Max Marlon macht Theater im Mensch Meier | Mystic Creatures

Wooooow, for me this is one of my favourite sets I've played this year so far. Thanks to all the dancers and supporters who made this 2 1/2 hour ride very special to me! 
As a dj I constantly experience phases where I doubt myself or the music I'm playing. Asking myself if what I do is enough. I've learned that a lot of people are experiencing those moments of doubt and anger and I've learned to appreciate those feelings because they are my metamorphosis in this beautiful process of beeing a musician.
Coming to Halle and seeing a lot of my friends and people who supported me on my way always makes me feel grateful and happy.
So I hope you enjoy this set as much as I did while playing it! 
Much love, nΦra  

PS: because lately a lot of people came to me, telling me that it is complicated to find my profil on soundcloud -> this is how you can find me: einfachnora

_____INTERVIEW_________

✔️Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? Was ist dein musikalischer Hintergrund?
 
 Ich habe eigentlich schon immer Musik gemacht. Als Kind ging es in die musikalische Früherziehung, dann habe ich lange Trompete gespielt und in Chören gesungen. Als Jugendlicher habe ich mich dann immer mehr für elektronische Musik interessiert. Daraus ist dann mit der Zeit Herr Zinnober entstanden. Meine musikalischen Einflüsse sind unterschiedlich. Aus der Klassik habe ich etwas Theorie für's Produzieren mitnehmen können. Ich glaube aber auch, dass die Harmonien und Melodieführungen von Bands wie Die Ärzte oder den Prinzen, die ich als Kind viel gehört habe einen großen Einfluss auf meine Musik haben. Elektronisch am meisten geprägt hat mich wahrscheinlich Jonas Saalbach. Seine Herangehensweise an Produktionen hat mich sehr stark inspiriert.

✔️Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

 Ganz ehrlich, die besten Afterhours, die ich erlebt habe, haben immer draußen stattgefunden. Nach dem Feiern spontan mit Freund*innen durch die Stadt zu stromern, oder im Park die Sonne zu genießen ist für mich die perfekte Afterhour.

✔️Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?
  
Das war mein Samstag Abend auf dem Entropie Festival. Ich habe für meine Verhältnisse recht doll gespielt ("Pah, das ist doch gar nichts!", würden jetzt wahrscheinlich viele sagen). Trotzdem ist es ein typisches Herr Zinnober Set gewesen, denke ich. Hier und da ein wildes Sound-Design, Melodien zum Tagträumen und dreckige Baselines. Also so, wie ich mir einen Samstag Abend auf einem Festival vorstelle ;)

✔️Wie hast du den Gig empfunden?
 
Das Entropie Festival hat, seit ich 2019 dort gespielt habe, einen Platz in meinem Herzen. Die Menschen sind angenehm, es ist politisch und es gibt ein spannendes Programm mit verschiedenen Artists, Bands und Workshops. Ich war mit einigen Friends da, das macht mir immer besonders viel Spaß. Der Gig war dementsprechend toll!

___________________________________________________________________
Heute präsentieren wir euch eine Special-Ausgabe unserer Igelkarussell-Reihe von R3NATA. Sie ist Resident bei der Mystic Creatures Crew und hat in diesem Jahr bereits auf einigen fantastischen Venues gespielt. Als absolutes Highlight zum Abschluss der Festival-Saison stand sie auf einer einzigartigen Bühne des Sa Terza Metari Festivals auf Sardinien. Dieses kleine, aber feine Festival am Strand in West-Sardinien gibt es bereits seit einigen Jahren und bildet eine Art Berliner Exklave, die den Festival-Sommer noch um einige Wochen verlängert. Ein Traum für jeden Downtempo-Liebhaber: Gelato, Pizza und erstklassiger Sound – was könnte man sich mehr wünschen?

Festivals sind zweifellos eine der aufregendsten Entdeckungen von R3NATA, seit sie in Berlin lebt. Sie bieten die Möglichkeit, für ein paar Tage die Realität zu vergessen und sich voll und ganz in Musik, großartige Menschen und ausgelassene Stimmung zu stürzen - ein Zustand purer Glückseligkeit und Freiheit. Wahrscheinlich sind sie die beste Ausrede überhaupt, um die Welt zu erkunden, nicht nur, um die Bühne zu rocken, sondern auch, um neue Länder und Ecken unserer Welt zu entdecken. Genau das war der Fall bei Sa Terza Metari. Sie erlebte die Zeit ihres Lebens, bei ihrer zweistündigen Playtime. Das Publikum war absolut sensationell und tanzte, als gäbe es keinen Morgen. Die Stimmung war schlichtweg elektrisierend, und alle waren in diesem Moment gefangen. Alles passte einfach perfekt zusammen, besonders die Location am Strand und die geniale Dekoration des Floors (ein besonderer Gruß an den Easy Tiger Floor <3).

Freut euch also auf die Aufnahme dieses außergewöhnlichen Moments und genießt zwei Stunden voller Downtempo-Magie.

#122 ☆ Igelkarussell ☆ R3NATA @ Sa Terza Metari 2023 🪸

We probably don't need to say much about the next artist in our beloved down. cast series, as her sound speaks volumes and should be familiar to any downtempo aficionado by now.

Of course, we're talking about @frida-darko, who for years has consistently delivered fantastic and carefully curated sound.

Being a part of the @rebelliondertraumer and @station-endlos-halle crews and having launched her own label project @tipping-point-music in recent months, one can always be curious what this versatile artist has in store for us next.

We're all the more thrilled to have her now as part of our series as well and wish you all a great time with the upcoming mix.

You all got your Pumpkin Spiced Latté ready? 🎃 Perfect, than throw it away, because  this month Traumcast Nr. 43 by @matildoutz-paris is everything but cozy! 

Grumpy basslines carry you through a mesmerizing forest of quivering synthesizers inhabited by a garrulous vocoder band. Saturated by a marching troop of percussions a starstruck landscape of dancing will-o'-the-wisps enrolls in this two hour journey.✨ Let yourself dive deep into this void of manifold sound textures and be guided through the shivering pictures of your imagination.

Three queries ring through the nocturnal shades:

🌊 What is your favorite procrastination activity?
Sitting by the sea with friends and watching the tides rise and fall to the rhythm of the moon and sun.

🧸 If you could live in any fictional world from a book or movie, where would you choose to live and why?
The Ewoks' village in "Return of the Jedi". It's a place I've always dreamed of visiting, with those cosy tree houses you'd love to settle your nest. Walking through the forest, from footbridge to footbridge. Not just one tree house, but an entire village - what a dream!

☕️ What do you normally eat for breakfast and on what time?
The only routine would be a coffee. For the rest, there are no rules. It depends on the day mood.

Matildoutz - Traumcast Nr. 43

🎵 Tvísker [ at ] MYSTIC NEW YEAR - Beate Uwe [ Live - Special ] 🎵

Alena extends our live special series with a truly exquisite recording from the MYSTIC New Year event at Beate Uwe. 

++++INTERVIEW++++

✔️  What is your musical background?
It was definitely a journey for me to electronic music. In my early years, I was very influenced by my parents' music from the 60s/70s. That's where my love for psychedelic rock, soul and blues came from. As a teenager, I mainly listened to Britpop, alternative rock, indie and trip hop. Radiohead, Blur, Björk, Portishead - to name just a few. Unsurprisingly, I got into electronic music via indietronic/electronica: from Hot Chip, Caribou, The Knife to James Holden, Nicolás Jaar, Stimming and DJ Koze. I then moved to Berlin in 2010 and in the first few years I was particularly captivated by the sound at Kater (Niconé, Frivolous, Rampue, Feathered Sun) and Keinemusik. 

✔️  What is a good afterhour for you?
My perfect afterhour is a cosy heart rave. After many hours of partying and dancing, people are in a particularly exuberant, heartfelt, crazy mode. When the music skilfully picks up on this mood and brings people back to collective ecstasy, that's the best part of every rave for me. At after-hours, I'm always particularly happy to hear music that goes beyond the typical primetime sound. It can be slow, trippy, dirty, experimental or even the hit machine, the main thing is that it is positive, has a coherent flow and makes all the little ravers fall happily into each other's arms.

✔️  Thoughts about the Set:
I had a great time at this New Year's gig. The Beate is simply a cosy club with a lovely crowd. It was also a Mystic Creatures showcase, which means that many artist friends and favourite people were there. This is actually my first recording from the Beate, even though I've played there so often and we've been organising there with our collective finster/ for over 5 years. For me, the evening was a very nice start to the new year and I hope you can hear that too ❤️‍🔥.

Tvísker [ at ] MYSTIC NEW YEAR - Beate Uwe [ Live - Special ]

🎵 true Ƞɑʈure [ at ] Beate Uwe [ LIVE-SPECIAL ]🎵

The lovely Sina from the well-known BeYond collective from Berlin is travelling with us through a world full of hypnosis and groove.

++++INTERVIEW++++

✔️ What is your musical background?
For me the active electronic music game started at the beginning of 2021, one month after my first deep-felt rave experience. During a party we had in the community I lived in one of my roommates suggested I might try mixing and introduced me into playing a first track. Since then, the light got lit and the fascination for music made me go ahead. After moving to Berlin six months later and meeting my friend @zhart who also had started to play recently, the journey begun and over time I learned more about collecting and mixing sounds. Soon we got to know our love for downtempo and became part of the heart-filling BeYond collective that also influenced my taste in sound and parties. Since about one year I feel home in playing 95 BPM or slower and got to love the playful and wholesome moments  that slowraves can offer as much as the extra space that Downtempo gives to every sound.

✔️ What is a good afterhour for you?
„...after collectively spending a sweet time. especially then after several hours of dancing, fully entering into all layers of sound may feel extra natural. the time seems to get a different quality and creates a space full of easy and joy. i feel this is where a good afterhour can bring you."

✔️ Thoughts about the Set:
This mix originates from a closing set I played in Beate Uwe in Berlin - what I loved during this set was the fact that the people on the floor really seemed to let themselves go deep into the sound. It’s always beautiful when dancers hop onto the slow lane and appreciate the vibe of slow dark baselines and playful melodies. This gig also felt special because the first part was a b2b with iris anahata (released on magicians on duty) which both of us enjoyed a lot. Especially in wild times like the current ones feel to me I highly appreciate moments where some weight gets lifted from our shoulders and music takes us to the current moment.

Thanks so much Sina for beeing a part of our series.

🎵 jungspund [ at ] Sisyphos [ Live-Special ]🎵

The Berlin artist jungspund enchants us today with his velvety-soft and dreamy recording from the Sisyphos opening weekend (08.03.2024).

+++INTERVIEW+++

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I started playing guitar at an early age and grew up listening to a lot of Stones, Doors and Pink Floyd. In my youth, I got into electronic music via the album Crooks & Lovers by Mount
Kimbie album. Then it started with melancholic deep house by Kris Davis and Christian Löffler and ended up here in a roundabout way. The biggest inspirations that where I am now and what I play was probably 2016 with Sarah Kreis, Caleesi, Mira,
WIDE AWAKE and at one point in Gardelegen... Those were just great times.

✔️ What do you think makes a good afterhour?

After tired comes stupid. Laughing a lot, making nonsense and listening to/doing quiet music with your best listening to/making music with your best friends.

✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix?

To be honest, since the faster, higher, further wave, I've been feeling more and more pressure and have I've often struggled with it over the last year. In this set, I played a bit softer and and dreamier and it went down so well. It definitely gave me a lot of strength for this year.

✔️  How did you feel about the gig?

It's difficult to put into words what I felt. The day/night will definitely be remembered for a long time  Sisyphos opening weekend, Gerda's birthday in the Kaschemme, surrounded by my best friends my best friends and favourite artists, who were still tearing it up after me (@kon-faber, @pullichomba, @tvisker, @fabiankrooss, @sahrabass, @ueberhaupt_ausserdem). Never
never had my exact sound running for so long at Sisyphos. Everything was just right. A thousand thanks to Gerda! @raeubermaedchen.

🎵 Soulcat [at ] Station Endlos -  Closing Set [ Live-Special ] 🎵

[German 🇩🇪 ]

Der für uns noch unbekannte Manu aka Soulcat bereichert unsere Aufnahmenreihe heute mit einem besonders energiegeladenen Mix im Stile einer Dirty Disko direkt aus der Station Endlos in Halle. Wer noch nie dort war, sollte dies schnellstens ändern. Es lohnt sich. Und bei der Musik wie dieser hier, sowieso.

+++INTERVIEW+++

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

Früher spielte ich in diversen Bands Gitarre und Saxophon und nahm auch mal das Gesangsmikro zur Hand. Von Haus aus mag ich handgemachte Musik eigentlich weitaus mehr als Elektronisches,  bin aber über die Jahre dem Beat und den Nächten der Stadt verfallen. Ich mag es, meine aktuellen Lieblingstracks aneinander zu reihen und damit eine Atmosphäre zu kreieren und einen Spannungsbogen zu spannen. Wichtig ist und bleibt für mich die Präsenz von Melodien, Gesängen und/oder instrumentalen Samples. Jede Lebensphase hat glaube ich auch seine musikalische Phase, gerade haben es mir besonders Disko, Italo und 80s angetan. Außerdem mag ich fette Synths und Acid Sounds. Und tanzbar sollte es natürlich sein!

✔️ Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

Gute Freunde sind natürlich unersetzlich. Nicht fehlen darf nebenbei ein langer Atem, obwohl es schon wieder hell ist, das Gefühl noch ewig machen zu können, weil der ewige Beat, die schweren Beine weiter trägt und leicht fühlen lässt und den subtilen Anflug von Unvernunft und Gedanken an morgen verfliegen lässt. 

✔️ Wie hast du den Gig empfunden?

Es war schon sehr früh/oder sehr spät (wie man´s nimmt) :D Sozusagen zur besten Afterhour Zeit. Außerdem war es für mich das erste mal, dass ich ein richtiges Floor-Closing spielen dürfte. Zunächst war ich ein wenig enttäuscht, dass der Floor so spärlich besucht war, hatte dann aber das Glück, dass kurz bevor ich anfing, der Nebenfloor dicht machte und die Leute von dort herüber geströmt kamen und dieses Erlebnis für mich zu einem einzigartigen machten. Danke fürs tanzen und für den von euch bewiesenen langen Atem:)


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

Achtung: zum Ende hin wird’s fluffig!;)

Manu aka Soulcat, who is still unknown to us, enriches our recording series today with a particularly energetic mix in the style of a dirty disco straight from Station Endlos in Halle. If you've never been there, you should change that as soon as possible. It's worth it. And with music like this anyway.

Afterhour Sounds is since his begining in 2012 a crew of music lovers, music makers and music supporters. What started as an small idea developed over the years into an important institution in the field of electronic dance in and beyond germany. Our goal was and still is to enrich the world with different interpretations of the afterhour. 

In the beginning, we focused our passion 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. The crew changed, but the passion and spirit remained. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. 🌈 🎵 🪩
