramatic tunes with the Andalusian cadence, Rumba, or Cumbia, accompanied by deep basslines. Depending on the night and setting, the stories can be dark, joyful, ecstatic, or humorous, oftentimes energetic and with explosive energy.

Mara Pavic has been caring for jazzhane artists behind the scenes for many years. She played at listening bars such as Kasheme and Roxy Vinyl Cafe in Zurich. Drawing from music around the globe, she selects rare gems, preferably from the 70s. There’s an underlying bittersweet, at times nostalgic, note in her sets: melancholic tunes from the Mediterranean and, more broadly, from the Silk Road and beyond, all carefully chosen with love.
