boy oh boy !!! you got me dancing  🌹💃 🔥 tnx 🙏 🖤

wow, das set groovet übertrieben gut! Vielen Dank für und lieben Gruß <3

- All tracks written and performed by myself  (except the collabs and some of the edits, obviously ;)) -

Woaah, that was quiet intense! Thanks for all the people who danced with me through the rain, I really enjoyed this special closing at this lovely festival! 

Thanks to @sahrabass for writing and recording the lovely intro story for the set and the outro track (which we developed together for last years @bassaramusic gig - we hope to release that soon!). 

Lots of love to @iva-bodul for beeing such a good travel buddy, helping me when preparing my set, giving me feedback and drinks, dancing, laughing and everything <3! 

Thanks to all the artists which I had the fun of collaborating with (@lask_aa, @iva-bodul, @latenightjockelsession, @seniorcitizen_wav and some more) or whose work I used for my edits!

I also want to thank all the supporters, sound/light guys & girls and the mystic crew for making this whole event happen and letting me be a part of it!Last but not least thanks to my Wild Things & Grinsekatzen-Crew for your camp and the support! :)

When we arrived on sunday, it was all (still) a summer(nights) dream on the island and I enjoyed checking out all the places (and especially the funky float I should do the closing on on monday). As the weather forecasts seem to manifest on some heavy temperature drop and rain, I was a little bit nervous how that will work out with the setting on/by the water.
When I woke up on monday I read the message that my gig was moved to the Creatures Corner - which was in fact the best thing that could happen to me (so for that - thanks to the weather gods ;)). I really love that stage, the crew who build it, the soundsystem and the whole setting <3!

Live Set @ Mystic Creatures | Creatures Corner | Closing |  2024

Our birthday may be a week behind us, but we’re not done handing out gifts just yet! 🎁

We’re thrilled to drop our first Traumcast after the summer break, and it’s a live recording by none other than our partner in crime, @mariatheresiavoneberg!

Not only does she co-host our wild Solirave at GartN with @afterhoursounds, but little does many know she’s also a passionate force in our rave scene—promoting new artists, empowering fresh talents, and sprinkling joy wherever she plays. 🔥

And without any doubt you can hear that in her sets. Playing on Sunday evening, this mix drives us between dreamy afterhour vibes and cheeky asswhooping beats. Naughty vocals followed by heavy drops, dark disco beats and funky midtempo grooves turn our living room (or work space) in a casino of strolling cats. 🐈‍⬛

Press the playbutton - on the dancefloor with MtvE nobody gets home empty hearted! 💓

Three purring questions to MtvE;

😺 What book are you currently reading, and how is it?

Wilhelm Tell (Schiller) - No, it’s not for pleasure, but the new item on the compulsory reading list I have to teach at school. The plot is confusing, the political/ historical setting of the play hard to understand. Why someone would think that this is a suitable choice for a bunch of teenagers in the 21st century, will remain a mystery to me.


😽 What is your favorite procrastination activity?

When a pile of class tests is waiting for me to be corrected, it’s definitely digging music, creating funny intros for my sets and watching Ableton tutorials. 


😼 If you could live in any fictional world from a book or movie, where would you choose to live and why?

I would be curious to know what it is like to be Tobias, the protagonist of the novel „Als wir nach den Sternen griffen“ by Theresa Herold. The story is set in the embassy of Western Germany in Prague during the summer of 1989. Tobias is a single parent who fled there with his daughter from the former East German regime (GDR), fighting for his family and other refugees to be granted asylum by the West-German BRD. I’m still fascinated with the circumstances of that time because I feel that we can learn a lot about non-violent protest against a totalitarian political system.

🎶 Madmoiselle presents „getting cosy" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 296 🎶

Die faszinierende Myrna aka Madmoiselle vom Wdlnds-Kollektiv dürfte einigen unter uns definitiv ein Name sein. Ihr Sound, der sich irgendwo zwischen Indie Dance und Disko bewegt, ist süchtig machend und sprichwörtlich eine Formel, die überall funktioniert.

Für unsere Nummer 296 hat Myrna aber etwas ganz spezielles, nämlich afterhourmässiges eingespielt. Irgendwo zwischen Leichtigkeit und Entspannung lässt sich ihre knapp einstündige Reise aus dem Bereich des verspuhlten Downtempo einordnen. Zeitlos und im Grunde klassischer Afterhour Sound den sie uns hier präsentiert. Paßt hervorragend in die wilde Vorweihnachtszeit. Und macht Lust nach mehr.

Tausend Dank für diesen tollen Mix.

+++ INTERVIEW +++

✔️ Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? Was ist dein musikalischer Hintergrund?

Musik im klassischen Sinne hat schon seit meiner Kindheit eine große Rolle gespielt. Von verschiedene Instrumenten und Musiktheorie über Kammerorchester,  Gesangsunterricht und Chor bis zum Musikabitur. 
Ich bin in Berlin aufgewachsen und ab meinem 18. Geburtstag war ich dabei die verschiedensten Festivals, Clubs und Sounds zu exploren. 

2021 durfte ich meinen ersten Gig spielen und seitdem geht meine musikalische Suche weiter - ich trenne meinen Podcast und meinen Gig-Sound :)
Daher hier etwas weihnachtlich-winterlich gemütliches <3 


✔️ Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

Gute Freunde, gute Gespräche und gute Musik. Ein schöner Ort, an dem man sich wohl fühlen kann. Ein safe space. 
Früher Sekt, jetzt alkoholfreies Bier :)


✔️ Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?

Für mich ist die Vorweihnachtszeit, geprägt von gemütlichen Lichtern, kuscheligen Decken, Chai Latte und einigen emotionalen Gedanken. 

Das vergangene Jahr reflektieren - das neue Jahr vorbereiten. Loslassen - Vorfreude auf das Neue schüren. 
Das möchte ich auch in meinem Podcast Wiederspiegeln. 

Habt euch alle lieb, passt auf euch auf und macht es euch gemütlich!

Madmoiselle presents „getting cosy" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 296

🎵 OrKatz [ at ] Fox&Badge - Studio 338 [ LIve-Special ] 🎵

Not so long ago, we were already in the mother city of breakbeat. Namely in the legendary and enchanting British city of London. But it has so much more to offer. Fancy a round of minimal, techno and house in after-hours garb? Then you've come to the right place today. The enchanting DJ OrKatz has brought us a very fine recording of the Fox&Badge event from Studio 338. Alltime favs included. I only say Nathan Fake....

If afterhour, then here.

As always, here's our interview:

~~INTERVIEW~~

✔️ What are your musical Influences?
My influences draw from a rich and diverse palette. I was originally shaped by the vibrant clubbing scene in Paris between 2004 and 2008, where techno, minimal, electro, house, and tech house defined my early experiences. Artists like Richie Hawtin, Stephan Bodzin, and Legowelt were some of my biggest inspirations during this formative time.
Today, I craft down-pitched journeys that weave together downtempo, darktempo, psy techno, minimal, house, and techno.

In my pharmacopeia of sounds, you’ll also find echoes of jazz and hip-hop influences, enriching the emotional depth and texture of my sets.

✔️ What makes a good Afterhour?
A good afterhour is a moment suspended in time, a transition between the intensity of the night and the stillness of the morning. It’s about creating a space where people can let go, connect deeply with the music, and feel truly present.

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?
This musical journey is dedicated to a special humpback whale named Sweet Girl. Recently, she offered an extraordinary encounter to Rachel Moore, who captured an incredible photograph of her eye, an image that touched thousands of hearts worldwide. Tragically, just a week later, Sweet Girl was fatally struck by a ferry. Her story inspired me to create this set as a tribute to her and all whales who’ve suffered similar fates. Through this music, I hope to share a powerful message of love and advocacy for whale protection.

✔️ Thoughts about the Set and Club:I loved every beat of my set which was a complete healing journey to me! After 4 pretty challenging weeks, I was so happy to be back in my element, sharing tunes I love and expressing myself, taking everyone, myself included, into a personal journey. Playing a 120 BPM felt also like a nice cruise tempo. The energy on the dance floor was everything! Everyone on the dancefloor was so engaged and expressive! This gave me a sense of deep connection with everybody, which is one of my favorite feelings in the world! I was very thankful for people’s energy and for showing me I’m exactly where I belong when I'm behind the decks playing music. During my set, I included some tracks that left a big impact on me such as Emerge by Fischerspooner or The Sky Was Pink (Holden Remix) by Nathan Fake. Dropping them felt like completing a circle, by giving back what those tracks gave me: this blissful feeling of oneness, infinite gratitude, of falling in love with life.

B2B is always a challenge. Especially when you live hundreds of miles apart and rarely or never see each other. Well, at least there's messaging and email. And of course the knowledge that you can rely on the other person's intuition. The rest just happened. And how... 🔥🔥🔥

🎶 Corios presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 299 🎶

Mit etwas Verspätung kommt heute unsere neuste Ausgabe von der lieben Cori, die für den ein oder anderen mit Sicherheit ein Begriff sein sollte. In der Regel eher dem deepen und bouncigen Sounds zugewandt, griff sie für unsere Ausgabe tief in die Afterhour Kiste und hat unter anderem längst vergessene Klassiker ausgegraben und zusammen mit smoothen Midtempo der Extraklasse vermischt. Herrlich. Hatten wir schon lange nicht mehr und ist genau das wonach wir suchen.

Wenn Afterhour, dann hier.
Tausend Dank für diesen einmaligen und vor allem zeitlosen Mix.

Corios presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 299

For Schleichcast °54, we’re excited to present @nugimusic – a Vienna-based DJ and producer known for his passion for blending genres and moods; and this mixtape is another proof of this talent: it is what some people might describe as ‚original‘ downtempo - a slow-paced coalescence of musical diversity taking you through moments of melancholy, playfulness and dynamic grooves. Organic and percussive elements intertwine with some live-played saxophone tunes by Catherine aka @goldkettchen (how cool is that?!). 

Nugi’s transitions are effort- and seamless, yet they sometimes feel like unlocking new levels in a game or opening up new horizons while they move you from rather solemn soundscapes to lively, uplifting moments. This set is a warm, soul-soothing experience and we couldn’t wish for anything better to fit the cozy chill vibe in this time of the year.

A big thank you to @nugimusic & @goldkettchen for this beautiful contribution – let this one take you on a ride. <3 

>>Wer bist du und woher kommst du?
Ich bin Ben, ursprünglich aus der Nähe von München, aber seit fast 8 Jahren lebe ich in Wien. 

>>Wie kamst du zum Auflegen?
2008 hat mir ein Freund seine Plattenspieler gezeigt und mir das Auflegen beigebracht. Zuerst haben wir zusammen auf Schulpartys gespielt, später ging es über Hauspartys und Geburtstagsfeiern bis in Bars. Allerdings stand für mich immer das Auflegen zuhause im Vordergrund. Anfangs war es eher eine Art musikalische Selbsttherapie für mich und gar nicht so sehr für ein Publikum gedacht.

>>Was hat dich für das Set inspiriert?
Das Set ist in einer Jurte im Garten eines abgelegenen Landhauses in der Steiermark entstanden. Umgeben von Bergen, Stille und der Wärme eines Holzofens habe ich dort über drei Wochen Musik produziert und dabei unter anderem dieses Set aufgenommen. Die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit haben mich vollkommen inspiriert. Als Catherine aus Wien vorbeikam, haben wir uns spontan ans Jammen gemacht – sie live am Saxofon, ich an den Decks. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Mix, in dem sich die Magie des Ortes widerspiegelt.

>>Welcher Moment deines Künstlerlebens hat dich nachhaltig beeinflusst?
2016/2017 war ich länger in Asien unterwegs und habe auf einer kleinen Insel in Kambodscha eine abgelegene Rave-Community entdeckt. Eigentlich wollte ich nur kurz bleiben, doch ich habe dort letztlich mehrere Monate verbracht. Schon am ersten Tag packte der Manager seinen neuen Traktor-Controller aus – denselben, den ich zuhause hatte. So bin ich sofort Teil des Teams geworden.

Die intensiven Nächte, an denen ich im Dschungel- und Strandsetting aufgelegt habe, haben mir klar gemacht, dass Musik für mich weit mehr ist als ein Hobby. Dort habe ich beschlossen, das Auflegen bewusster in mein Leben zu holen und auch öffentlich zu spielen.

>>Was ist dein Geheimtipp gegen den Kater?
Alkoholfreies Bier auf der Party trinken und dafür lieber mit Kakao durchstarten. Der schiebt ordentlich, und macht keinen Kater :)

🎵 ZAHARA [ at ] Acid Bogen - Kater Blau [ Live-Special ] 🎵

ZAHARA is probably still unknown to many of you. This should change with this recording. At least we hope so. She deserves it. Considering that she has only been performing in public for a good year, she already shows a very sophisticated understanding of moods and grooves. Definitely fun. Even with a little less bounce and bass but more melodie and smooth moments. At some point that's enough. Or is it?

<<< INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ Thoughts about the gig and the experience at Acid Bogen/Kater Blau:

Wow, that was intense and very vivid. A roller coaster ride through the human emotional world.
From the anticipation of taking the crowd on a journey, excitement, tension and pure concentration, short panic, to pure love for my the pure love for my friends who were all on the dancefloor and at my side to support me, great flow moments and becoming one with the music, the feeling of not wanting to stop.
A big heart and joy when I looked into the faces of the dancers and absorbed the energy we all created together. Overwhelmed after the performance. I needed time to process and understand that this had actually happened. I will never forget this experience and will always be grateful for this opportunity to have other people believe in me and see me.
It showed me once again how energy is transferred from me to the dance floor.

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  🌈 🎵 🪩
