The term "high" in the title indicates that I experience a natural sense of euphoria when playing such classy edits. 

And AI can create some pretty funny covers if one provides the right prompt.

Fröhliche Highnachten - Mix 2023

This is Chapter III. 
For this chapter, I took my time to absorb new musical influences and to blend different styles of electronic music. Despite the varying grooves and tempos, there is still a feeling that I want L.S. in Wonderland to create.. a sense of warmth and inner peace.

ROCCO VELES -  dj set @ EXO (La Guarida, Tulum)

... From one dream to another ...

Happy to share the recording of my live set from Sunday 8 am at Mystic Creatures’ Creatures Corner stage. 
This is (for the most part) the same set I’ve been performing throughout the summer, and i’m suuuuperrr excited to share it with you finally! 😻

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I feel when I get to share my music live. To move something in you is a dream come true. 🥹
Closing out the summer in that cozy corner, surrounded by dancing friends, warm smiles, and the soft morning sun, was truly magical.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the beautiful souls around me who make moments like this possible. I love you. ❤️

Laaar live 25׳ | Mystic Creatures Festival • Creatures Corner

Thank you so much @beateuwe for having me there and for giving me this very special moment in my life. It really meant a lot to me to play my first time at Beate Barfuss. And what can i say..? It was amazing and my heart is filled with beautiful memories, connections and pictures💘

Special thanks to the whole Team, to all the dancers (💘), supporters (🫰🏼) and @ditolove for the mastering 🩷

ps: unfortunately the recording was a bit too loud, sorry if you hear that in some parts:/

LEi@ Beate Barfuss / 21.09.2025

According to many indigenous cultures, one of the first things humans ever did was move to sound – creating dances from rhythms and beats. Thousands of years later, we’re still doing the same. Along the way, shamans and visionaries developed sacred rituals, carrying the connection between music, movement and spirit through time. These traditions still live on today.

This truly unique and surreal journey passionately crafted by our dear friend, producer and sound weaver @medi-zijn is a subtle reminder that every beat, every movement is part of an ancient, timeless story – a dance that has been unfolding for millennia. Let yourself move, feel and connect.

🌀 Tiefcast #1 - Malü & Kalypsoul LIVE @ Mystic Creatures 2025 🌀
_______________________________________________
Herzlich Willkommen zum ersten Tiefcast. Ab heute versorgen wir euch regelmäßig hier auf Soundcloud mit Tiefgang-Sound. Ihr könnt euch monatlich auf neue Sets von verschiedenen Künstler:innen aus der Down- und Midtempo-Szene sowie Beiträge aus unseren Reihen freuen. 
Danke an Malü & Kalypsoul für dieses verspielte Set, dass euch auf eine Reise durch die Welt der mystischen Kreaturen mitnimmt. Viel Spaß beim Anhören! ✨

Wie seid ihr dazu gekommen, elektronische Musik im Downtempo-/Midtempo-Bereich zu spielen?

Malü: Ich war auf Veranstaltungen und fasziniert davon, dass es bei diesen Sounds nicht um die härtesten Drops geht, sondern dass Spannung aufgebaut und auf gewisse Art “gehalten wird”. Besonders intensiv war dieses Erlebnis bei einem Set von Niju im Peer23. Das ist leider auch das was mir in der „Downtempo/Bounce“-Entwicklung der letzten Jahre komplett fehlt. Vielfalt, Storytelling und Spannung.
Kalypsoul: Ich komme aus der Livemusik. Während der Pandemie fiel alles weg, und ich wollte musikalisch weiter kreativ bleiben. Über die Arbeit in einem Musikhaus habe ich Malü kennengelernt. Es hat sofort Klick gemacht, und unser gemeinsames Projekt war geboren.

Gibt es einen besonderen „Downtempo-Moment“, den ihr mit uns teilen möchtet?

Malü: 
Da gibt’s unzählige! Besonders war mein erster Downtempo Gig zusammen mit Arturo beim Bummelzug in der Villa 2017 in Heidelberg. Außerdem der erste Liveauftritt mit Kalypsoul auf dem Konfusius 2022, aber auch die Gigs auf der Fusion, dem Zugvögel oder den hier veröffentlichten Gig vom Mystic, das war einfach magisch!
Kalypsoul: Ich erinnere mich an unsere erste ‘Live Probe’ unter einer Eisenbahnbrücke in Mannheim. Oder das Live-Set von Niju auf der Fusion 2025. 

Welche Gedanken und Gefühle verbindet ihr mit diesem Gig?

Malü: Ein perfekter Sonntags-Sonnenaufgang, viele grinsende Freunde im Publikum, bester Sound, null Technikstress. Kalypsoul und ich haben uns einfach nur angegrinst, uns aufs Spielen konzentriert, Sekt-Mate getrunken und den Moment gefeiert. Es hat sich danach wie der schönste Live-Gig ever angefühlt, weil alles einfach so gut funktioniert hat.

Tiefcast #1 - Malü & Kalypsoul LIVE @ Mystic Creatures 2025

"Ever newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers." (Heraklit)

Everything flows, nothing will ever remain the same and all there is, is subject to change ~~ a universal principle to which music is no exception. It's rather perhaps the most striking and sophisticated way for humans to symbolize this exact principle and to demonstrate their humble recognition thereof. ~~

Somewhere between the kick and the delay — at 00:40 hours, 108 BPM — my DJ-MacBook just froze  (I still play on those devices and I most likely always will - although... I am short before investing in some other gear to play a little bit, to be seen). 

Seven seconds of silence. Total blackout.
The crowd didn’t flinch. 
Someone laughed and shouted, “Ma che Tony!”

Next day I opened the session, found the gap, stitched the groove, dusted it clean.

Now it sounds right — tunes I truly feel.

The beauty of a simple editor cut. 

Enjoy and thanks to the wonderful crowd and - always in my heart - Kauz Zürich and crew!

Ma che Tony - Live at Kauz 2025 (Down to Earth)

“Run di funds” is Jamaican Patois for “bring the money, pay up, keep the cash flowing.” It’s the island-cool counterpart to Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money”—same message, different temperature. Where Rihanna hits hard and blunt, run di funds carries the attitude with smooth swagger: confident, unbothered, fully in control. And yes, the set includes a custom edit of “Bitch Better Have My Money”—clean, sharp, and woven in without breaking the flow. This is why!

Run di funds - mix 2025

The songs from this pop version of my album contain elements of mainstream pop
 combined with elements of alternative pop and includes acoustic, orchestral, and piano throughout. On any given song on this album there will be traditional pop type beats blended together with those elements and other synthesized sounds.  This was the hardest genre for me to get music I felt was really good and get final pop versions of songs for this first album I was confident in releasing.  Similar to the Alternative Hip Hop Version of this album that is also on here I enjoy music that is able to successfully blend many different elements in a way where they don't overshadow each other and they get their own place in songs to take over while working having it all together in the rest of the songs.  I am hoping I have been able to do that.The songs from this pop version of my album contain elements of mainstream pop
