Seasidetrip 90 | laid in the sand beside the sea | Zone+ & Usif

Ahoy
your captain http://soundcloud.com/rolandson can’t believe it and is overwhelmed - over 5.000 followers on sound cloud, more than 1.000 hearts on facebook, 3 wonderful EPs and today mix number 90th sets sail - I never thought that it comes to that point. I feel so happy about every follower & listener, about every like, reshare & comment, that I can’t describe what happens most of the time deep inside of me - THANK YOU ALL - that you share that passion with me. music brought us together and keeps us closer. and the story of that mix joins up so much and makes me smile as big as I can . . . welcome my dear friends and wonderful humans being https://soundcloud.com/zone-usif .

the first time they heard a seasidetrip-mix was, when they finished her gig in Bahrain with https://soundcloud.com/yokoo . they went back to their home and the sun was a rise, YokoO plugged in his Ipod and played Seasidetrip-mix by Paco and it was the first time they heard this type of slow music. Zone+ & Usif get inspired by that pitched down music and they felt like that they are »laid in the sand beside the sea« and watched the sunrise. what a story so far - that’s what the Seasidetrip stands for . . . aye - so listen and try to capture that feeling 

Zone+ & Usif
»this set we made is special, because it has most of our unreleased productions we made especially for the seasidetrip. for us it is the first time we play a set in slower form and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did - much love to the Captain for creating such an amazing platform where artists can play and try to make their thoughts & feelings audible.«

"A Tale of two cities" by Hrag Mikkel

As the year winds up, I am happy to share with all of my followers, my recording from Garbicz Festival earlier this year. 
Playing at Garbicz was definitely one of my highlights of the Europe tour in the summer, as well as the full year. 
It's always been one of the festival's i've dreamt of playing, and I cannot thank Jose Noventa and the entire Juicy Bar team enough for having me on their beautiful stage and welcoming me into their family! 
I had the opportunity to play with many acts that I admire and friends who I hold very dear! 
Eternally grateful, and hope to do it all over again in 2019! 

Seasons Greetings, 
T

"Back From Tulum" by Zuma Dionys

art:cast °66 | Daniel Bortz

With his art:cast contribution the Augsburg-based DJ and producer Daniel Bortz keeps it extremely exclusive and comes up with a vinyl-only mix. Known for his eclectic musical taste and taking people through various mainly electronic music genres Daniel's approach for the art:cast differs in many ways but still makes sense. Having compiled a rather deep podcast Bortz takes the listener back to his electronic music roots and technically to his early DJ days with providing a vinyl mix that keeps it classy almost classically Deep-House-esque over the course of the almost 90 minute lasting musical excursion.

Mónada Brahma 018 I Sarkis Mikael I Alchemy Of Change

Aloha dear family.. we've a brand new Mónada Brahma podcast for you up to listen & download! 
Our brother Sarkis Mikael recorded an amazing mix for us on his last show in Los Angeles at Vector – Be excited about this very dope journey with MB018 : Sarkis Mikael : Alchemy Of Change.

Sarkis is a global ambassador for deep house music based in Los Angeles, and has taken crowds from Miami to Dubai on journeys of physical abandon and inner discovery via his thumping, therapeutic, globally-influenced rhythms and melodies. As founder of Deep House LA and co-founder of the Beatport top-five label NCTRNL, Sarkis has worked to establish a foundational community for deep house through his conviction that the right beats and the right state of mind can heal and transform us. Sarkis’ releases on Sol Selectas, Underyourskin, Dream Culture, Mónada, and other labels of note touch dance music’s subterranean reaches, drawing out the listener’s emotional core through organic instrumentation and synthetic exploration– and his live sets demonstrate deep house’s potential to create community through the movement of sweating bodies and the connection between open minds.

The Alchemy of change - Spirituality can be defined as a philosophy of growth or change, benevolence and compassion. An understanding of a more inclusive interconnected perspective on life. A worldview, or world-experience, of self-improvement with a focus on awareness. It is this understanding of spirituality that also naturally leds to veganism, just as for Sarkis. He started being vegan on the 15th of February, 2016 after watching the Earthlings documentary which changed not only his diet but also his life. „Since I was a kid, I felt guilty eating animals and this freed my conscience like nothing else. Other than the spiritual healing, I’ve never felt physically and mentally better. My sleeping quality improved, my skin color changed, I have more energy and no more migraines.“ 

Many struggle to see the connection and importance of a vegan philosophy within a wider understanding of spirituality. Yet it does not take much, once we let go of preconceptions, to realize veganism is the path of least harm - to animals, the environment, and humans. Veganism is not only a diet, it is compassion and non-violence in practice. 
Remember, there is no seperation between all living creations, in the essence there is no better, there is no worse. We all come from the same source and there is no excuse in violence against anyone of us!

„Be the change you want to see in the world“ – Mahatma Gandhi

The visionary cover art is as usually provided by our dear friend and shining soul Radka Tiarksova. Her unique art accompanies us throughout our Mónada Brahma series as we believe that a combination of different styles of art leads our senses to expand, feel & see the whole picture within. Her art is as lively, colorful & profound as the life we call reality and guides us directly into a joyful, heart-opening and surprisingly kaleidoscopic view on our existence.

Now let's dive together into an ocean of frequencies in...
Love, love, love & nothing else as LOVE 

::::::::::::::::::::::::::

„Thank you Monada for the feature. I had such a good time digging into my groovy downtempo tracks for a Cozy Thursday night with Vector LA family! My collaboration track “Rapture” with brother Hrag Mikkel from Monada’s Parousia compilation fit in just perfectly.“ - Sarkis

sound(ge)cloud 136 --- End of show Special by doob & janoma (https://soundcloud.com/doobdoob & https://soundcloud.com/janoma) - Das Ende kommt zum Schluss
 
Ich finde jedes tolle Projekt, gerade wenn es vom Herzen kommt, sollte ein würdiges und schönes Ende haben. Deswegen habe ich mich vor ca. 3 Monaten dazu entschlossen meine Aktivitäten bei Afterhour Sounds und vor allem meine kleine, aber doch sehr feine Podcast-Reihe sound(ge)cloud zu beenden. Anfangs ist diese Entscheidung irgendwie sehr spontan und aus dem Bauch heraus entstanden. Aber nun nach ca. 3 Monaten muss ich sagen ist es eine gute Entscheidung für mich und schafft Platz für Neues … weil Stillstand ist irgendwie nicht so mein Ding. 

Die Gründe wieso ich keine Lust mehr habe so viel Zeit in dieses elektronische Musikdings zu stecken sind vielfältig und eigentlich auch nicht wirklich wichtig. Viel wichtiger ist was ich aus den 5 Jahren mitnehme konnte. Das sind auf jeden Fall viele tolle Momente mit fantastischer Musik. Viele tiefgehende Gespräche mit Menschen die zu Freunden geworden sind. Verrückte Erlebnisse die man eigentlich nur auf Techno-Partys erleben kann. Ich würde sagen ALLES in ALLEM und in SUMME --- Bewusstseinserweiternd.

Für den letzten Podcast war eigentlich auch sofort klar … dass hier nur Doob & Janoma in frage kommen können. Sound(ge)cloud und Janosch und Andi sind eine ganz besondere Beziehung. Ihr erster gemeinsamer Auftritt war auch gleichzeitig mein erster Podcast. Und was gibt es Besseres als mit dem aufzuhören mit dem man angefangen hat. So schließt sich der Kreis und das ganze wird eine runde Sache 😃 5 Jahre sound(ge)cloud und 5 Jahre doob & janoma … eine tolle Experience 💖

Und wie immer bei Doob & Janoma ist der Podcast genau auf den Punkt. Ihre selbst gesetzte Mission für diesen Podcast war „zeitlose Schönheit mit Tiefgang“ für mich zu kreieren. Hey ihr Schnuckis, ich kann dazu nur sagen „mission accomplished“. Besser kann man nicht aufhören …

Neben Andi und Janosch möchte ich mich natürlich bei allen fantastischen Künstlern bedanken, die diese Reihe mit ihrer grenzenlosen Liebe zur elektronischen Tanzmusik zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht haben. Es war in 136 Folgen kein Podcast dabei der nicht genau für diesen Moment gepasst hätte --- IHR seid einfach SPITZE.

Und ganz am Ende geht natürlich ein Dickes DANKESCHÖN an meine Hörer weltweit die über die vielen Jahre treu dieser Reihe gefolgt sind geliked, repost und kommentiert haben. Es hat mir große Freude bereitet für euch die Perlen aus dem Dschungel der elektronischen Musik zu tauchen … ich hoffe ihr hattet die ein oder andere großartige Stunde damit.

Und wie ein guter Freund von mir immer sagte, wenn ich mich von ihm verabschiedet habe:

An scheener Tag, a scheens Wochenend und a scheens Leben … in diesem Sinne … Euer Elektro Uwe

Dandara's Interpretation | 43

This is the third episode of a true story of a school trip to a lost world… East Germany just before the wall came down… (episodes 1 and 2 in Witchtapes 46 and 47)

We were happy to leave the town Erfurt behind us, where my classmates and I had spent our very first night on the other side of the iron curtain.  For all of us Erfurt was an eerie ghost town with empty streets, covered in thick fog and the air was so polluted that some of my classmates even had trouble to breathe.  On top of that, the hotel was a shabby place with brown tap water and horrible food, including a murky substance which was supposed to be yoghurt (which I ate but most of my classmates went on a voluntary hunger strike, probably hoping things would get better the next few days).  Actually, we felt so uncomfortable in Erfurt that we all wanted to go back to Belgium.
It was a long and shaky bus ride from Erfurt to Dresden in the outermost south-eastern corner of the German Democratic Republic.  Actually, we rode on a very bumpy concrete highway which had been built by the Nazi regime in the 1930s and hadn’t seen much repairs in the next 50 years.  The mood of the schoolgirls was getting better while the sun started to shine.  And we were slowly getting used to the sight of all these primitive Trabant cars on the road.  But when entering the City of Dresden, something broke down in the front suspension of the bus (it turned out that it couldn’t be repaired in East Germany, which meant that a few days later the bus would crawl at a slow pace from Dresden to Berlin before finally getting the much-needed repairs in West-Berlin).  When entering Dresden, I was shocked to see that there were still some buildings in ruin and visibly blackened by the allied fire-bombing of 1945, which was already 42 years earlier.  
Luckily, after getting out of the bus it became immediately clear that this city was a surprisingly vibrant and pleasant place.  Up to that moment, we didn’t interact much with the locals.  We thought that was pretty normal in communist countries, where people from the West (even 17 year old schoolgirls) were regarded suspiciously and we thought it was more or less forbidden for the locals to talk with tourists from the West.  And we also believed that the population of all communist countries had been brainwashed with propaganda, so I couldn’t imagine that it was possible to have a pleasant conversation with the locals.
Luckily, in Dresden we quickly found out this was not the case.  To our great surprise, the local people were really nice and friendly towards us… and visibly warmer and more laid-back than the West-Germans.  Their mentality was even pretty similar to the Belgian style, so it was very easy to connect and we chatted (in our broken German) with lots of lovely and sweet teenage girls and boys, who were apparently very eager to get in touch with foreigners.  This made our stay in Dresden very pleasant and all the Belgian schoolgirls started to feel very much at ease.  The hotel was way better than the one back in Erfurt and although they also served the same peculiar substance named ‘yoghurt’, all my class mates finally got hungry again and spontaneously gave up their hunger strike.
The town of Dresden was really beautiful, at least the part of the historical center which had already been rebuilt… some old building were still being reconstructed while the most famous church (the Frauenkirche) was still a pile of rubble back then.  Actually, reconstruction of this church would only start after the reunification of Germany and fortunately this beautiful monument has now been fully restored in all its glory, symbolically completing the rise from the ashes of the beautiful and vibrant city of Dresden…

Witchtape #65 | Guest Wizz : Joep Mencke

That morning, the little witch woke up from the pleasant sound of the singing birds in her forest.  With her eyes half-open and still feeling drowsy 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 morning rituals and her daily inspection round of the forest, the girl said goodbye to the animals, and flew into the unknown.  She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  To her great surprise, she was unable to make any speed and she was just gently floating Northwards along with the clouds, which meant this witch coven would take place in a nearby area.  She flew over green lowlands with several big rivers and on her left side she had an excellent view of the North Sea.  After a while, she spotted a crowd of yellow daffodils, thousands dancing in the breeze, along a lake beneath the trees.
She landed gracefully next to the yellow flowers and noticed that there actually was a line of daffodils leading deeper into the forest.  She followed the winding treasure trail until she arrived in a small clearing with a dry moss carpet, where the 2 other witches were already waiting for her, one silver-haired elder witch of over 500 years of age and one black-haired teenage girl from the Middle-East who she had already met at the foot of Mount Hermon a few months earlier (in Witchtape #59).  After the customary group hug, the three women got dressed for the occasion (the dress code was purple) and started with a long series of mystic ceremonies, before shucking off their purple dresses and performing an hours-long ecstatic dance until the camp fire petered out.  It was already well past midnight and the 3 naked witches huddled closely together in the cold wind (which had turned to the North-West while reaching gale force).  On top of that, melting snow started to fall and the temperature dropped to zero degrees.  The teenage witch started to shiver from the cold (she’s used to a way warmer climate) so the two European witches decided to heat her up.  She laid down on the dry moss carpet, while the little witch warmed up her hands and the senior witch did the same with her feet, before warming up the other parts of her body.  Witches can produce prodigious amounts of heat with their hands and soon the body of the Arabic witch started to glow from top to toe.  The witches took turns and repeated the same treatment, until all 3 were emitting so much heat that the melting snow first turned to rain, and finally the rain drops just evaporated before they could hit the ground.  Together with the witches, the whole forest seemed to have become energized and at daybreak spring was clearly in the air, with all the birds - after their morning song - frenetically started building nests, getting ready for yet another epic year in the forest…

@akumandra hosted a live global radio between April 10 and 12. Since my Mezcla for the label I've been a big fan of their projects. I was more than happy to contribute a 1h mix among so many of my favorite artists such as @andreasbalicki, @arutani, @eli_official, @elifmusique, @hobta, @kapoormusic & @hvitling, @mateo-a, @mommusic, @ste-vie-1, @sarahkreis, @vicnorman, @zone-plus and many more. 

We live dire times in the coronavirus isolation and I want to share some music with you all from the warmth and comfort of my home. We absolutely need to stay positive and I think that music is a large part of what gets us through times like these. 

I hope you enjoy. Sending much love to all of you!

In this very exceptional times, we deliver you a fabulous mix by Sahra Bass, a talented djane & producer from Berlin. The mix is enframed by some incentive words by Angela Merkel to brighten up your days of lockdown, wherever you might be. <3

Sahra Bass is a Berlin born and based Djane with arabic roots on her paternal side. Having listened to her father playing the Darbuka when she was little (not to say the steering wheel of his car when he was driving), she became fascinated with the power of rhythm from very early on. This, combined with the fact that she has always found herself being mesmerized by the spirit of nature (notably mountains), gave birth to her passion for organic, earthy sound. She has been DJing since 2018 only, but feels like she has finally found a tool to express her enthusiasm for vibrant rhythms and uplifting melodies, while creating a space for a community to find common ground in love and abundance through music. In her mixes, you may find oriental vibes and driving percussion grooves as well as deep bass lines and emotional tunes that carry a sense of melancholy. Sahra Bass’s heartbeat further reverberates in her current downtempo duo project “Bassara”, in which she partners up with artist Reyneke to produce slow deep and melodic, yet danceable compositions. They have released a few tracks so far with labels such as Amselcom and WAYU - and much more is in the works…! <3
