Autumn of 2025

On the first day of September, Hekske (the little witch) woke up in a cool and damp forest. With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven. She woke up Falke (the witch apprentice) and after drinking their morning tea, they got into a flying mood and flew into the unknown. They knew they would – as always - reach their destination by simply following their inner compass.
This time they flew to the North-West and after a long flight over the North Sea, they finally saw a rugged coastline with white cliffs. And after flying for a few more hours over a variety of lush green landscapes, they finally sensed they had reached their destination at the edge of a huge forest, where an old witch was waiting for them. She introduced herself as Fiona, and after a warm welcome hug, the girls followed their guide deep into the woods until they reached a pond with a mirror-like surface. The witches slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the crystal-clear water. This place was incredibly still and quiet. The witches were just lazily floating on the surface, looking at all these shades of green around them and soaking up the serene energy.
The mood was so relaxed that the witches only got out of the water when the sun was going down. To their bewilderment they found out that their white dresses had been replaced by 3 green dresses. Intuitively, they knew which dresses belonged to each witch. Falke was immediately drawn to the short dress with the frisky spring colors, while Hekske fell instantly in love with the emerald green dress with the mysterious patterns, which was matching perfectly with her bright green eyes. The witches tried the dresses on and magically all were a perfect fit. 
Fiona (now wearing an elegant dark-green dress) led her guests to a nearby apple tree, which was bearing so many fruits that the branches were hanging down. The girls all picked a green apple, and ate it with great appetite. This was easily the best apple Hekske had ever tasted. And after eating the fruit, she felt even more connected than ever with the lush surroundings.
After this, the witches lied down on the soft moss at the foot of a giant oak tree, when they sensed an unusual presence. Falke opened her eyes and saw a green viper next to her. She knew she had nothing to fear from this snake and stretched out her hand. Soon the curious viper was slithering over her body before curling up on Falke’s belly and seemingly falling asleep. This meant that Falke was not only a dragon tamer but also a snake charmer. She spent the whole night with the beautiful snake on top of her, and the next morning she kissed goodbye to her new friend. Time had come to fly back to her home forest in Flanders and tell a lot of new stories to all the forest dwellers …

Witchtape #197 | Guest Witch : Poizon Ivy

Welcome, Creatures
To the Mystic World
A playground that never sleeps
Step through the gates, and leave your fear behind

Remember to care for each other and not go too fast
As we're all crawling creatures

Do not be afraid of what you may encounter here…
Could be the Headless Horseman, thundering in his hollow silence
Maybe some Leprechauns, slipping through the cracks of Freaky Forest
Or some Unicorns, vanishing into the camping ground
You’ll never see them on the dance floor

Did I forget to mention La Llorona? Wandering by the river

And of course… Cyclops
Haunting the front of the floor with slow, hypnotic motions
Yet too far to ever cause you harm…
Perhaps not even aware of your existence at all

So do not fear these creatures. They're all here to have a good time
Just have fun dancing in the Creatures Corner, blowing up the sunshine

Herzlichen Dank an 'Roberto Bartolini' aus Pisa, Italien

@roberto-bartolini

I'm an Italian DJ, I was born in San Benedetto del Tronto, a seaside town in the centre of the Adriatic coast. I started mixing when I was sixteen, seventeen years old with Technics sl-1200 turntables and after a short time I started working as a DJ in clubs for 4 or 5 years until I started university a little later. Now I live and work in Pisa in the Research Area as a technologist in the field of computational linguistics but the passion for mixing has always remained latent. I've been publishing my podcast series on Soundcloud for about 4 years now, typically releasing a new session on Thursday evenings every two weeks, and I'm now on my 128th episode. In my sets I mix several genres, mainly Melodic Deep House, Organic House, a little Progressive House, Electronic and also EDM & Dance trying to build a coherent whole.
