This tale begins with such an introduction as that is exactly what Hannah did and here she is presenting a rather special edition of the 'Monday Is Okay' mix for us. As a dj, producer and writer she draws upon a wealth of musical influences and tends to channel her sound through the murky abyss of IDM, Wave, Cosmic, Psychedelic, EBM, Industrial, Field Recordings and more. She hosts a monthly show on the Lyon based radio station LYL and works as the founder of Femdex which is described as a "proactive venture to support diversity and female identified artists in the electronic music scene."

Her sound is broad and beautiful, a world away from the norm and a lovely introduction to the week.

Please introduce yourself… Who are you, where are you and what are you?

My name is Hannah, I make music under the moniker Minou Oram.I am a trained psychologist and currently based in my birthtown at the Lake of Constance as I just returned from an one year journey through South East Asia, Australia and North Africa. Before that, I was living in Vienna and will soon move to Berlin. I am the founder of femdex, a proactive venture to highlight female identifying artists in electronic music and host of the monthly radio show SVVENIR for LYL radio. Also, I like to collect stones, record noises with my field recorder, have hikes and stroke cats.
