On a beautiful but cold April day, Hekske (the little witch) did her usual inspection round of the forest in the company of Falke (the 9-year old witch apprentice). She was very happy that the dark energy (which was present in one small section of the forest) had completely dissolved since a group of badgers settled in the middle of that area 3,5 years ago. She really loved these lively animals, who never seemed to get tired of their endless digging of tunnels and chambers and keeping their den (or sett) clean and tidy. And the girl was really reassured as the tiny oak tree (which she planted 4 years earlier and was destined to live for 1000 years and become a mother tree in a distant future) was growing safely right in the middle of the badger’s sett.  And the ever friendly and ebullient badgers had even dug a pond for Lalita, the nymph who had come all the way from South-East Asia to fulfil her life-long mission to protect this little tree.
When the witches approached the badgers’ territory, they were welcomed by Lalita while the guard badger saluted them and blew his whistle - which was the sign for all his clan members to converge around the girls. The elder badger took the word and explained that they had done a complete overhaul of their sett and that the witches may be interested in the result.  Traditionally, digging tunnels has always been a task of the male badgers, but – after drawing a yantra around the little tree last week – the female badgers sensed that something was missing.  The network of tunnels looked like an impenetrable fortress, but there was a deeper spiritual dimension lacking.  So the females started to dig spontaneously, just following their intuition.  And now we’re inviting you to come and have a look…
The girls were very excited to go inside the badger’s den, which is a very rare honor.  Hekske uttered a reduction spell, so that the 3 girls were small enough to enter the realm of the badgers.  Actually, Falke had even never been inside the sett and was very eager to have a look.  Along the way, Hekske lit up countless floating sparks, creating a spellbinding atmosphere in the dark tunnels.  After a while, they arrived at a junction.  When looking into the newly dug tunnel, they saw pink roots hanging down from the ceiling.  These were the roots of the future mother tree.  The witches were amazed to see how far the roots extended, up to 30 meters away from the little oak tree, which is still only 3 feet tall.  The youngest female badger explained that they had dug 11 concentric circles.  Hekske immediately remembered that the forest animals had arranged themselves automatically in 11 concentric circles, when she planted the little oak tree 4 years ago (see Witchtape #22).  And when the witches walked through these concentric tunnels, the pink roots lighted up and started to emit a heartbeat… the beating heart of the forest…

I'm excited to share with you a part of the set I played at Le Grande SaSoMo Bar25 weekend earlier this June.
It was a Monday afternoon at the legendary Hopper floor, I can safely say that this 5 hours - sweaty - journey felt like magic as always at Kater Blau. What a weekend, anchored in my memory as one of my highlights of this year ✨💕

Le Grande SaSoMo Bar25_Hopper Floor_Kater Blau (Jun.2022, Berlin)

The days are getting shorter and darker and slowly the pace of life is shifting. Just like the leaves of the trees we let go of summer. @soso-klein captured the change of the season from sparkling summer to tranquil fall beautifully in her Mbuki Mvuki Mix. Just like autumn: dark - but with colorful tones.

For Soso Klein, music is a medium of communication as strong as - or even greater than - speaking. The very first DJ-set she played was for her little sister who was in hospital. Soso Klein couldn’t visit her and her sister couldn’t use her phone. Soso Klein could only ‘contact’ her by making music. Feeling this power of music she realized that mixing would become a fundamental practice for her.  

For the love of downtempo music, Soso Klein passionately left her hometown in France to move to Berlin. In the rich downtempo scene she settled down and you can find her playing in numerous clubs and events there. Make sure to find out what she has to say on the dance floor if you are there! Luckily for us, we are able to listen to this beautiful mbuki mvuki story wherever on earth we are. Sit back, take it slow and enjoy!

Mbuki Mvuki Mix #18 with Soso Klein

Tony loves listening to cheesy, beautiful tracks that get him feeling all the feels. Whenever he hears such fantastic tunes, he can't help but start swaying and moving to the beat, like he's dancing through a field of delicious strawberries - at least in his mind! Enjoy this summer mix of quality tunes, little gems, and sweet temptations.

Para aquellas composiciones que se interpretan en tiempo musical moderado, AKUMANDRA surge como espacio de proyección sonora donde los creativos reproducen y difunden sus proyectos para el publico ávido de captación de conceptos vanguardistas que recrean el oído y el animo desde la perspectiva de una posición observadora que se abre en una tienda de resultados originales en la creación musical.

For compositions that are interpreted in moderate musical time, AKUMANDRA surfaces as a projection space for sound in which the artists reproduce and diffuse their projects to a public hungry for the reception of vanguardist concepts. Concepts that recreate hearing and mood from a perspective of a positioned observation opened unto an amalgam of original results in musical creation.
