With her so called "Dreamer Techno", the Berlin-based @katzen_gold amazes every crowd whether it's under the blue sky on a festival or in the club. Her melodic heavy sound always gets you in the mood for dancing, floating and of course, dreaming.
Enjoy the Mix!

MINI-INTERVIEW

What was your most significant club / festival moment?
"There were quite a few, but the most significant moment was actually this year. I was accepted into the label at "3000Grad" this year, which to this day, was an incredible happening for me. Then I also had the honor to play at the "3000Grad Festival 2021", the Saturday Closing on the Utopia stage. Through the trust of this incredibly warm-hearted crew and the whole energy of the dancing masses in the morning, I had to really fight with the tears when I then played the last track. Those were definitely tears of joy and happiness, quite an emotional moment for me. I'll still be releasing the set soon. I have waited until now because this set is especially important to me."

Who inspired you the most on your path as an artist?                                                                                                               
"There are too many good artists to name them all. The most I was through my friends, the fascination and love for electronic music. At some point I wanted to try it myself."

What do you want to express with your music?
"I am a really emotional person. At some point I started to process my experiences and emotions, whether beautiful or not so beautiful, with the music. My motto: head off, eyes closed and float away. From this arose at some point my very dreamy style. My closest friends, who know me well, often told me that the music reflects myself. Energetic forward with a softcore."

Was für ein wunderschönes, verbimmelt & verbammeltes Wochenende das war! <3

Das ist mein Set aus der sonntagmorgendlichen Afterhour und es liegt mir besonders am Herzen. Seit über einem Jahr habe ich Tracks gesammelt, auf der Suche nach meinem eigenen Sound und dieses Set hat sich wie ein großer Meilenstein auf dem Weg dorthin angefühlt. Auch wenn es technisch nicht genau dort ist, wo ich es gerne hätte (es war auch meine Afterhour), ist es echt und drückt für mich so viel aus. 

Ich bin richtig glücklich, dass ich dieses Set in diesem wunderschönen, vertrauten Rahmen spielen konnte und es hätte wohl keinen besseren Ort dafür geben können. Danke liebe @bammelbande fürs Möglichmachen, fürs Raum geben, um zu gestalten, und an alle, die so viel Arbeit in diese Veranstaltung gesteckt haben. Danke an alle, die mit mir in den frühen Morgenstunden getanzt haben und für das süße Feedback danach. 

Das war was ganz Besonderes <3

Had a marvelous chance to play these mind blowing psy dub and psy chill tracks at the latest Drink and Draw session - October drawing fest at Bergen Kjøtt arranged by Torild Stray - Check out the drawing group "Bergen Akt og Kroki" on Facebook :) 
What a joy and bliss to see 70 people drawing live models in the beautiful trance of artistic self-expression!

In the last 30 minutes I added a special surprise: non-dying classical tracks including "Slap that Bass" by Ella Fitzgerald (!!!) in absolutely brilliant rework with a sparkle of electronica. Absolutely in love! 

Enjoy the mix!

@ ElbeLove September 24

Die Zeiger der Uhr sind mal wieder durchgedreht und wir schreiben das Jahr 2025. Der Kuckuck hält dir stündlich eine Standpauke, zahllose Zahnräder lassen die Glocken läuten. Wachst du? Träumst du? Das neue Jahr hat gerade einmal eine zwölftel Umdrehung geschafft und ein rückfällig gewordener Größenwahnsinniger wirft mit Dekreten um sich. Wie sollst du denn so einen Dry January durchstehen?!
Also:
Time for Retox.
 Please welcome: The Inception of Drall

Das erste Mal dieses Jahr. Du hast es nicht verlernt. Routiniert fasst du deinen kleinen Lieblingskreisel zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger, schmunzelst, und versetzt ihn in den Drall, den du so liebst. Er beginnt sich zu drehen und hört nicht mehr damit auf. Der Kulturbunker sorgt mitten in der Stadt für die Reibungslosigkeit, die dein persönlicher Kreisel braucht, um bis in die Morgenstunden ungestört durchzudrehen. Ob er es in deinem Traum noch tut oder nicht – das weißt am Ende nur du selbst.

Near is the feeling you get returning or having returned to that which you love.
The feeling of excitement, contentment, wholeness and safety that comes from being around the people, places and things that make you feel like home.

Half Minimum decisively traverses downtempo, chilled beats, seamlessly progressing toward uplifting and energetic releases. 
Weaving language and instruments of the world with unconventional beat structures and ambient, psychedelic elements. 
Adding music production to the mix in 2024, Half Minimum shares emotive energy through music of his own and others’ making resulting in a dynamic, uplifting experience not to be missed.
//
Half Maximum deliberately unites melodic, organic and psychedelic techno, splicing together spacious dropouts, progressive grinds and peak time bangers. 
Progressively building energy and tension before erupting catharsis.
//
Half Mayhem messes around and has fun, often at the end of the night or in the living room on a Tuesday trying to impress his dog. Good girl Luna.
