It's been a while since I uploaded a set on my Souncloud page. Last year I was quite busy with the start of my master’s program and took some time for other things during the lockdown (such as finally read more!  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). In the last weeks I got back to music stuff and tried to record a classic Darko-Set, which I probably would have played live in a similar way. I really hope you enjoy the journey and that it can conjure up a bit of festival and club feeling in your living room.

I'm excited to see what will happen this year, and hope that we all don't lose sight of the beautiful enjoyable things around us, that we can be damn thankful for every day. Even if, at the same time, I can understand very well, that a lot of frustration and gloom has spread in a lot of us. These are strange times and many things are unfortunately so unfair, and yet, somehow I also believe that there are beautiful sides in all the things that happen, too. 
I like to have this sentence in my mind: It’s always a question of perspective. <3

Stay curious, stay healthy, see you very soon and I’m happy to get feedback. :)

Frida Darko @ Home - Darko Lockdown Set 2021

Nichts ist absolut. Alles verändert sich. Alles bewegt sich. Alles dreht sich. Alles fliegt. Und verschwindet. (Frida Kahlo) 💫 

This is my Darko FRIDAy Night Set from Atlantis Stage at Bucht der Träumer* Festival 2022 :) I'm so happy to show it to you and I really hope you will enjoy listening to it. 🎶

Thanks to everyone who joined and danced with me. I'm very grateful for having this spacial magical moment together with yous <3 

I wish that we can all have the courage to show our fallibility and be honest with ourselves. Because I believe that this honesty is the smallest common multiple of our connection. And then we can learn. Then we can develop. Then we can forgive. And be able to go further. All together. With the flow. In tact. In the moment. That turns. That moves. That flies. And disappears. 
 
Your Fridi Darksn  🧡  🥒

Frida Darko - Friday Night @ Atlantis - Bucht Der Träumer* 2022

After a magical weekend on cloud 9, we are finally back on Earth. The adventure started in mind-blowing Canada, where we met one of the kindest crews we've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. From there, it proceeded through Poland to the magnificent LAS Festival, and finally to the Fusion Festival, what we call home. As soon as we reached the "Extravaganza" stage, we became completely overwhelmed.
However, it started to rain and we quickly decided to just let go of the crowd and start improvising as usual. Thanks a million times to everyone for this unforgettable moment who joined us in dancing, laughing and tears.

Fusion Festival - Extravaganza 2023

I couldn't be happier about this special gig. This party is exactly why I fell in love with this music and scene. 
Thank you so much @mira_kater for inviting me to play at your party! I hope you will enjoy this energetic dance into the early hours of the morning. 
And last but not least thanks to my loyal fancrowd who got up so early to be there on a sunday morning. it just made me feel so comfortable and at home having you all around me during these three hours at Acidbogen <3

UREM @ 46 Katzen Tanzen Aufm Tisch 2023 ✷ Kater Blau

Visiting Hamburg is always a special thing for me. Gängeviertel, hanseatische Materialverwaltung, the people of Karl Kutter and: @suedpol-hamburg, the crazy bunch thats also behind Tanzwüste at Fusion. 

A lot of my understanding of rave and community goes back to these places. Man - I was even there, when G20 turned everything upside down. 

Thats why I'm always thankful and relieved, when I get back there and these little islands of resistance still exist and fight back. Though it's getting harder by the day.

Now a dream came true and I was asked to play at the notourish Südpol. Saturday to Sunday night, Oben from 04-07 in the morning. Together with @urem, @Lisbird & @hovrmusic and many other friends we packed our stuff and got on our way. 

I'm super happy to share with you the experience of this 3h Expedition! Thanks to the very zornige Crowd which stayed till the bitter end and gave all they got! And thanks @baskind who played a crazy closing set after me!

Now, please enjoy! As always I'm happy to hear your feedback. So please feel free to repost, like and comment if you fancy too! 

Love you a bunch, see you next time on the dancefloor! :)

Thank you @bisu-andyou for the recording & mastering <3

We are so excited to share our Kater Blau (Berlin) recording with you from our first Label Night with Tipping point at Acidbogen ❤️ @frida-darko @tipping-point-music
Couldn’t have ask for a better first label party & birthday. This energy made the night truly special, and we're honored to have such a lovely community. ✨
We hope this set puts a smile on your face and sweet vibes on your way! 🧚🏻‍♀️

Sending lots of love, 
xoxo Atric & Fridi

Intro in english: 
Imagine waking up with a blue hangover-cat = Blau Kater: Everything swirling in shades of blue because last night you decided blue was the answer to everything. Blue hangover-cats can purr with a unique gentleness, but you gotta keep them in check. Because when blue hangovers-cats leap over the acid arc (Acidbogen), they turn into blue panthers in the universe, trying to paint the melodies of the stars in blue. So, stroke your blue buddy, and keep painting. Keep painting on.

Introtext: 
Stell dir vor, du wachst mit einem Blau-Kater auf: Alles in einem blauen Wirbel, weil du gestern Nacht beschlossen hast, dass Blau die Antwort auf alles sei. Blau-Kater können mit einer besonderen Sanftheit schnurren, aber du musst ihn im Zaum halten. Denn wenn Blau-Kater den Acidbogen überspannen werden sie zu blauen Panthern im Universum, die versuchen, die Melodien der Sterne in Blau zu malen. Also, streichle den blauen Freund, und male weiter. Male immer weiter.

Thank u to everyone, who made this possible and for your trust to let me tell a story for three full hours!

To be transparente: I am still on site making my shifts, talking nonsense at our gala show on Saturday at FKK beach and getting lost in a good way on Sunday and Monday with my lovely friends. But we do have wlan here now so I can share my set already 🤯
Thank you CCC 😉 
 
Thank you to my crew! 3000Grad love! Thank you Telekollegen for making us shine, you are incredible!

🚀 This is a Fusion Festival 2024-Judith van Waterkant-Set at Sonnendeck 🚀

Da ist für mich ein kleiner Traum in Erfüllung gegangen. Ich kann gar nicht sagen wie aufgeregt ich war und gleichzeitig habe ich mich so sehr gefreut, dass ich schon Tage vorher nicht mehr richtig schlafen konnte. Die Sonne hat alles gegeben beim Gig, es waren unglaublich viele Freunde da - das hat den Gig für mich noch einmal mehr besonders für mich gemacht. 
Viel Spaß mit dem Recording <3

Liebsten Dank an le.fu und die Gang vom Südpol für die Einladung und Danke an NUAH für die Hilfe bei dem kleinen Intro und an bīsu für das Mastering <3

Im gART.N der Klänge, wo Musik gedeiht,
sind Maria und Renata stets bereit. 👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏻
Sie hackeln und dreschen, vertikutieren fein,
basslastig soll es sein.

Überhaupt und Außerdem säten den Samen,
dass die beiden zusammen kamen. 🧑🏽‍🌾
Jetzt jähten sie das Unkraut, mähen das Gras,
krauteln die sweet melodies, mit jedem Takt nach Maß.

Symbiose und Fotosynthese,
mit massivsten Druckwellen
läuft das Laubgebläse. 🍂

Sie buddeln tieeeef im Peaktimegeröll ⛰️
und bohren ins Klanggestein,
lupfen die Töne, pflanzen sie rein. 👂 

Zerealienhaltige Düngung mit Paulaner 
und Maisel,
da dreht sich sogar Schneckno 🐌 im Underground wie ein Kreisel.

Kommt und lauscht, wie die bouncy Tunes sprießen, lasst uns die Ernte der beiden genießen. 🎶

Can somebody pinch me?! 🤯

Saturday 3 p.m. opening Atlantis - the biggest stage at Bucht der Träumer* 2024. I'm still processing what happened! 😳💥

This festival became a room of longings every since I visited it 2019. Becoming part of this crew is still one of the biggest gifts that ever happened to me. Now, to have had the honor to open this floor on saturday calls for a reality check! 

And the biggest proof of love I could receive: everyone of you who sticked to the dancefloor while the sun was melting the sand underneath our feets. You guys were amazing! Really too hot to handle!!🫠 🫶

Thanks for all the lovely words afterwards, your energy throughout this two hour ride and your respect for each other. Once again all you dreamers* made a huge difference!💞

Like, share & leave a comment if you fancy too. Always happy for your feedback & support! <3

Horst Haller - Kernschmelze auf Atlantis | Bucht der Träumer* 2024

The Twilight of Reason reflects the subtle violence inherent in modern life, touching on themes such as the erosion of meaning, the haunting effects of digital progress, and the fragile dreams of a species on the brink of self-destruction. This four-track EP traces a journey from abstraction to memory, from systems to the self. It communicates through dub music, characterised by echoes, decay, and absence.Each track is a fragment, a loss of soul, a glitch in time, or a displaced emotion. Collectively, they create an auditory exploration of the present: human, weighty, and unresolved.

Promos, Letters:

Ruling with kindness and graciousness over Darkoville, the Princess of dark tunes and deep-driving Downtempo rests profoundly within her realm. With every track she plays, with every drop she makes, she will be watching you. She astonishes every royal court she had the honor to play for, with an insanely clever ear for trackselection and taking some of melodic technos’ most raucous bangers, and slowing them to an unfathomable bpm that works so well, it makes your bones shatter. Spending most of her daytimes being sleepy and hiding it with a big interest for meditations and comtemplations about live, the nighttime, when all lights shimmer and silhouettes move, is when she rises to her real grace, becoming one with the crowd, cheering in her dolphin-like ways and embracing the dancefloor with a contagious joyfullness.
