It was now 11 months ago since Lalita The Nymph had arrived in the witch’s forest in Northwestern Europe, after an epic journey of 2 years from the rainforest in Sri Lanka where she grew up.  She had traveled all the way to take up her life-long mission, which is to protect the tiny (3 feet high) oak tree which is destined to live for 1000 years and become the future mother tree of the witch’s forest.  After the arrival of the nymph, the little witch and the other forest dwellers have done their utter best to show their thankfulness towards the nymph and make her self-confined life as pleasant as possible.  A friendly family of badgers had even dug an idyllic pond for Lalita, who was now feeling very comfortable in her new home forest.
And on that beautiful day during the Indian Summer, the nymph had an idea.  She called Ali Ekster - ‘Ali The Magpie’ who has excellent connections with the bazars in the Middle-East - and asked him if he could bring her spices from Sri Lanka.  One week later, Ali returned with a trove of Oriental spices and oils.  After checking the quality of all products, the nymph decided to waste no time and asked Zhanna The Squirrel to collect some firewood, while she herself took a small cauldron, filled it with the crystal clear water from the pond, in which she dissolved a delicate mix of oriental spices.  At that point she realized that she didn’t have any matches to light the fire.  So she dispatched Eddy The Hedgehog to go and ask for a little spark from the little witch.  Of course the girl obliged with a smile and with a gracious hand movement she created a floating light, which gently landed on Eddy’s back (with his long needles, he is the only forest animal who can transport a spark without getting burned).  
A few minutes later, the soothing sound of a crackling fire could be heard while an incredibly sophisticated mix of scents filled the air in the woods.  This drew the attention of many forest animals and birds, and even the little witch became so curious that she decided to visit Lalita and ask what kind of brew she was preparing in her little cauldron.  The nymph explained that she was preparing a special kind of ayurvedic massage oil, following an old secret recipe which has passed for over 2500 years from nymph to nymph.  And she revealed that the little witch would get the honor to receive the very first massage.  Little did she know that the word ‘massage’ sounded way to shallow to describe the incredibly deep soul-healing experience which she was about to undergo.  And while they were waiting for the brew to cool down, the nymph and the witch (and Eddy The Hedgehog) took a refreshing dive in the crystal-clear water of the Nymph’s Pond …

About this journey:
In the past 1.5 years, time passes differently than before. Slower and faster at the same time. No one was really prepared for this form of a global pandemic, a global crisis. It’s a long and tough wait, sometimes hoping and fearing. Existences are threatened directly or indirectly. For me, it also shows how little capacity the global North has in dealing with existential crises. Norms and moral boundaries are shifting, revealing all their ambiguity and hypocrisy. Many people in the global South are still waiting for vaccines, and here millions are not getting vaccinated out of irrational fears and assumptions. Terms like dictatorship are grossly distorted. Freedom is demanded, but it means selfishness, lack of empathy, bossiness and malice. There’s a loud and aggressive, hyperpivileged minority that screams the loudest. But people die in silence. A simple and frightening logic.  It is a matter of time. It is about patience. It's about courage. About renunciation. About each and every one. What exactly music and art can achieve in this disturbing time, we all define.

moin, moin & ahoi...

heuer präsentieren wir euch mal wieder einen speziellen »freunde für freunde mix« und wie soll es nach 4 jahren und 4 monaten auch anders sein, als dass er vom @seaside trip käpt’n kommt:
@rolandson 
.... genau, er hat die zeitreise gewagt, er hat den gezeiten getrotzt, segel in stürmen verschlissen und nerven auf sandbänken gelassen, nur um uns nach all den jahren immer noch mit seiner musik zu erfreuen. sich noch immer selbst bezeichnend als »kind der ostsee«, unterwegs in vieler städte häfen, ein musikalischer wegbegleiter, schippert er die wellen quer und kreuzt ab und an die heimathä….äh mixserien-gefilde. so macht er am rostocker hafen längsseits fest und hängt seine wimpel und flagge in den heimatlichen ost-west wind. so sitzt er da, der alte bärtige mann, pafft sein pfeifchen und klönt mit jeder und jedem über die zeiten von … und … und weiß sein seemannsgarn zu spinnen. das webt er immer noch wunderbar in klangteppiche, mit welchen wir mal dahin treiben oder abtauchen, ohne je zu versinken. mit seinem mix für uns knüpft er an den ersten teil (the language of the depth bei akasha mexico erschienen) seiner neuen serie »the sunken sea« an und lässt uns 2 stunden an seinen geborgenen geheimnissen der tiefe teilhaben. »the sunken sea pt.2 -  the depth holds the secrets« ist ein weiterer konzept-mix, bei welchem mal wieder auf überraschende wie wundervolle art & weise klar wird: rolandson war, ist und bleibt einer der geschichtenerzähler, welcher keine angst hat unsere wahrnehmungen immer wieder auf’s neue in frage zu stellen und selbige zu erweitern. mit einer ultraleicht anmutenden feinfühligkeit fädeln sich trippige tracks und verborgene klang-juwelen hintereinander auf und verweben sich letztendlich mit ungehörten geräuschen, melodien und liedern zu einem klangteppich, der geheimnisse birgt aber auch frei gibt. 


danke rolandson & sara!... und euch 2 unvergessliche stunden!

The Sunken Sea Pt.2 - the depth holds the secrets

rolandson - deep & smooth #103

A very warm welcome to 2021. We all hope that this year will again be marked by community,culture and creative exchange. It seems that it is just a faded memory from a time long past. So we wish for nothing more than to colour this memory by dancing together: Live & Authentic  ❤️

This time the patient waiting will be sweetened by @chu-chi-gong . The DJ'ane from Frankfurt is a part of Kollektiv Schöne Töne (@schoene_toene)and already played gigs at Kabinett der Kuriositäten, Tropen Tango Festival and Cassiopeia.

Telling stories musically her style is slow, deep and emotional along with  a broad variety of influences: Ethno, folklore & Medicine-Music to name just a few.

Chuchi wants to overcome boundaries with love, music and spirituality. Her intention is to touch the deepest feelings of people opening up the safe space for the listener to set them free.

So feel free to be inspired by Chuchi's sound, open up your sacred space and let her music carrie you away!

Witches are the guardians of the forests.  We're not evil or dark, just a bit shy.  And even surprisingly sweet and kind... as long as you respect the forest.
