Miss_Flanger 🍀 Neustart 🍀 | JAN 2025

This is the recording of my live set, which I played at Beate Uwe, Berlin, on 13.04.2025. I am very happy to share it with you, with the help of my friends who made it all possible.

In the beginning, I say “my history” to the crowd. I use that phrasing because, although I see humanity as one consciousness, one god that connects all, and the ego part of the human being should take up as little space as possible, there is a huge lesson I learned later in life: when it comes to responsibility, it always comes down to an individual. The purpose of a human being should be to write a history, a book that future generations might read and learn from as much as possible. The key and the difficult part of life is to live in such a way that your line of history and life doesn’t bother others or, in the best case, shares knowledge and helps others. So, each one of us has our own individual history, which is tied to our body and mind, and we use those “tools,” so to speak, to contribute to the one and strive for a better reality for loved ones around us. Only in that way can it manifest as good for other people. Now, going back to the gig, this was a big part of my history because, even though I’ve been writing songs since I was 11 years old, I started producing electronic music using Georgian folk sounds and authenticity eight years ago. The best possible community and place where I could play my work live and record it is Beate Uwe in Berlin. I received so much love and appreciation in that safe space, one could only dream of it. I feel very thankful, and the “my history” part is that this is the only live recording I have published in my life. It feels like the logical end of a cycle of eight years of work and the beginning of a new one, as I am going to play only live after this. Before, I had been playing lots of hybrid sets, but I feel very confident now that my path should continue in sharing my sound. I am very thankful for my friends and the community that made this all possible.

One note I have is that my vision while playing the live set is that I want all individual tracks to be appreciated one by one, where the listener also gets the set as a whole, but I try to play in a way that, track by track, each one has its own history, just like humans.

Take a listen, and I hope you enjoy! Love you.


Gogi Gunia Live @ Beate Uwe, Berlin, 13.04.2025

After a long flight, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) gently touched down in the middle of the Serranía de la Macarena, an isolated mountain range in between the Llanos and the Amazon Forest. They received a warm welcome by Taina, a young Muisca witch which they had already met the year before. This place felt like a real garden of Eden, surrounded by lush green forests full of wild animals like jaguars or gray-legged tinamous, which are supercute ground-dwelling birds. The view on the nearby Andes mountains was absolutely breathtaking. This place felt like a true paradise.
And it even got better when Taina showed her guests the way to an idyllic waterfall. The witches didn’t hesitate one second. They slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the water, right next to the waterfall. There they noticed that the water was crystal clear. Taina explained that the name of this river is the Caño Cristales and that it has the clearest and purest water on earth. The water felt so pleasant on their skin and long hair, that the girls lazily swam around for over one hour. Then the girls spontaneously formed a circle and floated around with their legs intertwined, performing an improvised graceful water ballet. The witches became so deeply relaxed that they didn’t notice that they slowly drifted away with the current. The water gradually flowed faster and faster, and soon the witches were in the middle of a series of rapids. Witches are excellent swimmers who can stay under water for a long time, so the rapids were great fun for them. They yelled from excitement while sliding down waterfall after waterfall. After a while the river became really wild, and they had to hold their hands really tight in order to avoid getting separated. 
Strangely, Hekske started to see some unusual colors under water, ranging from green, blue, black, red to yellow. After sliding down yet another roaring waterfall, the girls swirled around in a natural pool where the water was a lot calmer. Taina explained that this place is called the giant’s kettle. And she added that this colorful river is also called the liquid rainbow. Hekske and Falke looked in awe at all these vivid colors. This river not only has the purest water on earth. It also has the most stunning colors.
This place truly felt like heaven on earth and the witches were in no hurry to get out of the crystal-clear water …

Hello, Moin und Ahoi Daunelovers!

Obwohl die Flügel heut ganzschön steif waren, die Federn besonders zerzaust waren und der schöne Parkettboden mehr vom ersten Kaffee hatte als wir, ist das Gemüt heut softer als 'n Babypopo. 
Warum fragt ihr? 
Na weil uns die Berliner Dauntempo-Chefköchin Katschinka (@katschikatinka) heut n Frühstücksschmankerl gezaubert hat, das seinesgleichen sucht. Da wird jede noch so geschmacksbefreite Gans zur Connaisseur*in. 
Also: Raus aus den Federn, Kaffee ran und Boxen aufdrehen!
Bon Appétit!


1.  Wie sieht deine Morgenroutine aus, falls du eine hast?
Ich wecke meinen Hund mit einer Kuschel-Attacke und verschwinde dann für eine Stunde im Park.

2.  Hast du ein musikalisches guilty-pleasure?
Man könnte es durchaus erwähnen, dass ich 15 Jahre lang Polka-, Marsch-, und Filmmusik in einem Orchester gespielt habe. Man betone das Wort „habe“!

3.  In welchem Genre warst du als Teenie zuhause?
Indie, Rock und Sunshine Live 🙃

Raus aus den Federn 012 - Katschinka

This month, our Striped Podcast comes wrapped in something truly special again: 
LASKÀ, our June artist – and birthday girl (!) – shares a set full of warmth, depth, and storytelling.

Her downtempo journey is a tender dance between honesty and atmosphere – playful, grounded, and glowing from within.
It feels like watching the sun go down barefoot, somewhere between dreams and dancefloor.

Before gracing the stage at this year’s Fusion Festival, she’s gracing our ears with this lovingly crafted mix.

Happy Birthday, LASKÀ – and thank you for this magical moment<3

Our third episode of Heal Play Love welcomes Janoma. Its hard to describe our feelings while listening to Janoma's music. Since his very first sets started to appear on the cloud we got lost in time and space. What he touches turns to gold. Whether its a live recording or a introspective and highly melancholic journey, one gets always mesmerized by the beautiful and unique construction of sounds. 

Heal Play Love creates music driven and spiritually influenced experiences that celebrate humanity.

Inspired by amazing travels, and having met many beautiful human beings, as well as attending festivals and experiencing Burning Man several times, we felt like doing something similar for the community in Switzerland.

Heal Play Love Podcast Nr. 3 : Janoma

Dear reality-travellers, grab each others hands and ears. Last summer we went on a warm, sun-drenched adventure together to Habla Casa. Even though this is the next chapter in the same story, each expedition is its own. Oh yes, this time around it is winter and night. We're on the other side of the globe. We go far, but in the end we've gone nowhere at all... Without further ado, enjoy '.)

The 'Indrani—Ariana' Mix (Feb 2020)

☼☼☼ Welcome to episode 1.2 ☼☼☼

In today’s episode, I felt like building a journey that travels across the Wadi’s (Valley’s) and the Sahari (Sahara) of the Middle East and beyond. After a recent visit to العلا Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia, a much needed reconnection to our beautiful land and its rich heritage, culture, and history. A journey of discovery which certainly has left us in awe. For that reason, the trip inspired me to bring in more Arabic & Middle Eastern flavors in this episode. 

  With a hypnotic عُود (Oud) intro, to melodies by the majestically sounding قانون‎ (Kanun) tracing its origins to Ancient Greece, to the groovy and shaking sounds of the energetic دربوكة‎ 
 (Darabukka) percussions, a drum piece used in Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian cultures. Arabic lyrics and موال‎  Mawwal (A traditional chant/song in Arabic genre of vocal music that is very slow in beat and sentimental in nature).   But of course, let’s not forgot the more electronic side of things, no narrative needed (:

Honor to welcome the talented @missfeat from France to take the mix halfway till closing. A duo formed in the early 2000’s, owners of Electronikcircus collective and Audiomatik evenings. Thank you very much for your contribution, its a pleasure <3 

Enjoy the journey and happy listening!

Witchtape #65 | Guest Wizz : Joep Mencke

That morning, the little witch woke up from the pleasant sound of the singing birds in her forest.  With her eyes half-open and still feeling drowsy from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always happens in a different location and in the ever-changing company of two other witches).  
After finishing her morning rituals and her daily inspection round of the forest, the girl said goodbye to the animals, and flew into the unknown.  She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  To her great surprise, she was unable to make any speed and she was just gently floating Northwards along with the clouds, which meant this witch coven would take place in a nearby area.  She flew over green lowlands with several big rivers and on her left side she had an excellent view of the North Sea.  After a while, she spotted a crowd of yellow daffodils, thousands dancing in the breeze, along a lake beneath the trees.
She landed gracefully next to the yellow flowers and noticed that there actually was a line of daffodils leading deeper into the forest.  She followed the winding treasure trail until she arrived in a small clearing with a dry moss carpet, where the 2 other witches were already waiting for her, one silver-haired elder witch of over 500 years of age and one black-haired teenage girl from the Middle-East who she had already met at the foot of Mount Hermon a few months earlier (in Witchtape #59).  After the customary group hug, the three women got dressed for the occasion (the dress code was purple) and started with a long series of mystic ceremonies, before shucking off their purple dresses and performing an hours-long ecstatic dance until the camp fire petered out.  It was already well past midnight and the 3 naked witches huddled closely together in the cold wind (which had turned to the North-West while reaching gale force).  On top of that, melting snow started to fall and the temperature dropped to zero degrees.  The teenage witch started to shiver from the cold (she’s used to a way warmer climate) so the two European witches decided to heat her up.  She laid down on the dry moss carpet, while the little witch warmed up her hands and the senior witch did the same with her feet, before warming up the other parts of her body.  Witches can produce prodigious amounts of heat with their hands and soon the body of the Arabic witch started to glow from top to toe.  The witches took turns and repeated the same treatment, until all 3 were emitting so much heat that the melting snow first turned to rain, and finally the rain drops just evaporated before they could hit the ground.  Together with the witches, the whole forest seemed to have become energized and at daybreak spring was clearly in the air, with all the birds - after their morning song - frenetically started building nests, getting ready for yet another epic year in the forest…

Oh, look who we found at the ocean coast, whisteling some happy melodies. A traveller of the sea with rope in his hand and an old sailor hat on his head. While getting to know this fine man and many stories about long travels over the seven seas, he introduces us to a treasure carefully collected and selected.

“But!”, he says, “You can not touch my gift, neither taste nor see it. You can only listen to it.”

And so Fruiterama showed to us an ocean of sounds with deep valleys and high waves with dizzy melodies. 

Now it’s  time to pass it on to you.

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.
