Hirschmann Invite André Pahl (Ola Radio, Bordeaux, 24.03.2021)

Set that i was playing at this year's Camp Cosmic Festival near Gnesta in Sweden. Thanks Albion & Crew for creating this little paradise there, i had the best time !

Shoutout to my friend Sebastian who's in the mix with two tracks: the intro and somewhere later with his project "Der Räuber und der Prinz". The narrative voice is another friend from Düsseldorf, who's here with two tracks as well: the last one as "Kreidler" and one in the middle as his solo project "Tolouse Low Trax".
Also thanks to George (Black Merlin) for showing me the crazy greek track and to Cesare (Boxes of Toys) for two beauties from Japan.

Aphorismes En Reste ~ Réflexions Au Canal N°2 [Paris, 9 July 2021]

“… the limbs of the beeches, spreading out and thinning into twigs, were the capillaries, wrinkles and veins and the leaves the skin cells and creases of a giant, crushing palm. I was just a tiny bundle of proteins caught in their trap. My sorrow, my neuroses and fears were minuscule flickers of electricity.”⁣
— Out of the Woods, Luke Turner ⁣
⁣
Into the forest, where the writhing shadows of trees and miasmic sunlight filtered through branches leaves swirling, dappled patterns on the undergrowth. Woodland has long been a liminal place, historically owned and guarded by the nobility, yet also inhabited by those who were cast off from society, including vagabonds and mystics. For his show on Bar Jerusalem, André Pahl wanders down forest paths, exploring the duality of darkness and freedom harboured under the canopy.⁣

Bar Jerusalem ~ 8 March 2022

Bar Jerusalem w. André Pahl ~ 8 March 2022, Mutant Radio

One year ago today, @hannah-pezzack and me were scheduled to play at a secret open air in Berlin to celebrate Mayday. Sadly, due to polizei interference, our plans were foiled. So instead we set up shop at home, uncorked three bottles of champagne (did we? Or was it cheap Prosecco?) and played all of our most cosmically silly tracks. The result? 2 hours of Spring time psychedelic energy, very drunk transitions, mutant disco, saxophones, William Burroughs dub, and a track about pirates in a bathtub all alongside an FX called The Black Hole.

Hannah Pezzack & André Pahl Super Secret Tipsy b2b ~ 1st of May 2022 👩‍🔬🧪🧑‍🔬

Recorded 20th of April at Poetas Sónicos Nº1 »Aqua Mantras«, Arkaoda, Berlin.

𝒜𝓃 𝒾𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇𝓈𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓇𝒾𝓉𝓊𝒶𝓁 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈.

The performances of the night were dedicated to the mystery of the Ocean, its life forms and sound currents.⁣
We aim our art to be not just entertaining or beautiful, but an invitation for the human family to remember how to listen to nature and recover the timeless language between the human & non human.⁣

~

Grazie mille to my dear friend Andreina Noce (Eva Geist) for inviting me and playing the most incredible concert, and to Maria Torres for transforming Arkaoda into such a magical space. You have inspired me. And a 💋 to my favourite voice.

C∅smic Gathering 2◐22

A little set I played at the beginning of August on Radio Vilnius in Lithuania, after dancing happily for five days in a row at Braille Satellite festival. Thanks Kotryna for having me and to Douglas for the sweet video xx

Radio Vilnius ~ 1. August 2022

Halloween, an uncanny 13 years ago ~ New mixes are on the way, but in the meantime here's a fun oddity recently unearthed from a hard drive.
It was recorded 2009 in a bar called »Gulasch« that I liked a lot when I had just moved to Berlin. A dirty little beer-spilling, bolognese mouth-greasing, vodka-breathing universe.
Wanted to reach 666 minutes but got too wasted in the end with my buddy Simon Wald-Lasowski… It's got everything: Lots of hits, swish Traktor FX, hellishly tipsy mixing and shitty mp3s ~ Hope you enjoy x 👻🫠

Gulasch Halloween

Gulasch Halloween (31 Oct 2009)

Following on from a magic instalment of Braille Satellite festival which took place at Mushroom Manor, deep in the Lithuanian woods, André Pahl, Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack joined forces for a b2b2b train at Radio Vilnius. Opening with an ode to Brion Gysin by Genesis P-Orridge, this mix features all the genres closest to our hearts: cosmic clown music, gnocchi rock, weasel-inspired melodies, downtempo, gravelly monologues from middle-aged Brits, choral trance and tripped-out rhythmics.

Safari IV

Thanks to everybody involved in this beautiful weekend at Camp Cosmic in Gotland/Sweden! ♥︎

Camp Cosmic 2014

André Pahl crafts sonic odysseys. His eclectic selections conjure pitched down cosmic journeys to distant stars, descents into the depths of the ocean and lush, tropical jungles. Infectious, introspective and cinematic, his sound oscillates between psychedelic trips, experimental disco and voodoo percussions, exploring the slowed-down heartbeat of danceable music.

Originally from Düsseldorf by way of Amsterdam, Mexico City and Berlin, he’s been infused with the musical flavour of each new home base while, at the same time, retaining a palette that’s unmistakably his own. With a vast collection of rarities, including choice folk, kosmische and prog rock, André’s firmly plugged into the world of contemporary electronica.

LIO Press mix #16 ~ By André Pahl · 'Future Darkness'

After closing our recent event at 90mil for Slowfoam's album launch, André set about to capture the essence of his set and the evening into a new mix for us.

Reflecting back, it was truly special to see the coming together of such diverse social spheres and how quickly all was broken down in the atmosphere of Andre's music. At the core, his sets are a total celebration of life, an invitation to dance no matter how undanceable or mysterious the song. Music you’ve never heard becomes the music you’ve known all your life.

Across fluctuating tension and rhythm, all sorts of worlds intertwine… digi-dub morphs to acid to avant-folk in perfect harmony. But what stands out most is the pure admiration for DIY music; it’s the curation of a tender heart, finding the purest of souls in the strangest of music. 

Towards the close of this wonderful set, Laurie Anderson recalls ‘I remember where I came from, there were tropical breezes and a wide open sea, I remember my childhood, I remember being free.’ It’s a sentiment that embodies the experience of André music, an invitation to be utterly lost in the most beautiful ephemeral moment, that melancholy-tinged euphoria in the instant before it’s all over, stretched out for eternity.

Sunset at ✚✚✚ Festival ☽ Serbia, 4.7.2015

(reupload of https://soundcloud.com/deviant-planet/deviant-033-andre-pahl which is now offline)

»All the hope, the inner struggle, the repose, the sorrow - all of it is contained in the capricious disposition of the sky. It speaks to us in abstract terms each of us decipher in a personal way. This last year, more than any other, has been one of longing for better times, of staring out of the window, finding solace in the slow movement of the clouds.

Apart from a sonic storyteller of extraordinary sensitivity, André Pahl is a usual visitor of the firmament. He took yet another stroll in the wild blue and now tells us all about it in a wide kaleidoscope of human emotions.
	
This mix is a compelling testimony of those states we share with the skies: the longing melancholy of a sunrise, the embracing warmth of the twilight, the peaceful serenity of the rain, the indecipherable gloom of the fog. Lay back, look up and dive in, but be aware: feelings may arise.«

Radio Opskura ◐ Drugstore Belgrade 26.05.2018

This is my set at Camp Cosmic 2019,  8 o’ clock when the sun came up. 
I think it was one of my all time favourites — the energy of the audience dancing & smiling in front of me was super beautiful and what Camp Cosmic means to me… One love!

The set is re-recorded from my blurred memory and 45 minutes of my phone grabbing the sound — the recorder disappeared into the fog, such as the rest of the set… But I tried my best to puzzle together what i played.

Shoutouts to my talented friends who make this amazing music!
Praah, Otto, Ashinoa, Abschaum, Reymour, Fantastikoi Hxoi, and thanks Katzi for sending the last track by Shari Vari just in time ツ

André Pahl (Berlin) crafts sonic odysseys—pitched down cinematic journeys through uncharted seas, forbidden deserts and cosmic realms.

Infectious and introspective, his sound oscillates between psychedelic trips, experimental disco and ritualistic percussions, exploring the slowed-down heartbeat of danceable music.

Originally from Düsseldorf, by way of Amsterdam, Mexico City and Berlin, he has absorbed the musical flavour of each new home while maintaining a palette that is unmistakably his own.
