In 2021 we will present the series »Unpublished Reports from Level 23«, which is based on the 2020 series »The Untold Stories of the Sinking Sea!«. The number 4 in this year and number 134 since the beginning in 2011, is a talented musician from Munich/ Germany: it's https://soundcloud.com/duygu_music .

Actually nothing surprises a captain like our https://soundcloud.com/rolandson anymore - after all these years at sea it becomes really difficult but not impossible. For example, he just has to go to a wedding, which he almost never did until last year, and to play the after-hour there on a Sunday morning. but before he starts playing it can happen that a sound comes out of the boxes, which pushes him into the sofa and makes him listen enthusiastically. This is how he got to know Duygu, because it was she who so surprisingly beautified his morning. That's how it started and a few weeks later it was clear that Rolandson would be delighted to welcome her with her story to release her mix here.

It's a story about friendship, on the other side of the world. In 2019 Duygu visited her best friend in Australia and together they drove through the area. There was only one goal on the road trip: let everything flow and enjoy the time together. And of course, music was also part of their journey for both of them and that's how the mix for today was created back then. The music from the trip together was a bit forgotten until Rolandson asked her if she would like to put together a seaside trip. So she looked for old and new tracks, remembered the time and created this musical journey. Thank you Duygu and welcome to her "Trippin Bay of Fires" Mix.

🎵 Ed Noodle B2B Mark Mywords [ at ] Bosburcht Festival (NL) [ Live-Special ] 🎵

The two masterminds created something special during the Bosbrucht Festival last year. Har har....Enjoy. Don't forget to close your eyes!

Attached as always our sweet interview:

<<<INTERVIEW>>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? 
We both come from different musical backgrounds, and only found each other when we both landed in the downtempo and - what was then called organic house - scene a couple of years ago. Mark started making techno music at quite a young age, en got his first success as a producer in that scene as well. Ed grew up as a hiphop head, was even a rapper for a few years, started going to pop/rock festivals when he was a bit older and only discovered the dance scene in his thirties. After he started dj'ing in 2020 music porduction quickly followed, and the connection with Mark lit a spark that resulted in many b2b's, a lot of joint productions and even some events.

✔️ What makes good "afterhour"?
For us the afterhours are about creating a soft landing without going to bed, because that landing takes hours and creates a vacuum between dancing and dissolving into the floor which you don't want to leave.

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set? What was your experience of the set you recorded?
This set was recorded in The Noodle Lounge, a concept we came up with for festivals to create a space where people can wind down, relax, talk, and connect with each other and the music. And yes, eat noodles. We did the first edition ever at Bosburcht festival in The Netherlands last November and right before midnight on Saturday night we started a b2b with no end time. We took it al the way into the morning, to create that soft landing we love so much. Therefore it's the perfect afterhour set for us, that starts dark and deep and brings you all the way into the light. Of course there were moments we had to search for it, but we always found our way. It was magical to do a set like that, because we could fully rely on the flow we felt in that moment, instead of being directed by a timeframe that was set for us. And the most beautiful thing was that we kept seeing people come back in front of our dj booth, it was a safe haven for people that wanted to switch from high energy raving to moving with their eyes closed for a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Thx so much for this endless ride towards nirvanna. We love it. 
If afterhour, than here.

Was raschelt denn da so feist im Feigenhain?

FRUITCAST #84 I Sia Moan I Ein Knistern geht durch's Feigenwäldchen

A groove as warm and earthy as sunlit sand,
where afro-tinged rhythms meet sizzling hi-hats
and brass lines swirl like a breeze with attitude.
Cool and confident, the mix moves slow but never still –
playful, poetic, and made to dance barefoot on kitchen tables.

Fragments of whispered desire shimmer through the air,
a sensual murmur speaking in riddles.
Then suddenly – cheeky and deep – the vibe smirks,
half-lidded and knowing.

As the journey softens,
a voice reminds us the play goes on –
and this mix?
It leaves its verse glowing gently,
like the last light of day.

Wuza Waves #107 - ɳeoƁeơ - Funkadelic Space

A warm, breathing mix from Leipzig’s Moosen — where earthy rhythms meet the pulse of something ancient and alive.
Basslines bloom like roots in fertile soil, while shimmering textures dance across the surface of still waters.
The tempo rises like sunlight through morning mist, unfolding gently, then with intention.
A sensual journey between ground and sky, where sound speaks in soft, wordless waves.

Imagine a small group of friends who have had a wild night out, arrive home still charged up for afterhours and start to relax more and more. That's exactly what awaits you today in this 63-minute journey into the realm of dreams. The mix reminds us of a long highway drive towards the sunrise. A moment of calmness and yet euphoria. Welcome to the world of Duygu.

Thanks so much for this mindfull afterhour story.

<<< INTERVIEW >>>

What makes a good afterhour?

For me, a good afterhour is all about having a fun time with close friends I feel comfortable around. Just chilling together, enjoying a delicious pho, listening to our favorite sets, and goofing around or playing Jenga. I love that feeling of being tired from the night but still buzzing enough to not want the good times together to end.

Duygu presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 304

Step into the immersive soundscape of maaje’s latest mix for BeYond – a sonic journey that invites you to move beyond the surface and into something deeper. Blending atmospheric textures with smooth, thoughtful transitions, Maaje crafts an experience that feels both expansive and deeply personal.

Each layer of sound unfolds with intention, drawing you into a space where time slows down and the mind begins to wander. It’s not just about listening – it’s about feeling, drifting, and exploring your own emotional landscape through sound.

This mix is perfect for late-night reflection, creative flow, or moments when you simply want to escape the noise of the everyday. With every beat, maaje offers a subtle invitation: to let go, tune in, and travel inward.

Enjoy.

- interview de Duygu en français -

Qu'est-ce qui t'a fait tomber amoureuse de la downtempo ?
Mon amour pour la downtempo est né à une période de profonde transformation personnelle. J’ai commencé par jouer de la deep house et de la techno mélodique, mais c’est seulement pendant le calme des années Covid — et au cœur de ma psychothérapie — que la downtempo a réellement commencé à résonner en moi. Ca correspondait à la douceur et à la connexion intérieure que je commençais à cultiver.
Puis sont venus deux moments forts, où l'étincelle de la downtempo a allumé quelque chose de profond en moi.
Le premier a eu lieu lors d’une soirée en appart. Je mixais et je jouais ma musique habituelle, donc plutôt “rapide”. Cette fois-ci, la musique me semblait beaucoup trop rapide. Alors, j’ai progressivement baissé le BPM jusqu’à arriver à 105, là c’était parfait. S’en est suivie une sorte de transe collective. Pour la première fois, j’ai ressenti une intense sensation de connexion à travers la musique lente.
Le deuxième moment clé a eu lieu dans le désert de Dubaï, pendant une fête du Nouvel An avec un petit groupe d’amis. Encore une fois, ce sentiment fort de connexion est apparu — et cette fois si fort que j’en ai pleuré. À partir de là, j’ai compris que la downtempo était mon nouveau chemin. 

Quelle émotion ou pouvoir magique de la downtempo tu explores dans ton set et pourquoi ?
Mon objectif est de permettre aux gens de se connecter au son, à eux-mêmes, et aux personnes autour d’eux. Parce que pour moi, c’est ça la downtempo : se connecter.

- interview de Duygu en anglais -

What made you fall in love with downtempo?
My love for downtempo was born during a time of deep personal transformation. While I started out playing deep house and melodic techno, it was only during the stillness of the Covid years—and in the midst of psychotherapy—that downtempo began to truly resonate with me. It matched the softness and inner connection I was beginning to cultivate.
Then I had two key moments when the downtempo spark really hit me.
The first was at a house party. I was DJing and playing my usual “faster” music. Somehow, the music felt way too fast. So I gradually lowered the BPM until I landed at 105, which felt just right. What happened next was a kind of collective trance. For the first time, I felt this intense sense of connection through slow music.
The second key moment was when I was playing in the desert in Dubai during a New Year’s Eve celebration with a small group of friends. Once again, that strong feeling of connection came up—this time so intense it moved me to tears. From that moment on, it was clear to me that downtempo would be my future path.

Which emotion or magic spell from downtempo are you exploring in this set and why?
My aim is to make people connect with the sound, themselves and with the people around them. Because for me, that’s what downtempo is about: connection.

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  🌈 🎵 🪩

Smooth and mellow downtempo and driving midtempo with no bounce, but groove
