Im Zeitenalter von Masken gewinnt ein einfaches Lächeln an unmessbaren Wert. 
Genau so gut tun frische Luft und schöne Podcasts.
Darum übernimmt keine andere als https://soundcloud.com/jane-ule herself in dieser Episode das Steuer. 
Normalerweise vor allem vom Bassline Dickbrettbohren bekannt, cruised jane ulé in ihrem Slowrider mit getönten Scheiben über die Großstadtautobahn. Musikalisch sozialisiert wurde sie unter Selbsthypnose in Leipzig, wo sie gemeinsam mit der Slowereastside-Bande und friz die Straßen, Clubs und Wohnzimmer unsicher gemacht hat. Von dort aus ging es mit dem großen Rucksack voller Tracks auf die Festivals und Clubs der Welt. Inzwischen ist sie in Berlin angekommen und auch hier warten tausend Projekte, viele Menschen und noch mehr Ideen. Manche leise, viele laut. 
Wir freuen uns auf jedes Einzelne.
Bühne frei für jane ulé!

That rainy winter morning, the little witch woke up in a wet and windy forest.  With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always happens in a different location and in the ever-changing company of two other witches).
After finishing her daily inspection round of the muddy woods, the barefoot girl washed her feet in a little stream, said goodbye to the forest dwellers, and flew into the unknown.  She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  
This time she flew straight to the East and it was a really long flight.  Never before had she ventured this far eastwards.  After a couple of hours, the rainclouds dissipated and soon she was flying over a snow-covered winter landscape under a glorious blue sky.
While passing over a huge forest, she sensed she had reached her destination and gently touched down in a clearing.  To her great surprise, she wasn’t welcomed by two witches but instead of that, two female wolves were waiting for her.  After a long hug with both animals (hugging a fluffy wolf is particularly pleasant when it’s freezing cold), it appeared that warm clothes and boots were waiting for their guest, with exactly the same grey color as wolf fur.  After putting on the comfortable cape, the little witch felt a very special energy descending over her body … and she immediately knew this was pure wolf energy.  And to her amazement, all of a sudden she was capable of speaking wolf language fluently.  Then the two wolves took the little witch deeper into the woods.  It was an old forest named Puszcza Białowieska, one of the very rare primeval forests in Europe and most trees were already centuries old.  With the immaculately white snow carpet, the majestic trees looked like pillars of a natural cathedral.  Finally they reached the biggest tree the girl had ever seen of her whole life.  The wolves explained this oak tree was named ‘The Guardian of Zwierzyniec’ and its circumference was a staggering 658 cm.  The wolves led the girl to the other side of the tree, where she found an ancient book, lying on a carpet of moss and fern leaves.  The eldest wolf explained that this holy book used to belong to an old wise witch, who was sadly burned at the stake during the persecutions of the 16th century.  Luckily, the old woman saw her fate coming and managed to hand over the holy book to a pack of wolves, who protected it ferociously for over 50 generations.  And since a few years, on every full moon day one random witch is being invited to come and read this venerable book.  And on that snowy day it was the little witch’s turn to get the honour to discover this hidden treasure.  With cautious movements, the girl opened the ancient book and started reading.  On page 1 she found out that the writing of this book had commenced on the 1st day of February of the year 1202, which was that day exactly 819 years ago.  After that, the girl browsed further and deeper into the book and soon she was completely absorbed into this invaluable treasure trove of wholesome magic spells, but it also treated more mundane subjects like a recipe of horseradish stew, a dish which the little witch had so far failed to get right.  The witch was so immersed in the ancient book, that she kept on reading all night long (with the help of some floating lights which she created using a spell which came straight out of the book).  The next morning, the girl was full of new energy and insights, thanked the two female wolves with a (long and fluffy) goodbye hug and flew back westwards to her own forest, wiser and more accomplished than ever before …

We are delighted to have @aka_tony in charge of the Sunset music for the next couple of weeks! This slow burner mix is an absolute stomper of a set. One of the most active underground DJs on the scene right now and his capacity to deliver on a regular basis is more than impressive! 

Interview with aka-tony
*********************
Morning Thomas 😊 
➢I hope you agree to answer a few random and fun questions to share with our listeners? 

Of course, let's get started

➢To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning? 

Listening to the music I play today, one wouldn't think that I'm a big fan of Soul & R&B. But “It's my house” by Diana Ross always succeeds in putting a smile on my face.

➢Tell us briefly how you chose aka-tony as your artist alias? 

When I created my Soundcloud account, I had no idea that I would be DJing again in the distant future. Back in 2010, it annoyed me that I often got confused with a certain Tony Williams who worked for the same company as me. I often got e-mails and other things that were meant for my almost namesake. So “aka tony” quickly became a running joke among my colleagues and that's how this Soundcloud account name came about. Then in 2018, when I started DJing again after break of 20 years, I had no desire to change this name.

➢You have been busy working on your own aka-tapes as well as conducting interviews for Planet Ibiza. What are your next plans for 2021 and beyond? 

I am currently preparing a fundraising project for indigenous peoples. For the dia do indio on April the 19th, the podcast series Heimlich (AT), Faultierdisko (DE), Casa Caos (BR), Amalaya (SA), Cosmovision (CA), Downtempo Rituals (USA) and Planet Ibiza (ESP) will each release a podcast with music with indigenous influences and call for donations to an organization dedicated to the cause of indigenous peoples. I am super grateful that I found so many podcast series who liked my idea and decided to support this project. 

In addition, at Planet Ibiza we will launch a new format called Inner Sense in February 2021, which is all about spiritual, organic music. We are happy that we were able to engage Andi from the Leipzig Tribe of Peace to start off the new format. Jamie Sisley will then contribute the second episode. I am looking forward to it.

➢Since the pandemic, it has been a difficult time for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different when things return to a certain “normality”? 

Of course, the last 11 months have been incredibly bitter for many cultural workers and I am very sincerely sorry for that. My heart aches when I think of all the people who are suddenly faced with existential questions. Although I have the feeling that there’s still as much music produced as before, but of course all the music that is being created is somehow influenced by the pandemic. However, I believe and hope that with the return to normality, new spaces will emerge. This would be very positive for a city like Zurich, because here, too long and too often the same style has been played repeatedly. Fast and hard. Hopefully this will change a bit in the future, because the downtempo revolution as we know it from Berlin or Vienna will hardly skip Zurich. The people and club operators here just need a little longer but the younger generation already understands it very well. When I listen to artists like Akra Ondo or Oilst, I know that Zurich has a lot to offer.

➢Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit about your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose? 

Well, this answer will be brief. I'm less of a concept guy, so I didn't put a hundred thoughts into it before I recorded the mix. It was important to me at that time to play well under 100 bpm and to put songs with fat basses in it. The rest came naturally.

Witchtape #89 | Guest Wizz : kueksen

That February morning the little witch made her daily inspection tour around the bitter cold forest.  It’s been for over one week that the temperatures were around -10°C every morning, but the girl didn’t mind as the whole forest was covered under a beautiful carpet of snow while the winter sun was shining under a glorious blue sky.  She particularly enjoyed the soft cracking sounds as her bare feet cautiously treaded on the immaculate snow carpet, while she was continuously peering down to spot animal tracks in the snow.  She found all kinds of footprints : rabbits, deer, wild boars and even the odd lone wolf track.  The witch was so absorbed by all her tracking activities, that she didn’t notice the spectacular rise in temperature, while the wind had shifted from the North-East to the South.  She only noticed it when  the first green patches of moss popped up from underneath in the melting snow carpet.  The frozen soil soon turned into a pool of mud, but the barefoot girl didn’t mind her feet getting muddy.  Her heart started to beat intensely while she ran nimbly to the Southern edge of the forest.  Such a sudden rise in temperature could only mean one thing :  her wizard had returned from his epic journey to his ancestral lands in Africa …

[Short biography]
Luminescu is an up-and-coming minimal DJ and producer based in Montreal. The origin of his moniker comes from the Latin root of his surname—meaning “Light”—with the characteristic Romanian suffix as a tribute to their illustrious writers and more recent rominimal wave. He shared line-ups with great inspirations like Alci, John Dimas, Praslea and Pheek, only to name a few. He recently signed two EPs on Psicodelica and Minimadelic Records, a single on Ambrosía Records and he’s now focusing on a psychoacoustics concept album.

A few words from Luminescu:

I was once asked to record a set as if it were my last on Earth. Without the claim to be the best—I imagined a selection full of love, good-natured, with knowing smiles and cries of joy. I imagined a setting where a few friends are dancing in the sand, under the shining sun, with a massive sound system and an unprecedented bonding and energy.
The set was crafted around tonal similarities and key to ensure an ever-ending story and a seamless narrative. Rominimal joints succeed one another with common characteristics: driving bass and rolling percussions, while the mood oscillates in between bouncing sunny tracks and progressive stellar atmospheres. Around half of the set, a vocal perfectly sums up the universal message I wanted to share: “All right y’all. And, by the way, you hear this morning that somebody loves you, somebody believes in you, and somebody needs you. And, somebody knows that you can do it, I know you can do it!”
The second half is marked by a short dub slowdown—a remix I made for my buddy Jack George (on Fratii.ro)—followed by a succession of powerful breaks and energetic tech tracks, including a tribute to the old school with an Underworld edit. The journey ends with a dreamy break beat piece, allowing for a smooth return to earth.
In the end, I imagined people dancing round in a circle while holding hands and sincerely hope you will feel the same!
