Growing up in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, I’ve been accompanied by the sounds and spirit of the @3000-grad Festival - and the label behind it - since my youth. This year, I had the special honor of opening the Schatzinselfloor - and with it, the festival itself. 
Thanks to an invitation from the wonderful @Meeresrausch Festival crew & @Meeronautenmusik, this moment became even more special, connecting two kindred musical worlds.

The set flows between Chill House, Deep House, and Downtempo, woven with diverse drum grooves and warm dub elements.
Sometimes driving, sometimes gentle, always carrying a feeling of openness and a hint of sea breeze.

Skydrips *Live @ 3000 Grad Festival 3025 - Schatzinsel

One of the key concepts of our camp is providing a space for downtempo music (think below 116 BPM).

Downtempo is a broad sub-genre of electronic music and generally features an atmospheric sound and slower beats than what is typically found in dance music.

This doesn't mean music with no bass, beat or energy - expect tracks you will love for their soul, groove and sexiness.

🍃 Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308 🍃

[ GER] 
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause in unserer Podcastreihe begrüßen wir heute Xia Ke aus Shanghai. Der sympathische Producer, DJ und Labelbetreiber mit dem Hang zu organischen Klängen im deepen Downtempogewand ist uns bereits vor einiger Zeit aufgefallen. Seine Mixe bestechen durch eine große Dichte an Atmosphäre, welche durch überwiegend cineastische Übergänge erzeugt wird. Quasi ein Sound der auch gut zu unserer Reihe passt. Ein wenig angepasst hat er diesen aber trotzdem. aber hört selber und findet den Unterschied. 

Tausend Dand Xia für diese feine Reise ins Dickicht der organischen Afterhour. 

<<-->>

[ ENG ]
After a slightly longer break in our podcast series, we welcome Xia Ke from Shanghai today. We noticed this likeable producer, DJ, and label owner with a penchant for organic sounds in deep downtempo guise some time ago. His mixes captivate with their dense atmosphere, which is created predominantly by cinematic transitions. It's a sound that fits well with our series. He has adapted it a little, though. But listen for yourself and see if you can spot the difference. 

A thousand thanks to Xia for this fine journey.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<


✘ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?
Post Punk/Noise Rock/Alternative Rock/Shoegaze ➡️ Ambient Techno ➡️ Melodic & MInimal Techno/Melodic & Organic House ➡️ Downtempo

✘ What makes good "afterhour"?
Chill, moody, slightly danceable and meditateable. 

✘ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?
It's a set prepared for our upcoming label tour. I want to illustrate a more moody downtempo soundscape to the Chinese local audiences. There are also some great productions from my label Autumn Equinox.

Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome ELIXIR (@schaklelixir)

Recorded live at the Mystic Creatures Festival in Poland on September 7th, 2025, this set captures a magical moment in time—the closing sunrise of an unforgettable festival season. After a stormy Saturday, the skies opened as the first rays of light broke through, blessing ELIXIR’s final festival performance of the year with warmth and radiance. It was a moment of synchronicity—music, nature, and community merging into one.

ELIXIR is more than a name—it’s a potion. A mixture of (E)lisa & Lexy, equal parts intoxicating and enchanting. Their sound blends the allure of dark indie dance with the pulse of nasty melodic house, infused with sultry vocals and drops that hit with undeniable force.

Since coming together five years ago, the duo has honed their alchemy on international stages, from German clubs such as the legendary Kater Blau to renowned festivals including Fusion and Bucht der Träumer*. With roots behind the decks dating back to 2014 and 2018 respectively, ELIXIR continues to brew a sound that is both dangerous and irresistible—poisonous but delicious.

Their Journey Series recording from Mystic Creatures Festival is not just a set—it’s a vessel of memory, energy, and emotion. A gift from one season of magic to the next.

KataHaifisch Podcast 447 - Allies for Everyone

We unfolded the petals around AHIRAM, and this is what we found out ♡.

✦ The Seed
Every creation begins somewhere… a feeling, a moment, a whisper.
What was the seed that first took root in your musical journey?
”I think it started with being that person completely addicted to music, always chasing the next opportunity to travel across borders to see my favorite artists and discover new clubs. It was the music that brought me there, but it was the energy and the people that made me stay. At some point, I wanted more than just to feel it - I wanted to shape it. That’s when the seed started growing - transforming from personal addiction into shared energy.”

✦ The Soil
Growth needs grounding, texture, and touch.
What grounds you - in life or in music - when the world moves too fast?
”What grounds me, as you said, is knowing that life moves so fast. That’s why I try to seize every chance to make memories with my gang, with the vibrant community, and with the people of Stockholm - my home.”

✦ The Roots
What early influences shaped your soundscape?
Are there memories or places that still echo through your sets?
The Stockholm scene definitely shaped me. In the early 2010s, small rooms held big hearts, and legends like Özgur Can, Zoo Brazil, AN21, and Ida Engberg were huge inspirations. Certain moments in certain clubs still echo in me — those 5 AM evenings at 2:35:1 or Solidaritet, where I made some of my most vivid early memories.

✦The Bloom
 When you play, what kind of world do you hope to open for those who listen? Is there a particular emotion or sensation you want to awaken on the dance floor?
”I never go into a night with a plan. Planning too much would take away from the moment. I don’t necessarily aim to bring something new to listeners every night - I want them to trust that wherever or whatever I play, it will be a good time. That they can surrender to the music and know I’ll take them somewhere meaningful.”

✦ The Pulse
How do you sense when the crowd and sound become one - that shared heartbeat?
”Sometimes I don’t even need to look up - you can just feel it. When my people are around, moving with the rhythm, or when someone in the crowd closes their eyes and smiles, that’s when I know we’re one heartbeat.”

✦ The Season
If your sound were a season, which would it be - and why?
”I’m definitely fall. My inner self feels at home when the nights grow longer and the air heavier. There’s something about that shift - when things slow down and people turn inward. My sound lives in that space - shadowed but emotional. It’s the season where everything feels deeper and more connected.”

✦ The Connection
What do you hope people carry with them after your set -  when the last note fades?
”I hope people leave with that afterglow - the feeling of having gone somewhere together. Maybe they can’t describe it, but it lingers on the way home, in the shower the next day, or when they hear a certain sound again. That’s the magic I chase… connection that outlives the night. Just like I can’t stop thinking about our last Dahlia Nights together.”

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome @wilsonsolidarity

Wilson.solidarity joins the Magician On Duty Journey Series with an intimate new episode

Magician On Duty is proud to present the latest chapter in its acclaimed Journey Series — a deeply emotional and culturally rich set by wilson.solidarity, the German DJ and producer with Bengali roots, and a key member of Berlin’s Rebellion der Träumer collective.

Known for his unique blend of melodic and oriental techno, Wilson.solidarity crafts a sound that bridges continents and emotions — music that moves forward while keeping one foot anchored in his Indian heritage. His sets carry a distinct narrative quality, weaving rhythm and melody into stories of identity, connection, and transformation.

This special Journey Series episode, Wilson describes, is “about love — being abandoned, and eventually finding something beautiful and new again.” The set unfolds like a diary of the last few years of his life, featuring both German and English love tracks that channel personal emotion through musical storytelling. It’s an introspective voyage that captures both heartbreak and renewal, all underpinned by the warmth of his signature mid-tempo groove.

A familiar presence across the European underground circuit, Wilson.solidarity has performed at festivals and venues such as Wonderland Festival, SKALAR Festival, Hoppocalypse at Renate (Berlin), and Aktion gegen Rassismus — as well as appearances across Sri Lanka and Indonesia, reflecting his truly global artistic spirit.

With this Journey Series episode, Wilson.solidarity invites listeners to travel through the many shades of love — from loss to rediscovery — through the universal language of sound.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Special thanks to @bisu-andyou for the wonderful mastering!
