memories of the best hypnotic moments somewhere at dissociate festival 2024

Inspired by – and dedicated to – Malek and Leticia ♥️♥️

Every time I consider to finally step down from the DJ booth with a bold statement another opportunity arises with a high promise to become the chance for an even bolder statement. And her I am, continuing.

So, what to play this time? One recent night gave me the inspiration: a music lovers' trio (me included) hanging at a friend's place while tripping smoothly on mushrooms (me excluded) was wondering which music would be the appropriate accompaniment.

I proposed my "Psychedelic Soul" set (it's here on my SC page) which I believe belongs to the most flawless and fluid mixes I ever managed to conduct. Somehow the flow happened almost by itself here, plus: "surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration". So why not get this spirit back into the club, surrounded by a Get Perlonized nature, family vibes, and a heavy monsoon-like love for music! Consequently, back home I delved into the shelves of club psychedelia that had remained untouched and dusty for quite a while.

At Zenner Club, I was very moved when quite a few people in the crowd told me that they had only come to hear me play and that my performance was the one they've been tripping to in the most pleasurable manner. Which confirms me that it is advisable never to follow a safe path in favour of always looking for an adventurous music journey (in this case with the echo of a mushroom feel). The extra fun part of the mission was: 30% of the tracks I mixed I had never played before.

These experiences keep me continuing while still looking for the ultimate boldest statement to step down from the DJ booth. It seems it didn't happen, not even this time.

Mixed + recorded live at "Get Perlonized", Zenner Club, Berlin, 04.10.24

MIKROMAL #019 by Josiane
[eng. below]

Josiane, geboren im Kongo und heute mit eigenem Modelabel (Roboam) in Berlin zuhause, bringt den Dancefloor zum schwingen. Schon bei unserer letzten Mikromal Clubnight hat sie mit ihrem energiegeladenen Sound begeistert – jetzt legt sie nach: Ein mitreißender Mix, der rhythmisch vibriert, Tempo hat und gleichzeitig wunderbar rund klingt. Zwischen Disco-Flair und Minimal-House-Tiefe spannt Josiane einen eleganten Bogen, der zum bewegen einlädt und zum Träumen verführt. Percussive Elemente und warme Flächen fließen organisch ineinander, während subtile Übergänge und treibende Beats das Set voranbringen. Kein Ton zu viel, kein Moment zu wenig – nur pure, tanzbare Beats. Ein Mix, der nicht nur Körper, sondern auch Geist in Bewegung bringt – charmant, dynamisch, absolut on point. Danke, Josiane, für diese Stunde voller Stil, Rhythmus und Herzblut.

Find Josiane here: @soundcloud.com/josi_ane

Dein Sound in einem Satz: 
Mein Sound besteht aus groovigen, pulsierenden Beats und sanften Melodien, die zusammen eine Atmosphäre schaffen, die sowohl ruhig als auch tanzbar ist, welches zwischen nachdenklichen Stimmungen und lebendigen, tanzbaren Rhythmen balanciert.

Peaktime oder Closing? 
Gerne Peaktime

Hefweizen oder Sekt auf Eis? [w/wo%]  
Alkoholfreier Sekt auf Eis

 Absolutes Gig-Highlight: 
Wenn die Musik, die Crowd und ich zu einer Einheit verschmelzen, sowohl in euphorischen Höhepunkten genauso wie in emotionalen Momenten, entsteht dieser besondere Energieaustausch. Der bringt mir nicht nur Gänsehaut, sondern zaubert mir auch das größte Lächeln ins Gesicht. Meistens stehe ich eher schüchtern und konzentriert hinter den Decks, aber genau in solchen Momenten spüre ich, warum ich das mache. 

Auf der wishlist für eine b2b action steht: 
Paperkraft, NIKS, A2iCE, Miszo

Diese/r DJ/Produzentïn hat dich definitiv zu House/Minimal gebracht: 
K-Hand, Delano Smith, Dauwd, Janeret, Baltra, K Alexi Shelby

Welche/s Genre/s catchen dich außerhalb elektronischer Musik? 
Blues, Soul, Indie Rock, Classic & Gospel

Josiane, born in Congo and now based in Berlin with her own fashion label, knows how to make the dancefloor move. Already a highlight at our last Mikromal Clubnight, she’s back with a bang: a captivating mix full of rhythm, drive, and a smooth flow that invites movement. With a sound that bridges disco flair and the depth of minimal house, Josiane creates an elegant arc—groovy, dreamy, and full of soul. Percussive elements and warm textures blend organically, while subtle transitions and driving beats keep the momentum alive. Not a note too many, not a moment too little—just pure, danceable beats. This mix moves not only the body but also the mind—charming, dynamic, and absolutely on point. Thank you, Josiane, for this hour of style, rhythm, and heartfelt energy.

Your sound in one sentence:
My sound consists of groovy, pulsating beats and gentle melodies that together create an atmosphere both calm and danceable, balancing between thoughtful moods and lively, rhythmic energy.

Peaktime or Closing?
Definitely peaktime.

Hefweizen or sparkling wine on ice? [w/wo%]
Non-alcoholic sparkling wine on ice.

Absolute gig highlight:
When the music, the crowd, and I merge into one—during euphoric highs as well as emotional moments—there’s this special energy exchange. It gives me goosebumps and the biggest smile on my face. I’m usually a bit shy and focused behind the decks, but in those moments, I deeply feel why I do this. 

On the wishlist for a b2b session:
Paperkraft, NIKS, A2iCE, Miszo

Which DJ/producer definitely got you into house/minimal?
K-Hand, Delano Smith, Dauwd, Janeret, Baltra, K Alexi Shelby

Which genres catch your ear outside of electronic music?
Blues, soul, indie rock, classical & gospel

Marble Bar is one of my favorite clubs, ever. A hidden gem in Detroit. I've been there since the beginning when they opened back up during Movement weekend in 2015 with a sunrise set from Thugfucker. The 4 point Void system on the patio is absolutely killer. Thought we were going to be there for a few hours, which turned in to 5.

A star amongst stars, Desyn has long been a prized artist in our community. His combination of atmospherics and groove is always a welcome sight on any lineup, but when he is combined with the rest of his Faciendo cohorts and Novaturient agency mates you know a memorable night is in store. From his time in the more progressive heights of house music, through to the underground forms he latterly has become synonymous for, Desyn has long been known as a barometer of quality that many gauge themselves against.
