Mila Stern - 45 Katzen Tanzen Auf'm Tisch

Riesendank für diese schöne Erinnerung! Diese Energie, diese vielen lieben Menschen! ich war kaputt und glücklich nach dieser Nacht mit euch!
vergangenen Sommer krönte das Conscious Madness Festival einen langen Festival Sommer für mich. <3 ich habe den Ort und die Menschen kennen lernen dürfen und  auf einem wundersamen Hexenkessel DJ Booth im Wald gespielt.
vorgestern hat das Conscious Madness Festival meinen Lieblingsladen Mensch Meier für eine Soli Party zum vibrieren gebracht und ich darf euch den Mitschnitt meines Sets von 3-6 in der Räubahöhle zum Wochenstart einflösen.

viel spaß :)

KREATüREN & WOLFGäNGE - B0NITA @ MYSTIC CREATURES | 110923

So my dad got curious when I kept talking to him about my gigs (he already told me that he had been mixing when he was a young adult) and at some point he asked me to show him my music collection. He kind of confessed to me that he actually also sometimes really likes electronic music and so he asked me if I would do a mix for him. 

We digged together through my collection, I got an idea of what he likes and thats the final result! At some point I struggled, cause I wanted it to be perfect for my dad, but I came further more to the conclusion that no matter how important a project is, imperfection is always fine!  

yes, there are already well known tracks
yes, there a lot of vocals,
yes, there are a lot of cheesy tracks,
but I totally don’t care, cause this is all about a project to fulfill a wish of my dad!

Happy Birthday and love you to the moon and back 
dein Murkel, deine Önna, deine Kleene

🎶 Mark Redlights presents "Astana" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 284 🎶

[German 🇩🇪 ]
Wir von Afterhour Sounds versuchen immer wieder über den Tellerand zu schauen und neue spannende Musiktrends, als auch dazugehörige Künstlerinnen und Künstler zu finden, die gut auf eine Afterhour passen würden. Nicht dass uns bounciger Down- und Midtempo oder Techno langweilt. Ganz im Gegenteil. Finden wir immer noch spannend. Aber Abwechslung gehört eben auch dazu. Von daher wundert euch nicht. Denn heute sind wir ganz weit weg von Deutschland. In einem Land, dass so gut wie niemand auf dem Schirm hat. Die Rede ist von Kasachstan und dem dort wohnhaften Künstler Mark Redlights, den ich während einem Gig dort kennenlernte. 

Sein Sound ist definitiv nicht von dieser Welt. Verspuhlter House mit hypnotischer Wirkung beschreibt es ganz gut. Macht euch auf ein ganz feines Set gefasst, dass nicht nur zeitlos daherkommt, sondern einen schlichtweg in den Bann zieht. Dazu eine Playlist, die ihres gleichen sucht. Track ID's vorprogrammiert.

Tausend Dank Mark für diesen feinen Mix.

Wenn Afterhour, dann hier. 🌜 🎶

[English 🇬🇧 ]

We at Afterhour Sounds are always trying to think outside the box and find exciting new music trends and artists that would fit in well at an afterhour. Not that we're bored of bouncy down- and midtempo or techno. Quite the opposite. We still find it exciting. But variety is also part of it. So don't be surprised. Because today we're a long way from Germany. In a country that almost nobody has on their radar. We're talking about Kazakhstan and the artist Mark Redlights, who lives there and whom I got to know during a gig there. 

His sound is definitely out of this world. Spooky house with a hypnotic effect describes it quite well. Get ready for a very fine mix that not only comes across as timeless, but simply casts a spell over you. Plus a playlist that is second to none. Track ID's pre-programmed.

A thousand thanks to Mark for this fine mix.

If afterhour, then here. 🌜 🎶

INTERVIEW:

✔️ What is your musical background?
As many people, I was influenced by a variety of artists and genres. I've started my musical journey as a drummer, listening to rock music, funk and soul. Yet I was always fascinated by synthesizers and drum machines, which eventually led to my obsession with electronic music. I've started DJing and producing House and Techno, but have discovered new genres almost every months. Now it's even hard for me to decipher what styles are my favorite. 

✔️ What does a afterhour means to you?
I would say that good "afterhours" might mean totally different things for everyone. A lot of people from my are would prefer some hard bangers until the very end of the rave. I, in contrary, might enjoy some minimal grooves, which will lead me to a smooth landing.

✔️ How should an afterhour sounds like?
That's exactly what ive tried to achieve with my set. I will be complete honest, I rarely play as an afterparty DJ, since clubs usually book my for a prime time. However, this is roughly what I would enjoy playing.
