Was für ein Wochenende! 

Das Lichtalbenfestival 2021 war ein besonderer Moment für meine Freunde und mich. Tolle Location, klasse Leute, mega Glück mit dem Wetter.

Zum einen durfte ich dank olibrii und der tollen 60 Zoll Crew aus Hannover selbst spielen Samstag Nacht von 1:00-3:00 Uhr in einer cosy Lagerfeueratmosphäre beim Kiosk.
Zum anderen waren meine Homies Electrogecko und cLam genauso geflasht wie ich, mal wieder raus zu kommen nach dem Lockdownwahnsinn.
Und last but not least durfte ich einige Soundcloudbuddies persönlich kennen lernen, den jeweiligen Menschen dahinter quasi.

Ich freue mich, mit den sympathischen Leuten aus Kassel um Kiki Kokolores und Coordese abhängen und tanzen zu dürfen. (Kikis Set war übrigens der Killer und mein persönliches Highlight des ganzen Wochenendes.)
Fredaric und Marlin Helene von der Diskoflausch Crew waren auch da und ziemlich cool. Marlin Helene hat gleich zwei mal gerockt, was das Zeug hält.
Xayíde spielte wunderschön verträumt nach mir und entpuppte sich ebenfalls als supernett. Ich hoffe, ich habe niemanden vergessen, natürlich waren auch jede Menge für mich neue Leute da.

Rundum ein Erlebnis, wirklich ein gelungenes Festival. Ich habe mich selten so wie in einer großen Familie gefühlt. Und es hat so Spaß gemacht. Sonntags wurde es dann auch dank olibrii´s und baenj´s chanagang Auftritt einfach nur so absurd, dass wir uns spontan den Montag frei nehmen mussten.  HAMMER! 

Hier die Links von unseren neuen Freunden (so empfinde ich es jedenfalls), es lohnt sich da mal rein zu hören!

"Leben ist lebensgefährlich..."

Yes, life is dangerous, and a bitch sometimes...
But it is also wonderful if you hang in there, keep your trust and 
turn it into a beach!
Give up your troubles, HE is ready to carry your load!
Dont´t believe in whatever media, believe in something that is worth believing in.
Don´t worry, be happy and keep rollin, you are safe if you want...
Try to always be aware of the greatest gift to mankind - L.O.V.E.
Go catch your wave! <3

Peace on earth

Live Recording of my Mix at a friends´ birthday Party somewhere in the middle of the Taunus mountains. 

The beautiful surrounding, the weather, the nature, the people, the food, e.g. turned out to be the perfect setup for some chilled-out tunes and a great time to relax for everybody.

Thank you lord for this wonderful day 
and this world!
Please forgive us forgetting about you 
and treating our paradise like shit!

Happy birthday

RƎVERSƎ CAST #01 - bretfast for D-Composers/London

"The Curious Case of Bretfast Button"


Live recording of my set as part of the Sokosolirave @ the infamous Fundbureau Hamburg on April 28th.

I played it as the closing set of Bummelbar from 04:00 - 07:00 am and my idea was to "buttonize" the common way of how to build up a set in terms of progression,  velocity and a raising energy level. 
It starts at a personal high for me around 110 bpm, with a constant relief from there to what I refer to as bummelbounce in the low 90s area. 

I liked the approach, had a lot of fun and definitely felt younger in the morning, lol...

Live Recording of my earlier Set at a friends birthday party in the middle of Darmstadt in the middle of Germany.

--------------

I felt like creating a lounge-like atmosphere, without a certain preferred style oder genre. This is how I started the mix. But at some point people came up to me and friendly asked for a little bit more spice and energy in the beautiful place. I sped the flow up from there a notch and tried to let the groove do the rest.

It worked out I guess, which made me quite happy, because as you might know, I´m more of a podcaster than an action based DJ on any kind of stage. I rarely play in front of people, and therefore am not used to improvise and let the flow and feedback of the audience control the direction of the set. 

As I haven´t seen some of the people in years, I was talking to one or the other while mixing. Therefore please don´t pay too much attention to the transitions. Furthermore it wasn´t that easy for my ruptured ears to mix without monitoring and many people having conversations. I gave my best  and I thought I might as well upload it. 

This mix is about friendship, the love to life, the vibe,
thankfulness in general and 
the appreciation of our creator, lord and saviour!

--------------

Oh, and before I forget:
Happy Birthday and all the best to you dear Aki!

Thank you for the great party. What a nice location, tasty food and lots of good people. 
Also many thanks for the time I was allowed to do architecture with you. I learned a lot from you about the realization of sketches and ideas, the creation of space and especially focusing on details.  

Thanks also and credits to all the great artists played in this mix.

RƎVERSƎ CAST #02
bretfast´s exclusive mix for fLOYD tRAVIS/Hamburg

https://soundcloud.com/floydtravis

fLOYD tRAVIS aka fLOZAO is 1/2 of Warm & wÜRZIG and part of the infamous Love Crew Hamburg & Soko Kickloch.
He is a big mUSIC LoVER and after 2o years of just dancing and listening he dropped 2o17 into mixing as well... from slowdown over bouncin' techno to breaky shit. Make sure to check out his stuff, his sets are straight forward and don´t leave anybody standing around on the dancefloor.

fLOYD is also an amazing listener. 
He discovered bretfast´s sound two years ago and from the first contact via soundcloud there evolved a true friendship based on mutual respect of the others delicate ears and wide-range taste of any kind of music. 
he invited bretfast 2023 to play one of his very rare live sets at the Fundbureau as part of the Sokolovesolirave fLOYD and his crew throw regularly.

Thank you fLOYD for your support and big shouts to Hamburg my friend!
I hope you like this mix i dedicated to you!
I tried to pack it with love, positive energy and some bouncy special spice!

RƎVERSƎ CAST #02 - bretfast for fLOYD tRAVIS/Hamburg

Live recording of my opening set @ Vogeltränke/Schlachthof Wiesbaden from 6-8pm. (sorry for overdrawing a little bit ;)

I played this mix as the aspiring young "Am Draht Collective" asked me kindly to begin the evening with some downtempo tunes, which I enjoyed a lot to do.

What a great setup. 
Many friends actually showed up, the sun really gave its best all day and the cozy location contributed to seemingly everybody having a good time. Smiling people all over the place and a dancing dove on the jog dial is what I will remember from this amazing day and party.

Thank you dear https://soundcloud.com/frederick-basting and https://soundcloud.com/frank_frank for inviting me to play at your event, your following set at was a blast by the way. <3
Keep doing what you are doing, your awesome collective just came out of the cradle and it will grow for sure. https://soundcloud.com/rainer-werner-fassbinder

I hope you liked my mix as well, which I tried to spice with a little bit more energy and bounce as usual.

bretfast loves all kind of sounds,
the sun and the clouds,
he is an aware listener and gives credit,
he loves to hear a song or mix progress and evolve, change directions, twist or just flow constantly.

bretfast enjoys making music himself.
not on a professional basis, 
but with admiration and love.

-------------------------------------------

The Way of Love (1. Corinthians 13) 

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

Love is patient and kind; 
love does not envy or boast; 
it is not arrogant or rude. 
It does not insist on its own way; 
it is not irritable or resentful; 
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, 
but rejoices with the truth. 

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away...

...So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; 
but the greatest of these is love.
