Menal Batti

Evoking the sonic tapestry of her journey, Menal Batti, formerly known as Ehrenschwesta, invites us to immerse ourselves in her transformative and multifaceted soundscape. A testament to her Swedish origins, now flourishing in the vibrant techno scene of Vienna, once an integral member of the Wiener Gerüstbau collective, and currently a resident at filtr in Brno. Her music is more than just entertainment; it’s a raw, pulsating expression of self.

Batti weaves her Kurdish heritage into her musical narrative, drawing inspiration from her father’s saz, a traditional instrument that symbolizes her cultural roots. With a profound passion for 90s techno music, she embarked on a musical expedition, cultivating a unique style that elegantly marries disparate elements of the genre into a harmonious entity. Her dynamic progression is celebrated in the energetic dance floors of local clubs such as Grelle Forelle, PRST, and Das Werk, and echoes internationally in Germany, Spain, Croatia, Georgia, and Sweden. Following her successful appearances at distinguished events such as Herrensauna, Marcel Dettmann’s Bad Manners showcase, and Unchained Blitz, Menal Batti continues to transmit her compelling rhythmic narratives with an atmospheric touch, demonstrating the evolution of her musical identity.
