Five years ago I started to occasionally record birthday sets for my friends - when I found the time and a suitable selection. I never did one for myself though. And this set was not even recorded to become a birthday set, especially not mine. It was recorded in a very spontaneous session in my room in Lisbon where I escaped Berlin winter this year - now, a few months later, being back in Lisbon on my way to celebrate my birthday on the Giegling floor at Waking Life with me, myself & music I listened to it again and it just felt right. It cherishes the sound that opens my heart: the deep, comforting, warm one, enriched with some playful elements and a gentle drive that never rushes. So I decided to make it my very first birthday set to myself <3 Enjoy! (Two days early as I won’t be on the phone on my birthday - what a gift)

FRYSCH, like the German word ‚frisch‘, means for us that very special feeling of a sudden tingling sensation on the skin. That feeling when you let homemade pasta with olive oil and fresh garlic dance through the pan and add a few slices of sun-ripe lemons to top it off. When you let the sun kiss your body for hours and then dive headfirst into a cold lake with the waves flowing around your skin. It’s that cool breeze that crawls under the fabric and gently caresses your skin on a hot summer’s day. A sound like rattling hi-hats that make something deep inside you dance.

His deep-rooted passion for music was ignited during his teenage years, influenced by the early 90s rock and grunge era but also by the timeless nuances of jazz, a realm of perpetual exploration and eclecticism.
During the late 90s, living in Montreal, shado immersed himself in the trip-hop genre, embracing its profound, downtempo grooves and developed a passion for electronic music in renowned clubs like Stereo and Sauna. Underworld, with their progressive, ambient, and layered compositions were one the the most significant inspiration for shado.
shado’s performances are transformative, transporting audiences on a journey from dark places in each one of us to cosmic luminescence. His sonic palette encompasses a wide spectrum, ranging from ethereal and ambient soundscapes to grittier, sharp porn disco sounds. Every performance is a collective voyage, crafted by and for the crowd.
