We welcome Aka-Tony for our seventh episode of NatureTempo.

Tony is a musical storyteller shaped by depth, not algorithms. Raised in Zurich and mentored early by his handicapped uncle - a passionate audiophile who taught him to listen long before he learned to play - Tony discovered the emotional architecture behind sound while other kids chased melodies.

What began as a quiet obsession turned into a lifelong pursuit of tension, release, and the frequencies between. As an aficionado of underground culture, aka-Tony avoids the obvious. His sets are sculpted narratives—textural, cerebral, raw—spanning dubby margins, broken rhythms, and hypnotic progressions that reward the deep listener and the relentless dancer alike.

No gimmicks, no crowd-pleasing shortcuts. Just rare grooves, long blends, and a precise sense of timing that comes only from years in the booth and countless nights immersed in sonic detail.

Playing regularly across Zurich and Berlin, and hosting two podcast series, aka-Tony is part of a quiet resistance in electronic music—where taste still matters, and curation is a form of care.

'NatureTempo' Podcast 007 - Aka-Tony

🐈 It's been quite a few weeks since we set sail at @kater_blau with all of you. But let's come back for one more ride. In between pink water, one or two dolphines and of course where @soso_klein turned Acid Bogen upside down and gave us all a great time! 💥
🌊Thanks to everyone who was there. At this special occasion she arrived from the beautiful french riviera  to our beloved Spree and took us on a special kind of afternoon swim. Groovy sounds await you on the deck, with dark disco and indie dance beats. So pick up your floaties and goggles  for one more time and dive into this wonderful set!🤿🐬

💦What does true happiness mean to you, and have you found it yet?
Wow, that's a lifelong question! :D  For me, true happiness is when you live your life aligned with your desires and values. It's an ongoing journey, as our desires are constantly evolving. But what's certain is that every time I am DJ-ing, or I listen to music I like, I'm absolutely in a state of true happiness!"

❤️What song best captures your current mood?
It's summer, so I'd say the closing track of this Kater blau set perfectly captures my current mood: it's a sunny mashup by the French electro swing band LMZG - thank you @lamuzgueul for sharing this banger! <3 

⛵If you could perform at an event anywhere in the world, which one would it be, and why?
Definitely the Sonnendeck stage at Fusion Festival. It's one of my all-time favorite stages globally, and I'd be incredibly honored to play there one day.

Dance Naked in your Kitchen || Post Garbicz Decompression by Leon Dream in Berlin || August 2025

Listen in on my Set @ Zugvøgel Festival 2025 - where I was invited to play at the wonderful “Sauna und Floora” stage on Saturday night, 1-3am. Starting off with a deep but rather groovable sound, i ended up leaning more into the very dreamy vibe of this lovely stage and mood there, featuring some more minimal/melodic and dreamy downtempo techno elements. The result being a hopefully very satisfyingly deep and slow burning journey, that keeps moving between grooviness, darkness, lightness and dreaminess. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you so much to everyone who was present, honestly it was a bliss to have so many of you listen to my set and dance and sway - i’m super grateful for all the smiling and vibing faces I saw, it means a lot to me.

Special thanks go out to Tilman (@til_mensch), Katja, and Kulturbüdchen for inviting me to their wonderful stage - thank you so much for all the hard work you put into creating this cozy space and great festival (@zugvoegelfestival <3), it’s greatly appreciated!

This is the recording of my set at Mystic Creatures Festival 2025 - Sunday night at Creatures Corner. Thank you so much for dancing with me! ❤️ 👉🏻 ‘You’re gonna lose your soul’ - I think the closing track by Omri Smadar & Jenia Tarsol sums it up perfectly: For a brief moment in space and time, we lost it together – in the best possible way * .🪐✨*🛸• Thank you! 🫶🏼

LEiSE & Raulito Wolf [at] Kiosk @ KaterBlau (26.06.2017)

Here is the recording of the set that I played at @thegardensofbabylon at ADE. I had the honour to open the floor downstairs where immediately some of my favourite Gardens of Babylon family members joined the dance and stayed until the end of my set. So grateful to have been a part of this event. There were some technical failures right at the start with a broken filter knob on the mixer but once I changed CDJs I found my flow and before I knew @nourpalestina showed up to take over. I danced a lot to her set and later my favourite Max Morel and closed with Geju. The vibes was so intimate and I had one of the best dances of my life. Thank you The Gardens of Babylon and ADE for having me!! <3

Mousikē 68 | "A New Path" by Leiurus

Witchtape #61 | Guest Wizz : Baba Sikander

(Story continued from Witchtape #60)
The little witch was enjoying a very welcome shower under the waterfall at the foot of the mountain.  She was soon shivering from the ice-cold melting water from the glaciers of Mount Hermon, soaking wet and feeling stripped to the bone while at the same time feeling purified by the crystal clear water which was slowly on its way southwards to the lowest place on planet earth… the Dead Sea.  The witch of the North was soon joined by a young teenage witch from the desert in the East and a 6000-year old witch from the Mediterranean shore on the West.  Soon they let themselves float in the water while holding each other in a tender embrace with their legs intertwining.  Despite the freezing cold water, the little witch soon warmed up by the close contact with the two other women.  Her body even started to glow as she felt the youthful energy of the desert witch enter through her skin, where it merged with the immense wisdom of the elder witch.  Soon she felt their powerful collective kundalini schingeling flow through her body, while the 3 women floated towards the middle of the river where they slowly started sinking in a slow spiraling movement, which became faster and faster while the 3 intertwined witches sank deeper and deeper into the abyss.  Yet the little witch felt perfectly at ease in the loving presence of her two sisters witch, while the spiraling movement became faster and faster.  At one point, she didn’t feel the bodies of the other witches anymore.  It was as if the three of them merged into one superbeing and the little witch felt young and old at the same time, black and white, north and south and east and west fused together into one single underwater vortex, while the girl completely lost her sense of time and space.  She had no clue how long they continued spinning around.  Maybe minutes, maybe hours, maybe weeks… until all of a sudden the spiral slowed down and the witches slowly returned back to life… back to reality…
