*Songs With Words* — It's been three long years since I've released a set and while I don't know what I've been waiting for, luckily something about this one felt a bit different. During a week of relentless work, this was my first moment of play. As the clock struck midnight on Tuesday evening we were in the midst of a wild ride: from Diplo and Carlita at sunset, to Unders at sunrise, I had the pleasure of bridging the night amongst a sea of friends and familiar faces. Sometimes in the land of singing computers, it's nice to hear a few songs with words.

🎧  Phil Weé presents "Let's dive into music" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 270 🎧 

With a little delay, we are finally able to present a special podcast to you today, which absolutely deserves the title timeless. But first things first. We're talking about Phil Wee, a wanderer between genre with a love of detail. Disharmonies, genre boundaries and tracks that can't be mixed together are not part of his vocabulary. It is not without reason that he is a member of https://soundcloud.com/kol-la-te-ral , which regularly releases mixes that you'll find nowhere else. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already. 

In today's mix, Phil takes us on a relaxed and varied journey through the genres of electronic music. The mix is structured in an exemplary way and there is a lot to discover. You just have to get involved. That's a good thing, because in today's chaotic times, a little bit of calming down and focusing on the inner side of ourselves is just what we need. So let's dive into music!

How this mix came about and what his thoughts behind it are, she reveals to us as usual in our short interview:

[ °°INTERVIEW°° ]

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I started playing bass in a crust/grindcore band in the mid 90s at the request of a good friend, without ever having picked up a bass before. 
In the early 2000s, things calmed down with post-punk and alternative and we started mixing handmade band sound with electronica with friends. This brought together different styles such as indie, dub, break beats and drum and bass/jungle. Above all, jamming live gave me a deeper understanding of musical moods with repetitive sounds and beats. And the desire for new musical styles. The main entry points were the then Radio Multikulti from RBB and WDR5 Radio Funkhaus Europa (now COSMO)... and then more and more the Internet. In the mid-2000s, I started DJing in order to get all my impressions out in a mix. I really like these energising moments in tracks, when you somehow can't understand it with your head, but it still carries you on euphorically.


✔️ In your opinion, what is the perfect afterhour for you? 

A nice, relaxed atmosphere, places to chill... the party stressers have already left, and those who are there are full of the evening and in agreement with their own consumption, in the fading afterglow... peaceful and fulfilled.

✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix?

For three years now, one global crisis has followed another and since the brutal terrorist attack by Hamas on Israeli and foreign civilians, the internet has been overflowing with fake news and open hatred. And many DJs/people from the dance scenes are also taking part. I think it's important to switch off, take a deep breath and check your own reactions. And conscientious fact checking and no pathetic fake news. The mix invites you to slow down. So let's dive into music!

✔️ With recordings of gigs: How did you feel about gigs in general?

Usually much more euphoric in real time than when listening back. Sometimes I don't care about small mistakes, sometimes I can't listen to a mix afterwards, let alone put it out. I'm generally pretty self-critical.

Phil Weé presents "Let's dive into music" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 270

Before we put out our first official release on Acid Tourism, the "Acid Tourist" insists we take you on a little detour and visit some re-imaginations that we have been working on these past years. We will start this side-expedition of the musical kind and travel back to my homeland, Iceland, with an artist that has been an inspiration through the years, Björk,  and an homage to her song "Always Full of Love.” 

Toward the end of the pandemic, I had the pleasure of working in the studio with my Brother, @RohanAlyan, at his Modern Art Theory gallery in Miami.

Together, we captured its essence and redressed it into a serious peak-time banger.

“There are ten levels of prayer. Above them all is song."
—Hasidic saying

As we try to mend our crisis in meaning; wondering why life can sometimes grow so heavy and the fractures between us threaten to split us apart I believe music doesn’t just carry hope; it becomes hope. Illuminating the road for us, and for every wandering soul who needs only a glimpse of love and community to find the way back home.

To my perfectionist ear, this set holds a few “mistakes” I could have smoothed away—but as I listened back I thought: if what I’m trying to share is the sound of life, I should let those hiccups stay. Anyway I hope this music brings you even a fraction of the joy it’ gives me. May every mis-strike and bright passage invite you to keep exploring, keep daring, and keep moving your booty.

With love & gratitude always:

The tranquillity of Habitas Tulum gave me the opportunity to hunt for the peaceful tracks in my broad collection and follow flow on whatever felt good. A truly beautiful sunset evening of a memorable trip to Paradise. Much appreciation to Eduardo Castillo for bringing me out for my first Tulum experience. <3

This mix is a special one - we’ve been collecting these tracks over the years, crafting a soundtrack for a place we love but that does not exist. 

♪┏(°.°)┛┗(°.°)┓┗(°.°)┛┏(°.°)┓ ♪

The space garden is a place of creation, where anything can happen! Enter this world with us as you’re enjoying a silly moment with friends or taking an adventure in nature. You might find a rainbow-colored monkey (or two), a rock band, or even some aliens visiting for the day. 

We hope you enjoy the trip <3
