As a huge fan of @stelzenlaeufermusic, we're super excited to welcome him to the Bright Side series. We once again fell in love with another set. 

We know you'll enjoy this journey as much as we did <3

"Since my childhood i'm playing the saxophone in several projects. One day I also fell in love with electronic music....
I like it smooth, I like it slow, I like it driving and drifting. I love to spread my vibe daytime on music festivals, sharing storytelling dj sets and of course still love jammin the saxophone with soulfoul musicians.
In 2018 we founded the @Faultierdisko collective. With the @Faultierdisko podcast series on Soundcloud we support artists and spread our slothdisco vibe. Give it a listen!"

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome depaula (@depaulala)

DePaula is a visionary artist originally hailing from Hamburg and now residing in Barcelona , whose musical prowess knows no bounds. With an innate ability to navigate the diverse realms of electronic music, he crafts sonic experiences that linger in the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to bear witness.

The dance floor is his canvas, and DePaula's artistry is the brushstroke that paints vivid sonic landscapes. His sonic explorations are an invitation to experience the seamless fusion of emotions and beats, creating an immersive narrative that resonates with the very soul of the audience.

Here are a few words from the artist:

"For me it was a big deal delivering a set for this platform so I tried to tell a story that explains a bit who I am and how I arrived here. My impression is that, in terms of style, the journey moves energetically between styles and artists that made me be the DJ I am today. 

It feels like closing a circle that started some years ago, when I was used to think that having the chance of expressing myself it was complicated. So it's my way to say thank you to all the artists that let me build my way of understanding DJing and electronic music in general."

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Manucho @ NYE Afterhours - 1/1/2024

Unerwarteterweise können wir mal wieder ein Gig-Recording von uns mit euch teilen… 

Klein aber fein, an einem wunderschönen Ort, durften wir mit fantastischen anderen Künstler*innen die Gäste des Narrenmondfestes am 9. Februar bespielen. 

Wir wussten nicht was wir spielen würden, wussten nicht ob und wie der eigene und gemeinsame Flow entstehen würde - aber irgendwie floss es einfach und wir spielten, so finden wir, ein Narrenmondfest-würdiges Set, was zudem unserem eigenen Anspruch an Harmonie und Sinnhaftigkeit ausreichend entspricht um es mit euch allen hier zu teilen. 

Danke fürs spontane mastern lieber Bisu.
Merci für die liebe Einladung an eure Sause, die ihr so hingebungsvoll dekoriert habt liebe Narrrenmöndler.

Meine Aufnahme vom 3000 Grad Tourstop im Berliner Klunkerkranich.

Nach reichlichen Hin- und Her überlegen habe ich mich doch dazu entschieden, die Aufnahme zu veröffentlichen. Obwohl einige Tracks drine sind, die ich schon oft gespielt habe, ist der gesamte Vibe in den 3 1/2 Stunden einfach nur großartig - finde ich zumindest ;)

Danke für die Einladung @3000-grad <3

lockige Ostsee - 220 Minutes Of Joy @ Klunkerkranich Berlin

Es war kurz nach 10.
Die MainStage hatte gerade ihre letzten Töne von sich gegeben als sich eine kleine Menge an Leuten vor uns in der Jurte versammelte. Wir spielten schon seit etwas mehr als einer Stunde. 
Viertel nach 10 und wir stellen mit Erstaunen fest, dass niemand in dieser Jurte am reden war.
Die Augen waren geschlossen.
Barfüßig schwebten die Menschen über die Teppiche.
Kuschelnd lagen oder saßen sie im Raum verteilt.
Es war eine perfekte Landung.

Diese Nacht wird uns beiden noch sehr lange in schönster Erinnerung bleiben. 

Wir freuen uns die gefühlvollen Klänge der Entschleunigung, aus der Sonntagnacht, mit euch zu teilen und träumen uns und euch in die Jurte zurück. 
zhart seydige Grüße 💜

Dickes Danke für das feine Mastering an Hannes @greenhornmusic

❖ Narfux:
"Thankyou beloveds for a beautiful start into Sunday together. 

Some of you woke up early for this and some of you powered through the night, blending together the most perfectly flauschy sunrise. 

It was a pleasure to reset and restart with you. 

Maybe you attentive listeners even find the moment we honour the silence and Psychedelia presses play for me as I'm running to the bathroom! 

Thankyou with all my heart.
Thankyou to the artists for creating such beautiful and meaningful soundsapes for these moments"

Witchtape #34 | Guest Wizz : Vincent Gericke

(Story continued from Witchtape #35)
On a full moon day, the little witch attended the very first coven of her whole life, in the company of two elder witches.  It had been such an intense day filled with mystic ceremonies, that she didn’t notice the sun going down and the light slowly fading.  At that moment, the eldest witch showed the way to a nearby small hill.  On the top of the mound, they found 3 small rocks with a worn-out flat top surface.  The 3 women took a seat on the rocks and the young girl sensed that these rock-chairs were already being used for centuries.  They watched in silence as the sun turned red and slowly disappeared behind the horizon.  At that point the old witch pointed into the other direction, and they all watched the breathtaking spectacle of the full moon rising gloriously above the south-eastern sky, while a couple of little bats were circling swiftly above their heads.  The young girl had never seen such a beautiful moon, brighter and more yellow than she had ever seen before while the planet mars was shining brightly in the southern sky with an unusually intense red hue.  After gazing at the sky for a few minutes and being completely absorbed by this celestial spectacle, the novice looked at the 2 other witches and to her surprise they were looking at her instead of observing the moon… and they smiled tenderly.  The youngest witch became a bit shy when she noticed all this attention, while at the same time she sensed that the elder witches were thinking back at their own first night at this very spot.  After this brief intermezzo, the 3 women resumed their observation of the moon.  For a few seconds, the full moon disappeared behind a small cloud.  And just at that moment, a small glowing ball appeared, just a few centimeters across and floating in the air.  If the witches would have stretched out their arms, they would have been able to touch it.  But just at that moment, the moon appeared again in the sky and the little ball disappeared into thin air.  A few minutes later another cloud obscured the moon and the little ball appeared again, bigger than the first time and looking like an exact copy of the moon, with the same soft yellow color.  While the young witch looked at it with big eyes, the old witch stretched out her arm, with the tip of her fingers just a few inches away from the glowing little moon.  The little witch did the same and held her open hands around the glowing object without touching it.  The girl had never felt anything like that before, it was a surprisingly pleasant tingling feeling while her hands captured the subtle energy of the floating object.  The girl felt how the energy gradually became stronger and at one point the symbols on the palms of her hands (which the other witches had painted on her body earlier that day) started to glow in the same soft yellow hue as the moon itself.  And the energy kept on spreading as the symbols on her arms and shoulders started to glow too, and finally all the mystic symbols all over her body started to glow, even the ones on her feet.  Strangely, not all symbols lighted up in yellow as some of them had a faint red glow, just like the planet mars which accompanied the moon on that night…

✘ aˈɲima @animalpzg I [ɔstˈɛnd] 

Mit Trainingsjacke und Campari Spritz, sozialisierte  sich  aˈɲima musikalisch unter mittelhessischen Autobahnbrücken. Seitdem ist viel passiert. Seine Trainingsjacken-Sammlung hat sich versechsfacht, er hat das [ɔstˈɛnd] mit gegründet und dazwischen den ein oder andere Bauchnabelschnaps getrunken. Weil es sich aus Bauchnabeln am besten im Liegen trinkt, darf’s mit seinem housigen Sound auch gern mal etwas slower werden. Meistens zusammen mit Leon Leinad. Mit ihm ist er auch Teil des Wiener Être Kollektivs. Wer ihn sucht, findet aˈɲima also irgendwo zwischen Wien und Leipzig, zwischen Kaffeehaus und Ost-Romantik.  

✘ Leon Leinad @leonleinad I [ɔstˈɛnd] 

Der rythmische wabernde Bass säuselt seinen Weg durch die pulsierende Masse aus tanzenden Körpern, die - alle für sich und doch verbunden - Sprosse für Sprosse die Leiter der Extase hinaufklettern. So oder so ähnlich liest sich die typische Momentaufnahme eines Abends mit Leon Leinad an den Decks. 
Der treibende Sound des Wahlwieners wird von Downtempo geprägt, hangelt sich jedoch auch gekonnt von funky Stilelementen zu knackigen Evergreens. Eins ist dabei sicher: Kein Auge bleibt trocken, keine Hüfte steif und kein Fuß am Boden, wenn Leon Leinad zur Tanzfläche bittet.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
