ABOUT:

Māh Ze Tār
Māh Ze Tār is propelled by the vision of fusing traditional eastern music with modern electronic composition as a form of cultural preservation. Each Māh Ze Tār set is uniquely dynamic- The listener can expect to hear the ancient sounds of the Sitar and Oud in one song and the timeless melodies of the Hulusi, Ney and Duduk in the next- bringing a kaleidoscope of emotions through the wide plethora of ancient sounds, mesmerizing vocals, and grooving beats. Māh Ze Tār seeks to make familiar that which seems “other” through serving the sounds of distant lands on a platter of familiar body moving bass lines and thumping grooves. Māh Ze Tār was an active performing member of Balkan Bump and has had significant musical collaborations with Desert Dwellers, David Starfire, Jef Stott, Morillo, Akriza, Nyrus and many others. Notable performances- Red Rocks, Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Shambala, Gem & Jam, Joshua Tree, Lucidity, Symbiosis, Oregon Eclipse, Burning Man, Oregon Country Fair, Haurkaze Tokyo Festival

Human Behind the Project
Maz Karandish is a Devotee of music- A well traveled vocalist & multi-instrumentalist covering grounds from Rāga, Maqām, and Dastgāh to Harmony, Jazz, and Opera. Maz feels deeply connected to the ancient musical traditions of the east that he began learning from a very young age. As an Ethnomusicologist and a practicing Psychologist, he's come to recognize that people in his generation have an easier time engaging with traditional music when it’s integrated with familiar rhythmic and sonic environments- thus forming his vision of preserving cultural music through fusion-oriented avenues. Maz devotes his musical time to exploring the possible weaving of Indian, Persian, Greek and Turkish music with modern soundscapes. He's currently most interested in the integration of Indian Dhrupad and Persian Tahrir singing with electronic composition. Maz is an active performing member of Balkan Bump, has significant musical collaborations with many electronic fusion artists.

Producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer Elias Alexander blends traditional Celtic sounds with EDM, alchemizing original and ancient material, live looping, and driving beats into journeys of belonging, connection, and celebration.Having studied bagpipes, fiddle, whistles, and guitar from a young age, Elias has found a way to weave his traditional music background into modern sounds, creating a blend that feels timeless, crossing generations while remaining deeply personal and authentic.
Since emerging onto the scene in 2022, Elias has built a loyal following of over 115K humans across Instagram and Tik Tok, with viral videos that have captured millions of views and attention around the globe, leading to international tours and 29 festival appearances in 2025.Elias’s shows feel like a mixture of ritual and pure silliness, uniting the pure joy of dance music and the communal ritual of singing and moving together, all built around his unique ability to connect with a crowd.

Mycelial
Rooted in tradition yet reaching toward the future, Mycelial is the visionary electro-acoustic project of renowned banjoist Isaac Cantor. Emerging from the lush coastal forests of the West Coast, Mycelial weaves together rootsy folk, global influences, and psychedelic textures with deep electronic rhythms, creating live performances that are equal parts ritual, dance party, and hoe-down.

With four albums and multiple singles — including collaborations with Kr3ture, Evan Fraser, Evan Hatfield, and Magdelion Moondrop — Mycelial is steadily growing a dedicated audience across both streaming platforms and live stages. Cantor’s years of touring and recording with national acts such as the Grateful Bluegrass Boys and Dusty Green Bones Band, alongside performances with icons like Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Billy Strings, and members of The String Cheese Incident, ground his sound in deep musical lineage.

Now, as Mycelial, Cantor stands poised to bridge worlds — weaving acoustic roots and futuristic soundscapes into a living web that invites listeners to move, connect, and transform.
