Crystals on Spring Breaks

Spellbound

The night is darkening round me,

The wild winds coldly blow;

But a tyrant spell has bound me

And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending

Their bare boughs weighed with snow.

And the storm is fast descending,

And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,

Wastes beyond wastes below;

But nothing drear can move me;

I will not, cannot go.

Poem by Emily Brontë

Crispy Winter Crystals | Winter 2022

DJing into my birthday with ma good old friends and the Beate Barfuss party crowd was so special after a looong club break. I loved each moment of these mesmerising 3 hours with you and especially your birthday serenade at the end of my performance!

For all the other listeners - enjoy an eclectic DJ mix with many classics from all over the genres that electronic music has to offer!

Happy Crystal Day | Beate Uwe | March 2022

Sweaty and happy 😊 my motto for the upcoming summer!

Finally I could play all my favourite summer hit breaks and practise some new dance 🪩moves for the upcoming season at the Kinkerlitzchen Floor at @meeresrausch Festival 2022!

Thanks to everybody who was still awake, got over their hangover from Friday night or just came by and found a shady spot to dance!

Chrystal Chris | Meeresrausch 2022 | Kinkerlitzchen

For me this has been my 14th year of Lärz magic at Fusion Festival! I had the times of my life on these festival grounds, I made so many connections, danced to endless DJ sets and concerts and still return with my homies every year.

Finally I could give sth. back and hope you can relate. With old and new releases from the last two decades, the set reflects all those past 14 years - an ode to life -with all those stories in different shades to tell. 

Thank you @punanipunani for making this happen <333
Thank you to all my friends who were there with me and supported me in every second of the set. I love you!
Thank you to all you beautiful dancers who travelled with me through time and space!
Thank you to all you listeners who feel the vibe <333

✨ Live at Dubstation – Thursday Morning (9–12) ✨

What a beautiful morning...
Thursday, 9 AM – soft light, smiling faces, warm bass rolling through the air.
The Dubstation was glowing with presence, connection, and deep grooves.
Thank you to everyone who came early, stretched out in the sun, danced barefoot, or just listened with their whole being.

The energy was calm but full, grounded yet wide open – like floating and rooting at the same time.
Playing in this atmosphere felt timeless.

Huge love to the Dubstation crew and every soul who tuned in.

Together on Crystals | Mensch Meier | Berlin | Mar-04-17

This is the recording of my set I played at Wahn & Sinn, a fundraiser party of 'Freundlicher Mob' at 'Kulturhaus Kili'. This night felt like in a dream - being  captivated by the atmosphere created by so many dedicated people and being honoured to play after @renegadesofjazz and @holgerhecler!

The donations went to Watch The Med – Alarmphone, a hotline for refugees in distress at sea. The transnational network supports migrants in reaching Europe safely by coordinating and communicating with the relevant coastguard authorities and civil search and rescue units. 
One of the Alarmphone’s priorities is monitoring and evaluating the cases in the Mediterranean to create public awareness about the often deadly impacts of the European border regime. The activists take a clear stand for the freedom of movement for all people.
I emphasise the importance and urgency of this project. By a click on the 'Support' button you can find all the informations on their activities as well as to the donation page.
For years I have been dealing myself with the complex matter of migration and flight. Through this set I am trying to express my own reflection on displacement that is part of all of us, kept in our own narrative, history and heritage.

Crystals in delusion | Kulturhaus Kili | Berlin | Jun-24-17

This is the recording of my set I played for our Kybele celebration of International Women's Day at Crack Bellmer. I am feeling delighted and honoured to play for such a special show in the name of a collective and movement I feel strongly connected and belonging too.
I am citing below the deeply moving words of @tugce-kurtis, the founder and curator of @kybelean, that she wrote for the event itself.
Thank you Tugce for bringing back Kybele into our lives!
'to re-member: to make whole again
Since the beginning of time, people have honored women and the Sacred Feminine across diverse sites. Although much of this wisdom has been forgotten in the last five thousand years, it is re-emerging and inviting us to restore balance and wholeness within ourselves, in our relationships with one another and with the Earth. The Kybele project builds on this ancient, universal wisdom and calls on us – music makers and listeners alike – to re-imagine, re-member, and re-create a cultural paradigm that affirms and celebrates our balance, wholeness and interdependence. '

What a beautiful gathering of amazing crews and characters it has been! I am fulfilled with happiness by deepening our connections and I am still feeling sublime and overwhelmed about it.
With this set I would like to express my gratitude to @somethingslow and @afterhour-sounds for their support! Both collectives play an important role in my artistic path as they both believe in me and have supported my arts steadily. 
In February 2017 Something Slow invited me to play my first gig in Berlin at Beate Uwe where I also met Uwe from Afterhour Sounds two months before for his 25th techno anniversary! We share a connection for the world of crystals that we see as energy transmitter in our life cycles! When crystals allign...<333

╰ ☆ ╮When Crystals align╰ ☆ ╮ | Sth. Slow & Afterhour Sounds | April 2018

After living at and exploring many different places in the world, the DJ Chrystal Chris (@chrystal-chris) have now found her base in Berlin where she's been discovering a huge and diverse music community. For Chrissy life consists of confusion, chaos(!) and intensity. With music, she can translate these inner feelings, bringing them in an order. It is the purest form of being true to herself. "DJing is like creating a patchwork of changing beats, rhythms and frequencies of life in order to re-tell them as synthesis", as she said. Next to her solo project, she's also performing as @saphear together with violinist Sawatzki (@sawatzki). From this partnership they're organising and curating a monthly event series called Kolibri Sinfonie  (@kolibrisinfonie) at Klunkerkranich (@klunkerkranich) on the rooftops of Berlin with many great performing artists. Going further, being part of the beautiful inclusive collective KYBELE (@kybelean), highlighting creative works of international female-identified artists in music.

Mixed in the beginning of April at her flat in Neukölln when the first signs of spring set in, this 117th edition got inspiration by her walking through parks, observing the trees and plants and their reactions to her. The set expresses this careful, soft but progressive blooming of being. There is a quote of Hermann Hesse’s Demian, which sums up this process very well: "The bird struggles out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who wants to be born must first destroy a world.“

Crystals off the track | Irrwege. | Moloch | Hamburg | May-19-18

There are these few moments in life when I know that's it's alright, that I am alright...
At the Beate Barfuß party I felt appreciated in a way that I was able to share all the different faces that I am carrying inside myself expressed by the frequencies that I transmitted to you.
I am extremely grateful for this experience of oneness on the day of the four ones, November, 11th when there was no difference anymore between myself, yourself, ourselves and the whole space around us!

Crystals in Oneness | Beate Barfuß, Beate Uwe | 11-11-2018

I recommend you to shine bright.
Within the spheres of warm-hearted sounds
Chrystal Chris beams you up making you softly bounce.

Shine bright like a crystal | Sonido Tropico | Birgit & Bier | Dec-01-2018

Tracklist: https://bit.ly/2GOp76T
In 2007 I discovered electronic music. I started to go to festivals, parties and endless raves. When I moved to Hamburg in 2010, I got to know the Rotzige Beatz whose parties include unforgettable experiences in my raver's life. With their amazingly well-established 'Südpol' they created a space in which one is free to be. A big thanks to them for all their efforts, never giving up on their vision!
I felt so moved when they've invited me as well as from the presence of all my beloved friends who came to dance and support me!
Enjoy this icy, funky, groovy 4-hours trip in penguin land by tripping through genres in states of confusion.

Happy Birthday liebe Chris … schön dass ich so ein wunderbares Set zu deinem Jubeltag veröffentlichen darf … lass dich schön und ausgiebig feiern DU toller Mensch <3

Chris ist auch so eine schöne Freundschaft die uns die Musik beschert hat. Wirklich getroffen haben wir uns bisher auch nur zweimal. Aber jedes Mal könnte man meinen es sind schon Jahrzehnte. Und wie ich so oft feststellen musste liegt es wohl an der Musik weil das unser gemeinsamer unverbrauchter Nenner ist. Schon faszinierend.

Aufmerksam geworden bin ich auf Chrystal Chris … ja durch ihren Namen. Da ich selbst seit langer Zeit Kristalle und Mineralien sammle und damit arbeite … hat das einfach gepasst. Damals hat Chris noch in Hamburg gewohnt. Ist dann aber bald nach Berlin gezogen wo sie nun wie ein Tausendsassa durch die Berliner Elektor-Szene wirbelt. Neben ihrem Solo-Projekt als Chrystal Chris ist sie auch noch mit dem Violinist Sawatzki zusammen das Duo Saphear … was mich regelmäßig vom Hocker haut. Außerdem ist sie noch fester Bestandteil vom Kybelean Kollektiv das weibliche Musiker in den Focus stellt und fördert. Und ebenfalls mit Sawatzki zusammen veranstaltet sie noch die Kolibrisonfonie Partys auf meinem geliebten Klunkerkranich über den Dächern Berlins …. Also Tausendsassa passt wunderbar wie finde.

Im April letzten Jahres haben wir bereits den Podcast hier ausgemacht … Chris meinte ach das wäre ja schön das Set an meinem Geburtstag zu veröffentlichen … ok noch lang hin … aber wie immer die Zeit vergeht … hier es dann doch schon. Und Chris hat sich mega mega mäßig ins Zeug gelegt … 6 Tage jeden Tag an diesem Set gebastelt und die Tracks arrangiert. Was soll ich sagen ich bin überwältigt … so viel Feingefühl, so ausgewogen … hach.

Chris schön dass es DICH und DEINE Musik gibt … mach einfach weiter so 💙 💙 💙

Und meinen lieben und treuen Hörern wünsch ich nun viel Freude mit diesem frühlingshaften und so positiven Mix … genießt die Sonne.

Twisted Crystals | Aduka Festival | June 2019

Many years ago I started to listen to electronic music - I jumped directly into Psytrance - infected by the Trancefloor at Fusion Festival. After that, I visited many GOA gatherings all over the world.
Now, twelve years later I have played at a psytrance festival as DJ for the first time, at the 25th birthday of Antaris Project - how special!
My dear friends built up their fire tent which became the center of the Chill Out Area. There I played Saturday Night from 11pm-0.30am, right before Chris Zippel who kindly invited me! Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, kind words and positive feedback! So much respect and gratitude to Uwe who is the organiser of Antaris for putting all his passion into this project! It was great meeting you!

Chrystal Chris [at] Freundetreffen Festival (28.07.2019)

The artists behind this episode is the wonderful @chrystal-chris .
We met her at a producing workshop this year where we explored the abletondjungle together.
Beside her solo Act she is part of @saphear  a mix of DJing and live violin. Moreover she is part of @kybelean a great collective focused on female acts. 
Now she recorded us a insanely sad podcast full of love. 
Enjoy the melancholia !<3

Lotencast ·  CHRYSTAL CHRIS

My first gig in 2020. 
Here are some new sounds that I mixed up at Bulbul Berlin. It was the afterglow of a full moon night and the energy was high!
Big up to the @we-kuyen family who curate many beautiful events and care for their guests and artists with open hearts.
The motto of the event was ‘Matriarchy' so before I did some research on it and found these quotes in this great article https://bit.ly/308QfnY:

“In matriarchies, mothers are at the centre of culture without ruling over other members of society.”

"The aim is not to have power over others and over nature, but to follow maternal values, ie to nurture the natural, social and cultural life based on mutual respect”.

"So, patriarchy: power over others. Matriarchy: power from within."

“The idea of women living a more egalitarian lifestyle, with strong community bonds and a healthy bartering system that is supportive rather than exclusive; wise rather than merely strong”.

“I don’t see it as a society that oppresses men; more a society that values instinct as much as intellect, receptivity as much as assertiveness, collaboration as much as individualism and empathy as much as objectivity.”

Wir haben Chrystal Chris gefragt:

- Was machst du gerade in Zeiten, in denen du nicht auflegen oder veranstalten kannst? -

✘ Mir war wirklich nicht langweilig. Ich bin so busy wie schon lange nicht mehr. Seit zwei Monaten wirke ich bei ‚United We Stream‘ mit. Ich bin zuerst in den Social Media Bereich eingestiegen und habe mich dann in die Awareness Arbeit eingebracht. Wir haben zusammen ein Awareness Manifest entwickelt, welches als Guideline für Clubs und Veranstalter_innen in Bezug auf die Programmgestaltung der UWS Streams dient: https://unitedwestream.berlin/awareness-manifest-united-we-stream/ 

Darüber hinaus habe ich meinen eigenen Birthday Stream zelebriert, war mit Saphear beim Schiffbruch Stream in der Bucht dabei und spiele am 30.05.20 beim Karneval der Kuriositäten im Polygon Club, ein Streaming Event, welches organisiert wird von Geholper und Gestolper.

Weiterhin planen wir eine neue Edition des Freundetreffen Festivals 2021, für welches ich dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal im Booking involviert war.

- Gibt es eine Story zu deinem Podcast? Oder war alles intuitiv? -

✘ Mir war irgendwie direkt klar, dass ich mit Efdemins 'Oh, Lovely Apperance of Death‘ starte, da mich der Track mit seinen Lyrics (Gedicht von Charles Wesley, 1780: Funeral Hymn For A Believer) total berührt. Da ich letztes Jahr einen schweren Verlust erleiden musste und ich seitdem immer wieder mit tiefer Trauer konfrontiert bin, reagiere ich dementsprechend auch auf entsprechende Inhalte und feinfühlige, transzendierende Sounds. 

Mit Jon Hopkin’s ’Singing Bowl’ schließt diese Reise dann perfekt an. Ich mag es, mit Ambient Sounds zu starten und dann das Tempo langsam zu erhöhen und mich aus der Dunkelheit ins Licht zu spielen. Wie zu hören ist, bin ich auch ein Fan von psychedelischen Spähren, die die Zuhörenden in fantasievolle Gedanken-Experimente eintauchen lassen. Mein Motto dabei: Hauptsache, es groovt! Genres können und dürfen sich dabei ruhig vermischen, denn es gibt so viele kleine Details, die Tracks verbinden. 

- Werden wir bald mal einen "Chrystal Chris Track" serviert bekommen? Ist in dieser Richtung was geplant? -

✘ Also, einen gibt es ja schon! 'Beary Me!‘ wurde letztes Jahr auf unserem hauseigenen Label ‚Kolibri Sinfonie‘ veröffentlicht: https://imusiciandigital.lnk.to/i4NMn
Im März diesen Jahres, kurz vor den ganzen gesellschaftlichen Restriktionen, habe ich meine erste Mini-Liveperformance 'Waves of the Unconsciousness‘ zusammen mit einer bildenden Künstlerin, die dazu Visuals gemacht hat, aufgeführt. Also, ja, ich produziere momentan eigene Tracks, aber sie brauchen alle noch einen gewissen Schliff und ein paar kleine Highlights, sodass sie released werden können. Ich sag jetzt mal erste EP noch 2020, Live Performance dann 2021! 

- Warum ist lila deine Lieblingsfarbe? -

✘ Für mich strahlt lila Leidenschaft, Wärme, Stärke, Schutz und Kraftquelle aus. Lila macht mir so ein wohliges Gefühl und lässt mich zu Hause fühlen.

Chrystal Chris present Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 192

Das Leben ist wie ein Schachtel Pralinen und Chrystal Chris’ Sets wie Tüte voller Gummibärchen. Es lohnt sich also reinzuhören bei Ihrem Set auf unserem Floor der Stolperplanke beim Karneval der Kuriositäten. Wenn ihr sie noch nicht kennt, gibt es hier eine kleine Beschreibung:

@chrystal-chris always wanted to become a DJ and now she is.
The passionate storyteller is always on the lookout for devoted
and soulful music. For her, DJ sets are a mosaic of changing
beats, rhythms and frequencies of life, retold as synthesis of
the perfect imperfection. Inner sparkles polarise between
fragility and strength, stagnancy and progression, despair and
hope. Within these states of being, crystals are growing and
create blissful music that makes people shine.

Vielen Dank auch an @diesdaskollektiv, für die tolle Organisation des Karnevals!

Chrystal Chris @ Karneval der Kursiositäten

The first time for me playing tunes outside after a long shutdown break for the opening of Mensch Meier's Datscha!

In continuation of my 'Growing Crystals' series, I called it 
𖧝 Crystals grooving inna di dacha 𖧝

Here is also an article about the event:
https://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/1140512.mensch-meier-sitzrave-statt-exzess.html

Crystals grooving inna di dacha | Mensch Meier, Berlin | August 2020

For Chrystal Chris, DJ sets are a mosaic of evolving beats, rhythms, and frequencies of life — woven together across genres and retold through the lens of perfect imperfection. 
Her genre-defying mixes blend Electronica, Hypnotic Techno, Breakbeat, and UK Bass — creating immersive soundscapes that transcend boundaries.

More musicophilic projects of Chrystal Chris:

@oceanofqi: Chrystal Chris brings life to this musical project, blending genres like Ambient, Glitch, Psydub, Dubtechno, and IDM to craft soundscapes for deep relaxation, mindful reflection, and gentle movement.

@Saphear: Partnering with violinist @Sawatzki, Chrystal Chris combines her DJ sets with live violin improvisation, delivering performances that are both dynamic and deeply emotive.
