Mikaji’s album “1001” feels like an expedition from the Near to the Far East. And it is. A journey cast in sound, rooted in the inspiration of travels into the Levant and beyond. Diving into musical traditions from Mesopotamia, Turkey and India, Mikaji merges these influences with his signature, genre-bending production. The result is a detailed, highly crafted sonic world, where Organic House and Downtempo textures merge with ritualistic melodies, hypnotic rhythms and immersive atmospheres. The title “1001” itself acts a symbolic hinge in which numbers become a mantra pointing to cycles, myths and mirrored realities. The music feels both intimate and expansive: fragile yet memorable melodies floating out of shimmering realms, carried by a deep inner rhythm. With “1001” Mikaji isn’t just releasing an album. He’s opening a portal — and inviting the listener to step through. Released on Mikaji’s aquatic mothership and record label gaff ®.
