Aïsha Devi Mazdâ

Highpitched, candycoated vocals, shimmering synth lines and heartthumping bass are stitched over images of nearnaked people wearing rubber masks, drooling at each other and munching on the carcass of a raw chicken in this completely offthewall music video for Aïsha Devis electro masterpiece Mazdâ. If the video, which was directed by Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen, feels overwhelming, then that might be because its so heavy with reference points that they all eventually bleed into one multicoloured, iconoclastic creation. With symbols such as third eyes, the shiva symbol, swastikas (a sign that was used universally before it was hijacked by the Nazis) and Sadhu ritualism, it can be hard to keep up. But that doesnt mean we dont want to. We speak to Aïsha Devi so she can tell us more.
