Track 1 makes you wanna stay listening 🤤

Hi @kotoek thanks for the nice mix, can i get the track ID? Thanks!

Danke dir, war der Hammer! Und der Anfang auch gut...

Wie bringt man knapp hundert Menschen dazu, in Zeitlupe (und nackt!) zu einem Chop Suey Akustik-Cover zu moshen? Ganz einfach, man nehme: 

- 2L Eistee mit Schuss 
- 2 Mikrofone 
- 1 DJ Mixer
- 190cm Dulli 1 
- 177cm Dulli 2 

Joa. Und der Rest passiert dann von ganz alleine. 

Electric Nipples bedankt sich bei fernab für die wunderschönen gemeinsamen Stunden. Und ihr Mitmacher*innen seid sowieso die geilsten. Bis zum nächsten Mal!

Die Uhr zeigt die späten Stunden des Mittags an und drängt darauf hin, dass es Zeit wird zu servieren. Um sie herum pfeift, sprudelt und klackert es, hunderte Düfte steigen in die Luft und an ihre Nase heran. Süße, tief saftige, hauptsächlich samtige Noten einer unerschöpflichen Vielfalt von Grundzutaten, die gemeinsam ineinandergreifend den aufbrodelnden Topf zum Überkochen bringen...würden, doch die Disco Wölfin regelt die aufkochende Situation und bringt die Stimmung zurück zum Simmern. Eine kleine Pause, in der sie abschmeckt, neue Würze einstreut und rührt und rührt und rührt. Denn die Herrlichkeit köchelt in Ewigkeit, Ramen

Ein Märchenhafter Mitschnitt von der Fusion2023 (Stage: VelvetSoup)

Haensen&Gretel @ Fusion 2023 | Disco à la Carte

So let me tell you a story about this very spontaneous Fusion Set:
This year I was working at Sonnendeck and had some really funny, interesting and also stressful stageshifts with my beloved team from 3000Grad and Telekollegen. I loved it! Also because its important to me to take part in this very special festival-construct that Fusion is for me. I was a little sad, that I did not get booked (Everything else would have been a lie), because I wanted to play my new tracks so bad, especially "PoP"
Then it was Sunday morning and I got a textmessage by my friend Obi:

„Acid Pauli is playing your track right now“
Whaaaaaat?!?

Remember how I said I want this track „PoP“ to be played at fusion so bad? @acidpauli played it Sunday morning at one of the most huge stages: Palapa 😳  For real?!
Seriously this means the world to me! Especially this track #pissonpatriarchy 
it’s a hurtful fight to gain back self efficiency poured in a track ➡️ @mora_leipzig 
And the pain is turned into a huge crowd dancing!

I came to Fusion as a teenager, because I grew up in the area. I have been raving there every year since, when it took place and sometimes I even had the honour to play there myself in the last years. If someone would have told me, that my music will be played there one day by acts that I adore since decades on the hugest soundsystem, I would not have believed that. I am still crying over this.

Thank you Obi for this message! It was one of the few that came through. 
I planned to attend Acid Paulis gig, but I got caught in a good conversation with friends at the other side of the Acker. I was on my way to palapa and near dubstation when I got the message. And then I ran! While I ran, I did the math, if I can make it to palapa and still hear the rest of the track. What do you think? Did I make it?

Funfact: when @jpattersson started after Acid Pauli I got asked by @alma_linda and the Palapa Bar, if I wanted to play spontaneously there right after. Again: whaaaaaat?! I said yes, with a few Sonnendeck-stageshifts in my bones and greasy hair, not having showered since days, I ran to my tent to get my headphones and Dj-stuff (well I had it with me, you never know 😅), put on some dryshampoo, painted myself a face haha and played. And here we are: have fun with the recording of this very f*cking spontaneous Fusion Set :D
I played "PoP" myself (yeahyeahyeah!) and I also played the Remix of my track "Weiter" by @andys-echo and a track by my friends @propellar_music , because they were dancing right in front of me these sweetiebois. Later the four of us closed the firespace with "Herz an Herz" by Blümchen.... but that's another story to tell.... #ithappened

This is a very spontaneous Fusion Set - Judith van Waterkant @ Palapa Bar 2023

Crying every day of happiness is not for every festival. 

I'm over flowing happiness and warmth in my heart. 

I won't lie that was a huge challenge to open Panne eichel being so stressed with production before and not being 100% with my voice recovered, as you can hear on the first track (edit from @riyoon from Freed from desire from Gala, in an acoustic version of Prudence sang by me in a cover interpretation with a husky and childish voice lol). But hey, music is magic and the energy of this stage is so damn special. 

Thank you to our amazing @bachstelzen family for making this happen, it's an honor to be by your side. 

Fusion, dancers, musicians, dreamers, thank you for sharing this utopia with us.

And last but not least Thank you for all the people who respects our no photo (or videos) policy. Let's live the moment and make this revolution, its so relieving.

Kotoe @ Panne Eichel Opening - Fusion Festival 2023

Here it finally is, the recording of our Liveset at Fusion at the beautiful and infamous Tanzwüste stage. All tracks are produced, mixed and mastered by Kon Faber, including a collaboration with Iorie.

The moment, when the first beat dropped, was an incredible release of energy from everyone who was there. And it did not stop until the last note. Playing at Fusion, at this floor, where we were standing so many hours as dancers, is such a beautiful gift. We could not be more grateful to have experienced this as Kon Faber on stage, sharing all the sounds we created and produced in our studio in Berlin. The preparation meant a lot of sweat and tears, with the last track produced just one week before but it was definitely worth it.

Moreover, this gig was so emotional because everyone around us has shown so much appreciation and love. So many of our friends came by, our friend and studio Jazz Saxophone player, Marius joined us on stage, and @pauli-pocket, @foolik were the most considerate and supportive Stage Managers.

Thanks to Südpol for envisioning us at Tanzwüste and making this possible.

I travelled home from the fusion festival site in several trains, listening to fine music, that I've been collecting in playlists for over decades now. When listening to this, watching the landscape pass by, it sometimes feels like being in a movie and the soundtrack is kicking in and maybe a little tear ran down my face. I felt empty and full of feelings the same time and tried to capture these whole festival-experiences in this tape. Have fun with my fusion recaps from the last years ;)
From my festival diary:
We discussed the universe, we put music into colours, we were smart and dumb together, switched off our heads, talked about in what kind of a society we want to live in, on and next to the dancefloor, we danced, sang along, cuddled, kissed, cried and fighted. We did not sleep enough for sure and sometimes it gets very grey what was so colourful before, when we are not in good company anymore. The devil comes and hugs us. I try to imagine then the people, that love me, by my side <3 you know who you are ;)

The audios are taken from voice-messages from my phone obviously :) and documentaries such as:
the one, when Olli Schulz visited me on the 3000Grad Festival site:
https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/sound-of-germany/folge-3-spass-s01-e03/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS84NDRhNTMyMS0xYTcxLTQ4MDAtYThmNC1lMzU2ZDJmODFiZGU

and "Hass gegen Queer" (Triggerwarning!)
https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/dokumentation-und-reportage/hass-gegen-queer/das-erste/Y3JpZDovL2Rhc2Vyc3RlLmRlL3JlcG9ydGFnZSBfIGRva3VtZW50YXRpb24gaW0gZXJzdGVuLzIwMjMtMDctMTlfMjItNTAtTUVTWg
because this is a huge subject we need to talk about in our scene! I am not a fan of spoiling the fun, but festivals are not a safe space also. A fact that is ignored by too many guests, artists and people in charge. We need change!

After the festival I was part of a panel by "My body is not your porn" at about blank Berlin. I was so empty, but I tried my best. Thank you so much to the organizers and the awareness-crews and guests that have been there!

Some good things come to life when you least anticipate them. 

Music-wise, I have never been happier. The ability to explore diverse genres, styles, and tempos has always been a dream of me. Thank you Kater for inviting me to debut on Hopper on such a special date and time. And thank you to all of you crazy dancers setting everything on fire with your energy.

The cats want Techno - Elizen im Heinz Hopper

Booking: isabel@stilvortalent.de


Kotoe makes you want to move — think disco, feel acid, breathe tropicali. These genres and tempos reflect her beginnings playing booty-body shake with VoodooHop to where she is right now: at the centre of the European dance riot with its clubs of deep beats, mood-encrusted vibes, and nooks and crannies where you can play with anything from lovers to politics between moments inside the music. In this world, Kotoe forged a career of being unafraid to challenge what many came to expect from the Berlin club scene, making her synonymous with dancers looking for more surprise, more genre-bending, and more movement. The latter comes especially naturally for this Japanese Brazilian gypsy: From the Machi's of Tokyo, the Rua's of Rio, and the Strasse's of Berlin, you can hear her footsteps carved into her sound — blooming with life, stories, and emotion.
