Bio: Tunisian by birth, Sami first got a taste of music, when he got his first complete setup and started to juggle with melodic, organic and tribal sounds. In constant search for new sounds, Sami takes inspiration from the ethnic tunes and instruments, spiritual music and melodic vocals. With every mix, listeners are bound to travel with him on a unique and exotic journey. He enjoys juggling with various genres of underground music, going from dreamy downtempo to ethereal techno.
His mixes were streamed on international radio stations and respected outlets as Ibiza Global Radio (IBZ), Ibiza Sonica Radio (IBZ), Deep House Dubai (DXB), Deep House Barcelona (BCN), Psychedelic Kitty (PAR) and Elysium Collectif (PAR).

Last year was the first time I DJ’ed at Garbicz. I instantly fell in love with the place, the people, the forest, the magnificent vibe. What a festival! You can imagine how thrilled I was to play there again this year – on my favorite floor of the festival, with a beautiful time slot.  

On Saturday morning at 8AM, I opened Buk Corner’s infamous cocktail bar. You could see the sun rise over the lake. Soon enough, people came pouring in from all corners of the festival. It was heartwarming to see many of my Dutch and German friends supporting me from the start. Some had partied all night, others had set their alarm clock to hear my set. Ain’t that dedication? 

As a DJ, I like to take people through different sounds and styles. Thanks to the open-mindedness and party-mindedness of Garbicz’s seasoned ravers, I was able to take the dance floor along on this journey. I hope the vibe of this most magical morning is captured in the recording. Enjoy.

No matter where I am when I play tracks with sounds from this continent people really start to dance. There seems to be something about the music from this part of the world that connects deep within us.

This set is an homage to Africa. Not all of the songs are made there, but they seem to speak the language of this region. There are also samples taken from a trip Dean took recently to Kenya that are woven into the set. I hope this hour set takes you on your perfect journey.

One love,

Dersu

About the photo: Between the ages of about 14 and 30, young men are traditionally known as morans. During this life stage, they live in isolation in the bush, learning tribal customs and developing strength, courage, and endurance—traits for which Maasai warriors are noted throughout the world. This photo was taken in Loitokitok, in Kenya on the border of Tanzania.

(Story continued from Witchtape #56)

Finally, after spending one night in the African rain forest in the loving presence of all sorts of exotic animals and trees, the little witch sensed that the time was finally right to fly the last mile to the village in the nearby clearing… the home village of her soon-to-be-husband wizard and – of course – her future parents-in-law.  The girl was very nervous, but not because of the prospect of meeting her in-laws but simply because the village was full of people, while so far the biggest crowd the solitary girl had ever seen, consisted of 3 witches, including herself.  
Soon afterwards the girl started flying at a gentle pace towards the village, which seemed deserted (the wizard had instructed the villagers to stay indoors in order not to unsettle their airborne guest).  The witch calmed down a bit when she saw a giant baobab tree in the middle of the village.  With a graceful movement, she touched down at the foot of the tree.  Immediately after her feet hit the ground, she heard some children erupting in cheers in the nearby building with a thatched roof, and soon afterwards she saw 8 schoolgirls getting out of the wooden building and running towards the witch while cheering enthusiastically.  They immediately hugged the European witch warmly and touched her pale-white skin as well as her incredibly soft long brown hair, which was not curly like their own hair.  The little girls were all between 7 and 10 years old.  They were all black, yet they had all distinctly different colors and appearances.  The witch felt a strong energy flowing back and forth during the group hug… she had never felt so much love.  Visibly the 8 children were all witches-in-the-making.
After a few minutes, the witch saw an elderly couple walking out of the school building.  The 8 girls all became quiet when they saw their school principals approaching.  
They explained that in the course of the last couple of years, the 8 girls had all by themselves found the way to this village from the 8 different corners of Africa, and after arriving they all said that they wanted to become a witch and protect the rain forests of the continent.  But actually nobody in the village knew exactly what they needed to teach these girls to become a witch, but they sensed a solution would appear out of the blue in due time.  So the elders of the villages, started teaching the kids about the plants and animals of the forest, and also about medicinal brews as well as the delicate celestial energies of the sun, the moon and the stars.  It soon became clear that all the 8 girls had a special mystic bond with the animals of the surrounding forest, and quite often one of the kids slipped out of the village to spend some time in the wilderness, where the friendly animals took care of them before bringing them back to the village at dusk time…
