I haven't felt good for 8-9 years now
I called one of my close friends when my problems started piling up
I said, "Listen, I haven't felt good for 8-9 years now"
He got angry all of a sudden, flared up
I'm guessing he bounced where he sat
He said, "Get up now. Come over"
I said, "Yeah I'll do that but I can't get there quickly
'Cause you know what, I haven't felt good for 8-9 years now"
"So be it" he said, "Come over even if it's late"
I went there slowly, taking my time
I said, "So, I'm here"
"What's wrong with you?" he asked me
I said "Like I told you, I haven't felt good for 8-9 years now"
"In that case," he said, "It's clear what we're gonna do with you"
He went to the kitchen, fetched a chopper from the drawer
He wrapped the chopper in his grandma's scarf
And then he put raw meat on top of it
Gave it to me
I said "What am I supposed to do with these?"
He said, "Go put these under your pillow
Open all the windows
Then do whatever the fuck you want
You'll get better"
I asked him, "Are you sure?"
He said, "I am"
I said, "Listen, I haven't felt good for 8-9 years now
How can this make it better?"
"I don't know" he said, "That's what I always do
And that's what I recommend to troubled people"
I thanked him and left

Somewhere Over The Brainbow # 4 - Esmaeili & ZHTA [guest mix]

Esmaeili - Barfuß [at] Beate Uwe [ LIVE-SPECIAL ]

Recording date: 29.01.2023
Venue: Beate Uwe
Event: Beate Barfuß 

https://soundcloud.com/jan_sml is joining our LIVE-SPECIAL series (soundcloud.com/afterhour-sounds/sets/live-special) straight from the fabolous berlin based club @beateuwe. Enjoy the recording.

Enclosed our interview:

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

    My musical taste has always been quite broad, so it's hard for me to name specific genres or artists. When it comes to electronic music, however, I have long felt at home in downtempo with its many facets. It's always important to have a good portion of boom and a lot of creak. In my own productions, of which there are also some in the set, I like to play with voices. Especially experimenting with rap has been a lot of fun lately!

• What do you think makes a good afterhour?

   Definitely the people! Whether it's sun and park or curtains and fog is up to you ;) But in any case, it's important to me to be attentive to individuals, especially in larger groups.

• For recordings of gigs: How did you feel about the gig?

   The set is certainly not flawless in some places, but the atmosphere in the Beate Uwe was once again terrific! The sock party always brings a very special homeliness. Perfect to end a Sunday with your loved ones and start the new week sleepy.

Esmaeili - Barfuß [ at ] Beate Uwe [ Live - Special ]

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Esmaeili (@jan_sml) & ZHTA (@zhta)

Esmaeili (@jan_sml) and @zhta both come from West Germany, met in Istanbul and are based in Berlin. Ever since, they share a common love for downtempo music and various spheres of slower sounds.

This set is a live recording from the solidarity party for beloved Mensch Meier, in an effort to help the club survive a few more months before it sadly closes at the end of the year. Despite this sad background, it was a great pleasure for the couple to enjoy another sunny and sweaty Sunday afternoon in the Meier garden.

After a dark night of fast and straightforward techno, @esmaeili and @Zhta turned down the tempo and fired up the afterhour dancefloor for two fog and bass-heavy hours. Several wheat beers were emptied and people danced in little paddling pools. 

Thanks to all the wonderful dancers who took part, to @anselmus-berlin for the invitation and to the whole @menschmeier_berlin crew for making the magic happen all these years ♡

I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I did!

🎶 Nico Tober presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.279 🎶

Der Hildesheimer KataHaifisch Kurator und Labelhead Nico Tober steht schon seit einiger Zeit auf unserer Afterhour Sounds Wunschliste. 

Hypnotische Melodien und deepe Soundarrangements verbinden sich in seinen Mixen stets zu einem besonderen Hör- und Tanzvergnügen. Dabei verbindet er gekonnt verschiedene Subgenre miteinander. Egal ob Neo Disco, knarziger Indie Dance, downsnappy Sound oder melodischer Techno, alles ist erlaubt und entfesselt erst im Miteinander eine besondere Sogwirkung. So auch bei seinem für uns eingespielten Mix, der in die gleiche Kerbe schlägt und nur so vor Groove und Energie strotzt. 

Anschnallen bitte! 

🙏 Tausend Dank Nico für diesen energiegeladenen Mix. 🚀

KataHaifisch Podcast 369 - ZHTA & Esmaeili

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Arturo (@arturo_grooves)

Arturo is a multifaceted artist, known equally for his prowess as a DJ, selector, curator, and event organizer. His passion for his craft is palpable in every endeavor he undertakes, driven by a profound love for the art of music.

Hailing originally from the Caucasus region, Arturo's lineage is a colorful tapestry of Gypsy, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Russian heritage. His journey in music began at a tender age when he migrated to Germany as a young child. It was there, amidst the vibrant cultural landscape, that he took his first tentative steps into the world of rhythm and melody, his tiny feet dancing to the beats emanating from the screens of MTV and Viva.

While his musical tastes initially spanned a broad spectrum, Arturo's affinity for gritty, pulsating sounds soon emerged. It was during his time at the University of Heidelberg and amidst the electric atmosphere of Saarbrücken's techno scene that he found his true calling in synthetic and psychedelic sounds.

Since those formative years, Arturo has been a fixture behind the decks at numerous open-air events, raves, and club gatherings in and around Mannheim and Heidelberg. His involvement in various youthful rave collectives marked the beginning of a journey that would lead him to the forefront of the electronic music scene.

A pivotal moment in Arturo's career came with his association with the creative music collective "Slow Bar" and his residency at Frankfurt's esteemed event series, "Kabinett der Kuriositäten." These experiences further honed his skills and expanded his artistic horizons, paving the way for his relocation to Berlin.

In Berlin's dynamic musical landscape, Arturo has left an indelible mark, gracing the stages of renowned clubs such as "Klunkerkranich," "Beate Uwe," "Remise," and the legendary "Kater Blau." His sonic palette defies categorization, blending elements of Slowrave, Flowwave, Ketapop, and a myriad of other genres into a seamless tapestry of sound.

For Arturo, there are no rules in the realm of music, only boundless creativity and limitless expression. His sets are a testament to this philosophy, weaving together moments of magic with pulsating, progressive beats. From smashy and sexy grooves to trippy soundscapes and bumpy drum patterns, Arturo's signature style is characterized by its versatility and innovation.

In a world where genres are mere constructs, Arturo stands as a beacon of musical freedom, pushing boundaries and transcending limitations with each electrifying performance.

💿 Kickstart 💿

Heute haben wir einen Newcomer aus der Hauptstadt zu Gast auf KataHaifisch. Tobi Jos ist quasi noch ein unbeschriebenes Blatt, weiß aber musikalisch schon recht genau, wohin die Reise gehen soll. Sein Sound ist vocallastig und spritzig. Energetische Synths und knarzige Bässe dominieren das Klangbild und schaffen eine treibende Gesamtatmosphäre. So bouncen wir doch gern ins Wochenende.

Vielen Dank, weiterhin viel Erfolg und viel Spaß beim Genießen ♥️

KataHaifisch Podcast 370 - Tobi Jos

I'm really stoked to share the recording of my set at Kater Blau from this past Sunday afternoon!

Thanks to all the great people who surrounded me with some of the best energy I have ever felt & to all my friends who came to support - I love you long time ♡

Lastly, the largest of thank you's to the two who made this come full circle @caleesi & @sarahkreis

It took some time, but here's the set from @zhta and me that we played 2 weeks ago in Abstrakt. We've had so much fun with the most loveliest people around: So many friends and others we had the pleasure of getting to know. Thanks @downvienna and @mitdirfestival for having us ❤️

Due to... reasons (no pointing fingers 😘), we had to (partially) re-record the set. And just before handing over to @reyneke, there was a solid amount of Sekt spilled on the decks (not our fault ☝️), which made us play the last tracks on a CDJ that was standing on its side.

"Ahoi Freunde & Freundinnen!
Lasst eure Gedanken verpflanzen, 
im Groove von 3000 Grad, Afterhour Sounds und den Sumpfkrügen tanzen.
Lasst euer Hirn schunkeln 
und von hell bis dunkel munkeln.
Lasst eure Hände und Füße lachen und Sachen machen an die sie vorher nicht mal dachten.
Lasst euch fallen, 
ins grinsende Bad der tobenden Meute, aus Gestern und Morgen wird Heute.
Wellen aus Bass beflügeln die fliegenden Fische und gleiten gemeinsam - nie einsam..."

Dear Tiger friends, our next podcast comes from Maria Theresia von Eberg. As a promoter and part of Afterhour Sounds, she is an integral part of the downtempo scene. The set is a recording from the Abstrakt Club and as a little extra Marie has written us a poem <3 

Have fun with Striped #15 

„Dunkel war’s, die Sonn schien heller, 
Beat-bedeckt die dunkle Flur,
als die finster/-Bande mit gleißend greller 
Laune rief Tumult hervor.

Drinnen tanzten schwebend Leute,
Still ins Klanggespräch vertieft,
Als dort lang verstummte Ekstase
Völlig aus dem Ruder lief.

Das verzweifelt-fröhlich Jauchzen,
Drang hinaus ins Frühlingslicht,
Frohlockte mit vertrauten Bässen,
Dabei doch mit neu’m Gesicht.

Bunt erstrahlt im roten Schein,
Als Traumkulisse für (sparkling) Wine
Der Salon, um fein zu flanieren,
Realität & Sorgen zu pausieren.

Klänge von Aufbruch, Hochzeitsfeierei,
Und längst vergess’nen Oldie-Heiteitei,
Denn heut sei uns nur Spaß Programm, 
Mit guter Laune & Ramtamtam.“

Striped #15 - Maria Theresia V. Eberg (Live Special - Mystic Creatures @ Abstrakt)

Here is my recording of probably my favorite party of the year!

It's too nice to play for friends and familiar, beloved faces and our event at Glashaus shows me every year why I love collecting music to show others. Playing from 04:30 to 07:00 ist probably my most favorite time, taking some of the energy of the night and transitioning it into the new day with more of a melodious sound. 
With Marie (@maria-theresia-von-eberg) and Maria & Mathieu (@marieu-heimlich) we had the best guests we could have wished for. It was great with you.

I often think to myself that I should always play new songs, but lately I just try to play what I want to hear at that moment without letting myself be guided too much by any distracting thoughts. So not too much new stuff in this one but I still hope you like it. 

Bussi baba,
Moritz
