Bar Shaked and Mai Yanai’s Move Me EP is sliding in just ahead of its official release next week, serving up two tracks that explore different sides of movement. “Move Me” leans into connection, while “Take It All Out” is all about shedding what holds you back. Both tracks orbit around Mai Yanai’s vocals, striking a fine balance of rhythm and melody designed to keep the vibe going.
Bar Shaked’s production draws from a deep well of influences—years spent in London’s underground scene and early exposure to African and tribal sounds. His approach is instinct-driven, keeping the door open for fresh sounds while refining a core identity that feels both familiar and forward-thinking.
Ben Böhmer’s influence looms large in Bar’s work, inspiring a blend of deep emotion and club-ready energy. There’s also an unmistakable nod to Bar’s African roots, which weave organically into his sound without feeling forced.
When it comes to finding a signature sound, Bar’s advice is refreshingly straightforward: follow your gut, take notes from a wide spectrum of music, and never force a direction. For emerging artists, his message is simple—figure out what moves you, then lean all the way in.
As for what’s next, Bar hints at more collaborations and a continued evolution of his sound—keeping fans guessing and eagerly awaiting the next move.
