Dubstation: Fusion. 
What a dream that was. 

Without all of you to witness, to support, to love and to weave this into fruition it just would feel so empty and wouldn’t be happening. 

My thanks go beyond a list of people, it would be endless. So I try to wrap it into a Thankyou to each of you that I got to experience this in this lifetime. 

I’m humbled and in awe of your Love and support. 

I’m so grateful for your trust and your willingness to witness, create and share space together. 

Thankyou dubstation crew for your softness and openness, you helped shed away any anxieties that were washing over me! 

Here’s for the lovers of the slow 
🦊

Thankyou Fabian for the artwork

🎶 Slægi presents "kun slægers"  Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 288 🎶

The Norwegian DJ  Slægi enriches us today with a recording that truly deserves the name Afterhour Sounds. Immerse yourself in the world of ketaesque music. A very special journey into the darkest corners of your mind awaits you. Let yourself be hypnotised and dive into another world of calmness and peace. Great musical cinema to feel good and calm down. 

A thousand thanks to Elrik for this unique set.
If afterhour, then here. 🌜 🎶

Enclosed, of course, is our short interview:

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

For over a decade, afterhour music has been a big influence in my dj-mixes. Mostly because it is a place where tired still happy dancers keep the groove for the love of music, but also because it leaves space, where listeners can relax and dance at the same time..a healing combination. 

i collect tunes, listen to birds, dj many places, meet people, record frequencies, tend the garden, design sounds and am still learning.

✔️What makes good "afterhour"?

"On a misty morning in the dreams from the after..harmonies, rhythms and stories steams beautifully in the field. this is where the soul closes its eyes, and starts to  stomp in the dust of sun rays..this will pierce the forest with tomorrow"

✔️Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

I have given the title "kun slægers" in honor of the inspirational artists i am mixing in this set. I thank them for the contribution and the important work they are doing.
description: "slægers" can be translated to "slagers" which means a hit in musical terms..in norway. Probably in german too..i don't know! 
Anyway, this set is a straight up "only hits" from my present afterhour-catalogue. 

hope you enjoy!

Marliblue & Sofyah's journey from friends to DJ partners began on the dance floors of Berlin, where their shared passion for music quickly became apparent. What started as a hidden connection soon flourished into a dynamic duo, that goes beyond the typical b2b.

On Behind LOKD Doors 38, they seamlessly blend dreamy patterns with elements of driving dub techno and minimal house, creating a dynamic, colorful journey. If that doesn't sound like LOKD to you, we don’t know what does!

Melancholie für Nackideis

Kennst du das Gefühl, wenn du im Traum bist? Der Regen fällt sanft, und langsam bricht die Sonne durch, taucht alles in warmes Licht. Menschen kommen, baden, tanzen, verweilen – auf unserer Spielwiese, der Freikörperküste, fernab von allem. Weißt du noch damals, als Zeit noch real war? Hier scheint sie stillzustehen, als gäbe es nichts außer diesem Moment.

Ich muss gar nichts, denke ich, während die Sonne heiß auf der Haut brennt und das Wasser kühl und erfrischend ist. Ich stoße an mit ’ner Pulle Sekt, während Stimmen und Klänge sich verweben, die Luft vibriert und alles bunt und leicht wirkt. Sun Sun Fun schwebt über dem Diner, ein leiser Gruß an die Freiheit.

Ein Strandbadgefühl durchzieht den Raum, Melancholie und Freude gehen Hand in Hand. Fernab von allem – und doch ganz bei uns.

Thank you to the team for having me & to the warmth of the people on the dance floor.

with love.

A set as soothing as a warm embrace, intertwining contemplation and lighthearted ease, embodying the power of music to make you feel at home - wherever you are: this is Schleichcast °56 by @aaandscha!

Recorded in a small village in Bulgaria, this mixtape carries the coziness of a fireplace after a winter walk in crisp, clear air - a feeling of belonging. It’s a journey through the beauty of playful minimalism with steady basslines and sharp hi-hats allowing delicate melodies and soft vocals to shine in contrast. Hypnotic patterns provide consistency and gentle shift become moments of wonder. 

Moving somewhere between dreamy-dubby house and all kinds of soul-feeding electronica, the mix feels both thoughtful and airy, yet always keeping the groove. With smooth and patient transitions, it subtly guides your thoughts, creating a space of comfort and introspection.

Dear aaandscha, you never fail to amaze us with your sonic stories and we are delighted to have you join our series! <3 

Q&A

>>Wer bist du und woher kommst du?
Ich bin aaandscha – Designerin & DJ aus Berlin mit Kölner Wurzeln – und schwer verliebt in Musik.

>>Wie kamst du zum Auflegen?
Der Zugang kam über meinen Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis (nach wie vor ein sehr wichtiger Teil meiner Entwicklung, shout out an euch, ihr wisst wer ihr seid) und durch das viel selbst dazu tanzen. 2019 habe ich mir dann selbst einen Controller zum Geburtstag geschenkt und angefangen, Sets aufzunehmen. Damit habe ich mich bei einem Open Call für FLINTA-Newcomer-Artists im Beate Uwe beworben und hatte meinen ersten Gig dort zum Internationalen Frauentag 2020.

>>Was hat dich für das Set inspiriert?
Ich habe das Set in einem kleinen Ort in Bulgarien aufgenommen, mit der Wärme des Kamins nach einem Spaziergang durch die Wintersonne und die kalte, klare Luft – inspiriert durch das Gefühl, sich woanders zuhause zu fühlen durch die Menschen um mich herum. Das Gleiche schafft Musik für mich: Ein Gefühl von Zuhause, egal, wo ich gerade bin.

>>Möchtest du auf etwas aufmerksam machen, das dich beschäftigt? (innerhalb der Szene)
Ich freue mich immer sehr, wenn DJs Tracklists ihrer Sets veröffentlichen und damit die Produzent:innen wertschätzen und supporten, die unsere kreative Arbeit mit Musik überhaupt erst möglich machen. Und ich weiß es immer sehr zu schätzen, wenn die Übergabe zwischen den Slots sensibel, respektvoll und wertschätzend passiert. Kleine Gesten machen hier einen großen Unterschied. 

>>Welche Ziele als Künstler:in willst du noch erreichen?
Ich möchte gerne irgendwann einen selbstproduzierten Track spielen und die Gelegenheit bekommen auf meinen Lieblings-Festivals zu spielen.

>>Was gefällt dir besonders an "langsamer" Musik?
Ich mag es, mir Zeit zu lassen, alles wahrzunehmen, was die Produzent:innen sich überlegt haben für die musikalische Reise, auf die sie mich mitnehmen. Und ich liebe sanfte transitions - die fallen mir persönlich leichter wenn ich mehr Zeit dafür habe.

For the Fullness of Being in All Moments #2

Since her mixtapes 'Heavy Heart Affairs' touched me very deeply, there was no way around inviting @elizentheemperor for a cozy Monday morning at cashmere to co-create a special episode that will make you feel lighter even when your heart is heavy. While @elizentheemperor mostly developed the soundscapes on this one, I created poetry that matches some of the tracks hidden within the tape. Take some deep breaths with us, explore your deep space garden, a poem dedicated to the U-Bahn station Birkenstraße in Moabit & what it means to be a lover.

The sunrise serenades I am hosting are driven by the idea of curating mixtapes that express a deep gratitude for musical compositions that hit a soft spot & open up the possibility of being intimate with oneself through writing. This show experiments with sonic & poetic revelations. Inspired & guided by the tracklist, it will tell a different story each time. Explore the attempt to preserve a moment, your dream from last night, a feeling or the color in the sky at dawn through ambient soundscapes & their occasional interconnection with poetry or prose. Get cozy & listen closely.

Sunrise Serenade w/ Jini & ELIZEN THE EMPEROR

Instrumental 120bpm beats with nice ambient sounds in the background, some mallets, some chorals. Of course, the drums and hihats should not be missing.
The main theme plays a scratchy, scrubbing scratching element together with cheerful synth elements. A voluminous bassline leads through the whole piece.

have fun listening to Awakening :-)

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  🌈 🎵 🪩
