DJ-Set @Damensalon (11.11.22)

🌞💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

I hope you're ready for a slice of sun-drenched, peak-time bliss because this week for the Sunset Lovers, Berlin-based producer, DJ, label manager, and teacher well-known as Noema takes you on a fantastic journey through the untamed wilderness of Balearic Beat, featuring hidden Gems and golden classics.

Looking back at more than two and a half decades of DJing, Noema is a true master at the decks. Constantly refining his craft during a former 10-year residency at the legendary Berlin Club institution Wilde Renate, Noema developed a unique style and nothing short of impressive abilities.
By combining profound selections, fascinating dramaturges, and exceptional mixing skills, his DJ sets take the audience to ecstatic highs beyond their wildest imagination.

Noema's career as a producer and label owner started with a bang when he released his very first record, the African Shakedown EP. His edit of Ata Kak ‘Daa Nyinaa’, a stone-cold fox of an anthem, became a massive hit instantly. The record was considered one of the hottest records of 2013 by FACT Mag and was on heavy rotation with Soul Clap, Axel Boman, TEED, Erol Alkan, and Psychemagik...

In his studio work, he has released six very well-received EPs as well as collaborated with electronic music heavyweights like Dj Dixon, Daniel Wang, Sabo and Grammy winners Basement Jaxx.

In the winter of 2023, Noema released his debut Album, which is part of his comprehensive art piece called ''ONE''. The piece is an ''Interactive Performance Installation'' and gives testimony of Noema's holistic artistic vision and abilities. 

The original album is accompanied by two remix EPs featuring artists like Lauer, Kalabrese, Mehmet Aslan, Shubostar, Panthera Krause, Lovefingers, Kelpe, and Nicola Noir.

It is impossible to categorize Noema's sound in common genre terms. Without borders, he creates his very own and truly unique blueprint of contemporary club music. His eclectic music selection flows freely between all kinds of electronic music. Between Downtempo and House Music, he adds Brazilian tunes, Turkish edits, Disco jams, Balearic rides, Folk-Rock, Pop, Jazz, and everything he finds worth sharing. Noema's aim as a DJ is to find the perfect soundtrack for the moment, may it be a dark Berlin basement in winter or a day party at the beach in Mexico. Mostly psychedelic and always soulful, sensual, surprising, rich in percussion, and ranging from a good old rave to groovy beach vibes, his sets are always unique and tailor-made for the occasion.

On his regular tours, he plays shows in London, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles, Tulum, Sao Paulo, Paris, Istanbul, Moscow, Ibiza, Mykonos and many more places all around the world.

Through his strong affinity to slow grooves and contemporary electronic music from South America, he developed the „Cozmico“ concept, which connects the „new“ downbeat scene around artists like Voodoohop, Nicola Cruz, and himself to Cosmic and Afro Style of DJs like Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda. 

Furthermore, Noema is the co-founder, artistic director, and A&R of The Magic Movement label, home of artists like Oceanvs Orientalis, Nicola Cruz, Xique-Xique, Crussen, Dreems, Luca Musto, Yor Kultura etc. Founded in 2013, it was one of the first labels that supported the new downbeat scene. The focus of the label lies on all kinds of percussive and psychedelic dance music. 

On this journey through lush grooves and heavenly melodies, you will uncover hidden treasures from the depths of Noema's sonic garden. Join us in the next hour and 40 minutes for an alternative music experience where the music pulses with ecstatic energy and with Noema's magic the dance floor turns into the gateway to heaven.

Big love to all and huge thanks to Noema for his contribution.💛💖

Versteckt hinter Busch und Drang, mit tanzenden Füßen unterm sausenden Zuge versammelten sich einst ein paar Menschleins auf der Donauinsel um die Hüften zu ölen & den neuen sonnigen Abschnitt einzuläuten.

Wir feierten 15 Jahre Tanz in den Tag und stampften für die Lobau. Die Donau-Auen, der Dschungel Wiens, sind eine der letzten intakten Au-Landschaften Europas und stehen als Nationalpark unter Schutz.

Der geplante “Tunnel Donau Lobau” droht jedoch zu einer Gefährdung des Wasserhaushalts des Nationalparks zu werden. 
Das Gute ist, im Februar 25' hat die VCÖ bereits die strategische Prüfung Verkehr veröffentlicht, was zeigt, dass es unter all untersuchten Aspekten auch ökonomisch nicht lukrativ ist und das Wurzelproblem nicht packt. :-) We stay in hope!  #Öffisforwin 

Ich hoffe, ihr tanzt politisch weiter für das was uns am Leben hält. <3

Un buen rato de slow groove, creamy basslines y texturas ácidas, todo envuelto en una atmósfera cálida.

Deep, indie, minimal y dark disco en su versión hot.

Downtempo Delights #004: AmuAmu

In the heart of Neukölln, where concrete met cosmos and the city never truly slept, Johann Bello rose with the dawn—not because he had to, but because sound waited for him.

By day, he moved like a shadow through the world—quiet, observant, often barefoot in his studio, where dust from last night's forest rave still clung to his sleeves. By night, he became a cartographer of feeling, etching emotional maps into waveforms with tempo as slow as memory and melodies that whispered like leaves in twilight.

They called it Schneckno—a genre born half-jokingly at a lakeside jam, now adopted seriously by dancers who preferred to sway rather than stomp. Johann didn’t invent the word, but he gave it rhythm, pulse, and purpose. His sets weren’t just music—they were invitations to breathe slower, feel deeper, and return to the human pace.

Qu'est-ce qui t'a fait tomber amoureuse de la downtempo ?

Je ne me souviens pas vraiment comment est née ma passion pour la downtempo, je n’ai pas de souvenir clair ou conscient, mais ce que je sais, c’est que cet amour s’est installé lentement, petit à petit, bâtissant progressivement un lien fort et durable avec la downtempo.

Au début, j’étais fascinée par son aspect mélancolique et nostalgique : les mélodies en mineur, les tensions harmoniques et leurs résolutions me rappelaient la musique classique. Plus tard, j’ai découvert et j’ai plongé dans la puissance des lignes de basse plus groovy, les kicks profonds et les bruits irréguliers par ci par là. Selon mon humeur, j’ai commencé à explorer d’autres émotions que la nostalgie, notamment la douceur, et en même temps, l’étrangeté de la downtempo. J’adore qu'elle puisse être à la fois chaleureuse et inquiétante. C’est complexe, flou, et je sais jamais vraiment sur quel pied danser — ce qui crée en moi des mouvements drôles et décalés  ! Et je crois que j’aime cet état d’esprit étrange, cet état du corps étrange aussi.

Quelle émotion ou pouvoir magique de la downtempo tu explores dans ton set et pourquoi ?

Dans ce set, j’ai le sentiment d’explorer un pouvoir particulier de la downtempo : sa capacité à jeter des sorts. Des sortilèges de toutes les couleurs. Parce que pour moi, la downtempo est comme une sorcière, dans son sens le plus originel : une magicienne, une femme un peu en marge, qui déclenche quelque chose chez ceux qui l’écoutent.

Parfois c’est une sorcière de la neige et des montagnes, parfois envoûteuse de la nuit, parfois magicienne de l’aube. Elle oscille entre espièglerie et mystère. Elle est lente, elle traîne des pieds, un ‘lazy bit' à la fois. En chemin, elle collecte des sons de la terre, de l’eau, du ciel et du feu. Elle devient lourde, marche plus fort, plus profondément, presque à bout de souffle.

Puis, elle chute… dans le sommeil, et se repose — juste un instant. Mais bientôt, elle renaît, d’abord par son battement de cœur, puis son souffle, son bourdonnement intérieur, le clignement de ses yeux, ses murmures et, enfin, le son de sa voix. Elle revient à la vie, avec une force tranquille, se dirige vers sa cible — l’auditeur — prête à jeter ses sorts à nouveau… Elle ne meurt jamais."
