☀️ Habikat [ at ] Kompaz Festival [ Live-Special ] ☀️

A new member has arrived at the charming Afterhour and is treating us today with his deep and hypnotic downtempo sound of the very highest quality. Immerse yourself and enjoy a top-class warm-up from the Kompaz Festival.

<<>>

✔️ What is your musical background?

My first important contact with electronic music came with my dear friend Dennis (Ganji) who carried niche Downtempo genres into my Munich suburban bourgeoisie environment when I was a teenager.

However, the main influence for my DJ project were - believe it or not - intense sonic confrontations with Full-On Psytrance in 2022. Luckily, once I had my first controller Downtempo and Tech genres took over my library published by labels like down., Talpa Rec. and Crépite and produced/mixed by artists such as Riyoon, Frida Darko, Reyneke, Temple Tears, Antaares, Matildoutz, LENI and - of course - Ganji.

 

✔️ In your opinion, what makes a good afterhour?

Self-confident but mellow and conscious people. No phones, a deep gripping yet suave sound. Eye contact that gets replied with a smile, a caring question or a friendly chat.

 

✔️ How did you feel about the gig?

When Benja from Kompáz asked me to open the event, I did not know what to expect and started planning from creative scratch. Though not many people arrived this early at the Salon floor and  personally I was very troubled beforehand, the time behind the decks was my perfect start for a deeply touching and wholesome weekend.

Habikat [ at ] Kompaz Festival [ Live-Special ]

House set I played at beautiful Summer Contrast Paradiso Stage.

Summer Contrast 2025

Playing at Garbicz was a big dream I've had since my the first time I attended it back in 2019. So there was so much fiery yet patient passion in me lounging to be expressed in this debut set. At the same time, I have felt the collective burden SO much given all the unacceptable atrocities going on in many places in the world...

A lesson my therapist has helped me to navigate it: the price we pay for suppressing a certain emotion is that we end up suppressing ALL of our emotions.

Let that sink in for a moment...

The joy I felt was not "despite" everything happening in the world, but rather In Acknowledgement and Recognition of it, with all the emotions it evokes. It was the only way I found to honor the blessing of living this dream authentically. That’s why this became one of my most powerful sets.

Nina Simone once said: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” And this set truly did! It was a proper blast with many of my favorite tracks AND, at the same time, a prayer filled with powerful messages and (indigenous) wisdom to guide us through the times we are living.

Thank you to Garbicz for having me, especially to @lichtung_garbicz and to everything it Stands for. Also big gratitude to every friend and dancer who waited through delays, woke up early, or stepped out of their tents to join me at @alisteebar. Your fiery energy is woven into the recording 🔥 And to those who shed tears during or after — I feel you. I cried twice while preparing this set myself.

May it uplift us to meet the responsibility that comes with privileges. May it remind us of the power of our daily choices. May it spark peace, unity, and positive change in a fractured world. Because we are truly strong only when we stand together! And I deeply believe in the connective Power of Music to help us get there 🫶🏼

Here comes a selection of tracks from my gig on Saturday at our beloved Mystic Creatures Festival. This year carried a truly mystical atmoisphere with golden sunsets melting into rainy soundscapes, nebulous mornings and sunny island dreams. Thank you to everyone who joined me on the dancefloor and made these moments alive.

Hej people,
here is the set that I played at Kater at the wonderful liminal Event on September 26th in 2025. It's hard to play fluffy downtempo these days and because I didnt feel like playing filthy downtempo I dug deep into the fluffy deep house sound of the 2010s. 27 of these 40 tunes are released before 2015, most around 2010/2011. I hope you like this fluffy driving ride <3
if you want to know any IDs, feel free to ask in the comments :)

Tagmond returns to his roots at Ton liebt Klang with his latest release, Drei. This melodic tech monster is a dancefloor destroyer, packed with euphoric synth lines and a pounding rhythm section. The release also features a massive remix from Masella, whose version is a powerful take on the original track. Drei is a must-have for any DJ looking to set the mood and get the crowd moving.

Have you ever wondered how many subgenres there have been in our scene since 2010? 5, 10 or 20? Do you remember when there were no pure downtempo productions? It felt like an eternity looking for downpitchable songs that also fitted together stylistically, didn't it? ...
I'm a real fan of so many different subgenres of electronic music – I could listen to them all day! And every now and then, I like to mix things up and try something new. At the end, I am thrilled to say that I understand and feel 'arkadiusz' more as a music project! Especially during podcast collaborations I try something new and special. 

As a performing club DJ I am focused on two amazing directions: Slow and fast, or as I like to say: Hypnodream and Hypnodance!

🐌 = slow (80-115 BPM) = Hypnodream - hypnotic & melancholic & deep downtempo
🚀 = fast (115-125 BPM) = Hypnodance - cool bouncetempo meets disco & techhouse

Discover and enjoy.
