so much gratitude. i love this so, so much. thank you Hekske & Hilary

Hi,
The seed of this witchtape was planted a few months ago, when I wrote this little fairy tale on a cold winter evening.  After I completed writing it, I had the strong feeling that this story needed a soundtrack and that it should be made by a true witch – so I sent the fairy tale to Hilary and she was really enthusiastic about this whole concept.  And this witchtape is the result.  Actually my story was only the starting point as Hilary worked it out as a truly epic witchy fairy tale... an instant spellbinder.
Peace & Hugs
Hekske

(Story continued from Witchtape #14)
Deep in the forest, the witch felt powerless and heartbroken as she witnessed one of her beloved trees crashing down.  She looked in anger at the logger and his big brown dog.  She needed to stop him from doing more harm, but the question was how.  Witches follow a strict code of non-violence and – contrary to popular belief – they don’t know any dark spells.  Then she had an idea.  The human was obviously a hopeless case, but she felt his Belgian shepherd might have some common sense.  So she sent her friend the owl to talk to the dog.  The bird swiftly flew to the big canine creature and explained him that his owner really should stop destroying mother earth.  The dog became very upset and disappointed and started barking at his boss.  The man tried to control his long-time companion but the dog became more and more ferocious.  Meanwhile the witch – who was still very young and insecure – gathered all her courage and approached the man from behind, with her owl sitting on her shoulder.  The dog saw this happening and stopped barking.  So the man went back to business, or at least that’s what he thought.  When he turned around, he had the biggest shock of his life and his face turned pale.  Standing just two meters in front of him was this girl with bright green eyes, staring straight into his eyes with a stone-cold face, while an owl was sitting on her shoulder doing the same with his big eyes.  The young  witch (who had never done a thing like this before) became all of a sudden very confident as she felt that every living being in the forest was supporting her, and she felt how her eyes really started to glow with a power she never knew she possessed.  The dog started barking again and this time he really attacked the logger.  The man looked away from the witch and made a quick getaway, in such a state of panic that he left his chainsaw behind.
Meanwhile the witch started comforting the agonizing dying tree with a new faithful friend on her side :  a big brown dog…

Hey Sheepzzz a new MÒNADA BRAHMA is just a click away!

Today we'd like to welcome our dear friend and huge talent Shepherd as new member of our monads music-gang. With „Caleidoscope Existence“ he's guiding the flock to new paradigms of simplicity and complexity. His style will catch our senses with his unique organic flow of driving synths and deep yet gentle beats.

The born Slovenian who's current home is Berlin, entrapped us the first time with his sound at one of the stunning Lucid gatherings some years ago. He's one of the brilliant co-creators of this revolutionary movement, which empowers the urban kids to free themselves and to live by their fullest potential - through music, dance, community & natural high vibes.  A non-dogmatic and colorful space is getting created where we can show ourselves as who we are and share beautiful experiences with another.

Shepherd is an artist who's sets are carefully curated voyages of subtle emotion, often culminating in peaks that set his audiences free. He has a knack for capturing the vibe on a dance floor and skillfully leading the crowd to get those bodies moving and hearts swelling. He has played at countless events and festivals - always with a keen feeling for the energy of the moment on any dance floor. He’s a blooming member of Circles & Stones, founded by the amazing Sarah Kreis & Caleesi, which provides him a great source of musical inspiration and support as well as a strong bond of friendship.

Our dear friend and amazing artist Radka Tiarksova is providing us another time a beautiful piece of visionary art of Radka Soulart for our beloved cover art-podcast-ensemble. We're more than thankful and happy to have this special collaboration and to have the possibility to share with all of you her unique art which is as lively, colorful & profound as the life we call reality.
The clear structure of „Caleidoscope Existence“ together with the complexity and simplicity in one, mirrors for us perfectly the experience of Shepherds musical script - please convince yourself!

Now let's graze together on this magical soundscape...

Love, love, love & nothing else as love <3

MONADA BRAHMA 009 | Shepherd | Caleidoscope Existence

The sun shines again in the Berlin sky and warms up our hearts, colors become vivid and the rhythms more vibrant. It is the right time to welcome Lui Mafuta (https://soundcloud.com/luimafuta) to our podcast series and to spread his seductive and enveloping sound into the warm breeze. 
Lui’s passion for music began in his adolescence when he started playing jazz drums alongside his father. He was greatly influenced by hip hop beats which formed the bedrock of his sound and early productions. 
However, the discovery of the so called ‘downtempo’ brought a remarkable change in his career as producer and introduced Lui to electronic music. The ease of the rhythms and the openness of the people crowding the scene helped him find a new form of expression, and shaped him to the brilliant producer that we know. Lui finds his inspiration in the energy of the crowd, and it´s his mission to return that energy in form of fresh sound. 
Lui finds enjoyment and motivation in the freedom that music production itself entails. The set he prepared for UCR was recorded live and consists exclusively of his own productions which are masterfully blended for us. We invite everyone - music lovers and attentive listeners, to experience that freedom too.

Some time ago at an early morning hour, L&R have enchanted us with a fantastic dreamy piece of art. Here you can listen to a fraction of it. Unfortunately the beginning and the end got cut off, but fortunately the center still remains :) 

Thank you Gino and Beni for being part of us and this beautiful night. Thank you Sima, Karima (Stella), Sascha, Daniel and Martina for your engaging presence :) <3

It's been a long time since we started this project and we met some fantastic people on our way. Nevertheless there are two boys who live half a continent away and are at the same time as close to us as they could possibly be. It's good to know that there are people around who share the same vision and Geju (@g-e-j-u) definetly work magic when it comes furthering the genre. Their history of countless performances around the globe in combination with them hosting captivating events in their hometown, they truly are two stellar figures in this movement. We couldn't be more happy to present to you their most recent piece of art..

Swim with the moon〰️
Turning back into the tide 
I swim with the moon 
I dream that the hours fade away 
I watch as the sunlight does the same 
I like the moments of the shadowplay

What better way to get inspired than by listening to a voyage steered by the captain himself? Moon swimmers and dreamers please welcome Rolandson.

About Stelzenläufer 
" Ahoy! I'm living at the baltic sea coast in germany and since my childhood i'm playing the saxophone in several live combos. But a decade ago I also fell in love with electronic music. I like it smooth, I like it slow, I like it driving and drifting. I love to spread my vibe daytime on music festivals, sharing storytelling dj sets and of course still love jammin the saxophone with soulfoul musicians. Once in a while I combine and make live saxophone Dj sets.
In 2018 Me and my friend lockige Ostsee (@Sattlord) founded the @Faultierdisko(sloth disco). We are a Dj team and we have a radio show in our home town Rostock. With the @Faultierdisko podcast series on Soundcloud we support artists and spread our slothdisco vibe. Give it a listen! "

... a little girl (about 9 years old) walks alone into a beautiful forest full of flowers. So she continues walking deeper into the woods, which are getting darker and darker. Despite all this, some forest animals accompany the girl so that she feels safe in these dark woods. And finally the girl arrives in the middle of the forest, which is again bright and full of flowers and that's where she finds the beating heart of the forest :)

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.
