Am heutigen Muttertag haut Taner einen „Woman’s World“-Mix mit DJ ÖZ raus.
For this episode, I’m joined by my friend Özlem, and from the very first moment we met in person, I knew this session would carry a different kind of energy. Not only because of her great taste in music, but because of who she is as a person.
Özlem is a teacher by day, but that’s only one part of her story. She is also a DJ, an activist, and a highly creative soul. If you’re not already following her, make sure to check out her Instagram. Her photography and visual style are just as unique as her music selection.
Musically, we connect on many levels. We share a deep love for similar artists and sounds, and you can really feel that throughout this set.
We called this session “Woman’s World” because Özlem is deeply committed to supporting people with migrant backgrounds in Germany, and especially to advocating for women’s rights. Releasing this on Mother’s Day felt like the perfect moment.
What makes her stand out to me is that her actions truly match her words. Over the past years, I’ve met people who present themselves very strongly through a moral or activist lens, but where there can sometimes be a gap between what is said publicly and how things are actually lived in everyday life. With Özlem, I don’t feel that disconnect. There is a strong sense of consistency and honesty in how she moves through the world, and that is something I deeply respect.
After a short exchange with Özlem, we quickly landed on one of our favorite dishes: Manti. So I decided to cook Manti pasta for us during the episode, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. We really enjoyed it.
Before we even started recording, we spent over an hour just talking, laughing, and simply enjoying the moment. That energy really set the tone for everything that followed, and I hope you can feel it throughout this session.
Let us know in the comments where you’re watching from and how this set made you feel.
Enjoy the journey.
