💎 The Gemstone series is all about the artists we love, the ones we support and believe in.
With this series, we are going back to the roots of the Crépite philosophy: Discovering and sharing gems.

• "It was a great pleasure for me to do this podcast for Crépite, including some tracks I like, several remixes of Na Lagoa and movie dialogs as I used to do, to create a little journey for your ears. Hope you will enjoy. With love xx" - Xique-Xique

Poème de Olive O, interprétation du set

C'est comme un conte,
Une histoire qu'on chuchote quand les paupières s'enlacent 
Un murmure que l'on entends parfois quand on tends l'oreille aux forêts et aux pierres mouillées. 
 

C'est un mouvement qui s'éveille
Comme une vague qui prend forme quelque part entre le cœur et le poumons
Quelque chose qui respire pour nous
malgré nous 

--

C'est un cri qu'on ne dis pas où alors seulement avec le corps 
C'est une libération qui s'exprime, une justice qu'on se donne, une liberté que l'on se grave dans la peau à la nuit tombée 


C'est des mondes fantastiques et des jours meilleurs qu'on entrevois dans les interstices, quand l'ordre établi est allé se coucher, et qu'il ne reste que les résistantes au milieu des lumières qui clignotent  et du jour qui se lève 

--

C'est le bruit des frontières qui s'estompent et des réalités qui basculent. Une ligne qu'on gomme entre la fiction et la réalité, mais as t elle seulement un jour existé. 


C'est des peurs qui s'évanouissent dans la nuit, la brume et la musique, des découvertes qu'on fait sur soi quand personne ne regarde, et qu'on collectionne dans une boîte rangée sous le plexus. 

--

C'est une cabane perchée dans les cimes de notre inconscient, et qui se rit des tempêtes et des orages car elle parle aux nuages et est un refuge pour nos cœurs épuisés. 

C'est un songe qu'on a oublié d'oublier, une fois éveillé
Une image rémanente faite d'échos bizarres et doux que certaines appellent des rêves et que moi j'appelle de l'espoir

We all know this moment, you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

For Cuddle Cast #32 we asked Berlin based @ektoplast to record a set for us and he created a beautiful and relaxing journey for us.  

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly.

I'm really happy to share the recording of this moment with you <3 enjoy

Hello digital world

We’re delighted to welcome all our former, still present and future listeners to the continuing trip of LUSH LIFE in this new decade. After a more or less short term of recreation we’re back and challenging you with a brand new LUSH CAST compiled and mixed by @NINZE & @OKAXY (@ninzeokaxy). As you might agree also the notorious ketapop combo changed over the past years by exchanging the flutes for commonly jazz-known instruments but still sending you into rapture with his sounds. The first mixes of our virtually all time friends are online again as well. Stay curious about the further developments because there’s a lot coming this year. 

We still can’t stop running, nor you will?

You can find us now on → www.instagram.com/lush_life_le

LUSH CAST #011 - NINZE & OKAXY

Some members from @Love-Foundation and @HugRecords are living together in the Sierra Estrella Mountain Range in Portugal, where we are rebuilding an old abandoned village, called Foz da Cova.

We have a little music studio here and sometimes we have befriended musicians coming by for a visit.

Sometimes these friends play music for us and sometimes we press the record button when they do so. 

This is the first of those times.

Our first Pod da Cova comes from @dorianfecht who spend November and December with us in the mountains. Dorian normally lives in Dresden, where he is part of Love Foundation and @Zirkulation. He will take you on a journey to this long forgotten place and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lyrics:
Hills. Trees. Farms. Cottages. Landscapes from dreams. Breathtaking dreams. Idyllic life in harmony with nature in whose bosom it flourished. It would take your breath away. East of Arganil in Portugal, Foz da Cova is its name. And that is where the fires came in 2017. The fires roared. People fled. There wasn't time to save much. In a span of days and weeks, there remained only memories of how life once was there. An almost arid landscape bears witness to the destruction. From this desolation and this devastation and this tragedy an energy breathed itself into a group of people who dared to imagine bringing the magic and the poetry of these lands back, to imagine life finding its way back here with a little help. A heterotopia. This is where I came, this is where I am, this is what I saw, this is what I felt. Sublimating boundaries. Erasing borders. Entwining narratives. Myth becoming real, reality becoming myth. There is beauty here. There is adventure here. And, there is hope. Immerse yourself in these landscapes, live for a moment with these people, dream a little for yourself and for them and for the world. A story whose beginning we know. A story being told. A story being lived. A story which is still coming into being. Foz da Cova is its name.

1st Pod Da Cova - Dorian Fecht

Berlin-based, French-Armenian sound explorer blending emotionally rich atmospheres with a playful, genre-fluid approach. From upbeat rhythms to beatless meditations, classical textures to soulful oldies — heartfelt mixes that wander freely, embracing surprises along the way.
