Full, Uncut Interview with Fahjah

Recorded May 1st on Zoom, this is my full conversation with Kassandre Maharajh, aka Fahjah. Topics included: his musical origin story and move from trance to psytrance to speed house, rave and beyond, incorporating his diverse instrumental background (piano, drums, saxophone, clarinet, bansuri, erhu) into his many moods/modes, the emphasis on journey rather than destination, the freedom to make what he wants and home he's found at Brooklyn Fire, the support of its legendary founder Tommie Sunshine, the nostalgic and oft euphoric party vibes at the core of his recent productions (likely spurred by early influences from Eurodance thanks to his mom and older brothers), and finally, what the future holds for Fahjah, a fair amount of which you can hear in his episode of My Mixtape which premieres this Saturday, May 8th at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber. Dig in below and find his socials at the bottom. FOLLOW FAHJAH: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
