Kora feat. Sthefany & Rolando @ Solstice Festival 2024, Lago Atitlán, Guatemala (Tracklist Below)

☀ Yin Ambiental Sunrise Set ☀


This set is dedicated to our sacred source of light and life—the Sun.


🌋 Gratitude overflows for this magical moment at Lago Atitlán, cradled between towering volcanoes. Here, we’re reminded of the infinite beauty of our world and the raw, untamed power of Earth’s elements. It is humbling. It is awe-inspiring.


🍃 In the presence of such magnificence, we are but whispers in this vast and grandiose realm. Yet, despite our smallness, we continue to harm the natural world, and it can respond in kind. My hope is that this sonic journey serves as an invitation to reconnect—with ourselves, with naturaleza, and with our magical planet.


Maltiox to the local community for welcoming us into these sacred lands.


To Rolando: thank you for guiding the sunrise ceremony with your heartwarming words and profound wisdom that touched us all so deeply.


To Brazilian musician Sthefany: it was a pleasure to share this musical moment with you—your flutes added such soulful beauty to this set.


To Elise: thank you for being the most amazing travel companion on this adventure. And to all the new friends we made along the way—you’ve enriched this journey more than words can express.


A heartfelt thanks to Mati, Greg, Jazz, Carlos on the audio and the entire Solstice and Eagle’s Nest team for hosting this festival on your sacred perch above the volcanic vistas.


And finally, thank you to all the artists whose music is woven into this set.


Thank you for listening—I hope it brings you harmony!


Mikael // Kora

Premiere: Volen Sentir, PROFF - Heidence [Shanti Mansion]

A storied artist with a rich seam of high-quality releases to his name, Nicolas Rada is a welcome addition to the Meanwhile catalogue with a superb twin-track offering in the shape of “Glasgow / Riot”.

Operating out of his Buenos Aires home, Nicolas Rada has been at the forefront of the Progressive House scene for almost 2 decades. As part of the artist roster under the Analog Agency banner, Nicolas has travelled the world, spanning the continents with performances in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Netherlands, Hungary, Scotland, and not forgetting his Argentina homeland.

Contemporaneously, a production career has seen Nicolas Rada scale rarified heights. From early work and almost a century of credits on Balkan Connection South America, to work on Lee Burridge’s Tale & Tone, Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and fellow countryman Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, the Argentinean star has shone brightly in the underground dance firmament with over 400 production credits to his name.

Now gracing Meanwhile with his sizeable talent, “Glasgow” is a typically powerful offering that revels in a thumping beat, off-beat hats and running 16th note bassline. Picking up the pace in the second movement, subtle melodic motifs begin to accentuate the rhythmic collage as they seamlessly develop over the 8-minute timeframe. Atmospheric pads and steam-pressured white-noise risers add to the overall feel as “Glasgow” hits its height in delay-infused melodic patterns that propel it forward to an epic conclusion.

The cleverly named “Riot” immediately excites with its complex rhythmic arrangement and bassline narrative that extends the vibe of its partner track. With bouncing phrasing, it syncopates effortlessly alongside a cascading array of melodic characters that build in dizzying fashion. Using vocal samples drawn from the classic “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” film, first used by the likes of Chicago’s iconic progressive breaks act, Grayarea, the spoken word melds effortlessly with the shimmering synth stabs and textured pads. The result is a 24-carat modern progressive jewel that sparkles from start to finish.

Making a welcome Meanwhile debut, Nicolas Rada lays down a powerful marker with “Glasgow / Riot”.

Fusion, thank you. 🎶🪩🚀

My hybrid set from Friday Morning on Sonnendeck is out now on Soundcloud. I hope you enjoy it!

///


 It was my first Fusion, definitely not the last. One of the most inclusive, affordable, sustainable and badass events I had a chance to see. The level of creativity, the quality of sound systems, the absence of authority or security, yet the feeling of safety and community. An impressive and powerful sonic city that shows us how the world can be when we work for a greater purpose, together, with strong values. 

This set represents a lot for me, after quite an heart opening trip in Beirut, Lebanon right before Fusion, getting closer to the war opened my eyes to the energies, challenges and times we are living in, while being fuelled and inspired by the beautiful resilience of people. ❤️

The dancefloor as a revolution. Music as a way to heal. The community as a foundation to rebuild the world from the heart space. 🌍   Gratitude to the Sonnendeck crew for the invitation, to everyone who came to dance for the morning session, and big love to old and new friends who made this journey memorable.
