Here is the recording of the liveset I played at cosy festival last Sunday! I am so happy I decided to hit record on this occasion, which I rarely do with live sets, but I had the feeling, like this one could be special and it was! It was such a huge joy to close this stage for the festival with the cutest crowd ever. I just felt a calm and warm joy with everyone happily wobbling to the downtempo flow, like everyone is taking deep happy breaths. It was exactly that deeply heartfelt energy I am missing on dance floors these days so often. So I am mega happy to have captured it and am able to share this with you guys. Its some old tunes, some new tunes, I hope you like it never the less <3

We welcome Aka-Tony for our seventh episode of NatureTempo.

Tony is a musical storyteller shaped by depth, not algorithms. Raised in Zurich and mentored early by his handicapped uncle - a passionate audiophile who taught him to listen long before he learned to play - Tony discovered the emotional architecture behind sound while other kids chased melodies.

What began as a quiet obsession turned into a lifelong pursuit of tension, release, and the frequencies between. As an aficionado of underground culture, aka-Tony avoids the obvious. His sets are sculpted narratives—textural, cerebral, raw—spanning dubby margins, broken rhythms, and hypnotic progressions that reward the deep listener and the relentless dancer alike.

No gimmicks, no crowd-pleasing shortcuts. Just rare grooves, long blends, and a precise sense of timing that comes only from years in the booth and countless nights immersed in sonic detail.

Playing regularly across Zurich and Berlin, and hosting two podcast series, aka-Tony is part of a quiet resistance in electronic music—where taste still matters, and curation is a form of care.

'NatureTempo' Podcast 007 - Aka-Tony

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 🫶🏼

Hello wonderful people, 
this is our daytime set from Saturday at Schweissperle at Bucht der Träumer* Festival.
This wasn’t a set about driving the dancefloor. It was an invitation to listen, to breathe, to soften, to simply be. And whenever we looked around, we saw exactly that: people feeling free to do what felt right in that moment, dancing slowly in the sunlight, smiling at each other, hugging, crying, resting, whatever their hearts called for. It was truly touching to witness this unfolding around us.

So when people came over during or after the set, hugging us with tears in their eyes, saying the music moved them so deeply it filled them with gratitude for life and for the ones they love and care for… uff. These are the moments we live and create music for: to be human together in sound.

Sometimes, when words fall short, the music speaks. And in this space, it spoke for us and with you. Every track we chose carries a special place in our hearts. This set was very personal, and sharing it with you in this way meant so much to us.

Endless gratitude to @arnau-yuna for trusting us and inviting us into this moment. To the whole crew for building such a cozy, beautiful floor, and to @rebelliondertraumer for shaping a weekend full of magic that is one of the highlights of the summer for so many of us. And to every single soul who opened up, showed vulnerability, or reached out with the sweetest messages full of honesty and warmth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We hope each of you found just what you needed out there.

With love,

M & J

... From one dream to another ...

Happy to share the recording of my live set from Sunday 8 am at Mystic Creatures’ Creatures Corner stage. 
This is (for the most part) the same set I’ve been performing throughout the summer, and i’m suuuuperrr excited to share it with you finally! 😻

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I feel when I get to share my music live. To move something in you is a dream come true. 🥹
Closing out the summer in that cozy corner, surrounded by dancing friends, warm smiles, and the soft morning sun, was truly magical.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the beautiful souls around me who make moments like this possible. I love you. ❤️

Somewhere between the kick and the delay — at 00:40 hours, 108 BPM — my DJ-MacBook just froze  (I still play on those devices and I most likely always will - although... I am short before investing in some other gear to play a little bit, to be seen). 

Seven seconds of silence. Total blackout.
The crowd didn’t flinch. 
Someone laughed and shouted, “Ma che Tony!”

Next day I opened the session, found the gap, stitched the groove, dusted it clean.

Now it sounds right — tunes I truly feel.

The beauty of a simple editor cut. 

Enjoy and thanks to the wonderful crowd and - always in my heart - Kauz Zürich and crew!
