This mix is magnetically dark, sexy, full of shimmering synths. Last call and a perfect chance to catch the noir vibes 🌚 before some of us will jump into ugly sweaters and Christmas chants.

"We lost Curley way too early and at a point where he was about to become very well known. He had a unique talent but the thing that got me the most was that we were walking the same musical path. We had arranged to work together in the new year but we sadly lost him on new years eve. I was very lucky to have worked with him on the Sahara technique ep and several times in the Spiral Tribe Studio 23 when we were parked up in Den Haag 1993-94. I was most influenced by a record he did with Yan from Unit Moebius on a small label called Oxalis from near Paris. The record featured a flange/chorus being fed back on itself. I was blown away and have developed this sound ever since. You will hear it on this mix. I dedicate this mix to my fallen brother who i will carry in my heart forever and who I always think of before I start an improvisation !!!

Anyone who hears his music and and mine will understand why we are musical brothers."

Maurice and Philipp, also known as Zehlendorfer Disco Squad, are a DJ and production duo from Berlin. They have been taking a deep dive into the realms of cosmic disco for several years and also founded their own event series and hopefully soon-to-be-label “Disco Futurismo” which combines modern basslines with 80s-Synths, discoid rhythms and bouncy patterns while staying spacy. Have fun listening to their take on a mid-tempo disco-futuristic set!

HHV Guest Mix #038 – Rena Volvo

For this month's podcast episode we invite Toben. He is a dancefloor-proven vinyl junkie from Berlin and part of Leipzig's Kap Tripití collective.

For Loser Records, he dove deep into his record collection to reflect on and translate the emotions of his past summer experiences. The result is a dubby, minimal yet refreshingly vibrant take on house music. 

We say thank you to Toben for this wonderful podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Loser Podcast 079 - Toben

Arno Gonzalez-Ride My Horse

A mind adrift, a spirit lost,
His memories shattered, at such a cost.
His loving wife, now but a shade,
A dissociative fugue, a life unmade.

He walks through streets, a vacant stare,
No past he knows, no future to share.
A stranger's face, a hollow gaze,
Lost in a fog, through endless days.

Dissociative fugue

Last hour of my set live recorded at Camp Cosmic 2016!

BIO
There are not many Alchemists left nowadays so finding one is considered a grace. Greek origin - Berlin based Hara Katsiki is one of them!
Hara is carrying - besides her extraordinary abilities - a Universal understanding about music and like a modern shaman, she is weaving a thread between sound and space-time creating a metagalactic cosmos, bringing a sophisticated sonic palette and perceptive ear to dancefloors.

Effortlessly sweeping you into the astral, Hara entwines her compelling cosmic selections from Balearic and Cosmic Disco to Italo, Indie-Dance, EBM, New Beat and infatuating rarities. Since 2019, Hara has been a member and resident DJ  of  Berlin based Slow Motion Records. A dependable force within Berlin’s revered scene which she now calls home. With slots at the formidable likes of Berghain’s Panorama Bar, Renate, Sisyphos, Kater Blau, About Blank, KitKat Club and many others, she is a strong figure within the nocturnal city and parties across the globe. 

With an impressive, multi-disciplinary past within the creative industries, the former model, stylist and art director channels her abundant passion into intuitive, sensational mixes. It is no mystery that aside from DJing, she is a  Quantum Healer and Visual Artist. It is clear that Hara delicately weaves this approach into her selections, presenting an enticing and alluring journey mindful of its surroundings.

Carefully chosen, warming gems fill her sets which lie within the realms of Balearic, Cosmic and Italo Disco. Hara explores the darker side of these genres but is not limited to them, driving you into a superterrestrial and ethereal experience. Powerful acoustic percussion, warm growling basslines and shimmering synths are a constant. 

Open your heart and let her take you on an interstellar journey through time and space.
