no place I'd rather be - hand in hand with @theaehthea + @schtu - thank you Markus <3

What a festival, what a gig!! I'm not sure if I've ever had a gig nor a festival experience which was better than this one ❤️ Every year they managed to exceed my expectations, but this year was really something else... I was mind blown on so many levels with the upgrades and the depth of love which was tangible everywhere. As if the mystical island was not paradisiacal enough, the full moon, the rainbows and the moon eclipse in the last night really made it an unforgettable festival experience. 

I couldn't have wished for a better playtime than that Saturday night from 0:30 - 2:30 under the full moon. I was quite nervous, especially because I knew I was gonna play spontaneously for a big part of the set. But it was truly perfect... The long performance made it even more memorable. And by the end of it, the sky was completely clear. 

Thank you so SO much, Mystic Creatures! To everyone who made this festival possible, to the performers Katta and Eva who really gave so much energy to my set, to all the dancers, to the tears shed, to nature, to the Bahnwärter crew who built such a gorgeous stage and, of course, to the producers whose tracks I got to play! May this festival have a really long life 🫶🏼

Under The Full Moon At Cosmic Circus - Mystic Creatures Festival 2025

🍃 Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308 🍃

[ GER] 
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause in unserer Podcastreihe begrüßen wir heute Xia Ke aus Shanghai. Der sympathische Producer, DJ und Labelbetreiber mit dem Hang zu organischen Klängen im deepen Downtempogewand ist uns bereits vor einiger Zeit aufgefallen. Seine Mixe bestechen durch eine große Dichte an Atmosphäre, welche durch überwiegend cineastische Übergänge erzeugt wird. Quasi ein Sound der auch gut zu unserer Reihe passt. Ein wenig angepasst hat er diesen aber trotzdem. aber hört selber und findet den Unterschied. 

Tausend Dand Xia für diese feine Reise ins Dickicht der organischen Afterhour. 

<<-->>

[ ENG ]
After a slightly longer break in our podcast series, we welcome Xia Ke from Shanghai today. We noticed this likeable producer, DJ, and label owner with a penchant for organic sounds in deep downtempo guise some time ago. His mixes captivate with their dense atmosphere, which is created predominantly by cinematic transitions. It's a sound that fits well with our series. He has adapted it a little, though. But listen for yourself and see if you can spot the difference. 

A thousand thanks to Xia for this fine journey.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308

With this set, we are launching the OP Podcast series. Our goal is to create a platform for local artists. Different genres and features will follow, so stay tuned!

Badawan (https://soundcloud.com/yunus-studer) grew up in the jungle and drum and bass scene, playing gigs as Jolie Roger for Tsunami and WCC. Helping to establish the infamouse Lost In Nature festival. Meanwhile his musical focuse transformed and is now meandering between psychedelic influenced Downtempo, santeria-sattelschlepperstep, galloping dancefloor soundscapes and dark progressiv sonic adventures. Rooted in underground culture, his sound blends raw energy with fine detail and atmospheric depth – a mix of instinct and precision that lingers long after the last beat.

OP PODCAST #001 - Badawan

Audio Data Fragment Nr. 042, re-recorded Oct 2025
from Zurich BM Decompression Party @ Kraftwerk

Personal note to the log in the diary:
When the glitch had faded and the circuits of the AI fell silent,
we set the Rave Cave on fire &
tore down the walls --
a sanctuary of sound beneath the remnants of the machine age.

This set rose from the digital ashes:
fast, deep, and darkly melodic --
where rebellion met rhythm and the night remembered how to breathe.

What happened in the Rave Cave stays in the Rave Cave.
Let's now dance to the driving & pumping beat - we'll cuddle later. 

Over and out.
And of course, written with a little help from the mother of all AI's —
as we begin a new chapter of collaboration,
where human and machine move hand in hand.

After the Glitch: Phase Demolition - We'll cuddle later

Summercamp - Elevate

After a long flight in Northwestern direction, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the witch apprentice) were forced to land because of the thick fog. Luckily, they were in the middle of a forest which meant they were safe. The trees looked quite different from their home forest in Flanders, and from the moss and lichens on the branches they could see that this was a very rainy and wet place. The birch trees were simply stunning and the witches touched and caressed the white bark. Suddenly one of the trees came to life and morphed into a tall male fairy with long black hair. At first the girls got frightened but when they saw his friendly smile, it became clear that this was a friendly forest dweller. He introduced himself as Ghillie Dhu, the grand protector of the trees. He welcomed the girls to the land of Alba, the northernmost part of the island of Albion, after which he showed Hekske and Falke the way through Glen Affric, a long valley with gentle slopes around the river Affric. After a long walk through the Caledonian pinewoods, they arrived in a small clearing. Despite the fog, this was obviously a stunningly beautiful and peaceful place. The girls were looking around, soaking up their lush green surroundings when suddenly they noticed that the Ghillie Dhu had disappeared. At first the witches were puzzled, but then Falke noticed a lone birch tree which wasn’t there before. The witches smiled and gave a long hug to the tree, kissing the Ghillie Dhu goodbye and thanking him for showing them around. Then they sensed another presence. They saw the silhouette of a young woman in a long green dress slowly striding into their direction. There was no doubt she was a witch. She had long auburn hair and mesmerizing black eyes. She introduced herself as Catriona, the witch of Glen Affric. After the customary welcome hug, she took here guests to a power spot on the bank of the river Affric. It was a spiral which consisted of rounded cobbles, which looked very ancient. Catriona explained that witches have been gathering at this holy place since the era of the Celts.
The place didn’t look that special, but as soon as Hekske entered the spiral, she felt a strong energy field around her. And in a matter of seconds, the mist cleared and the sun started to shine (which hadn’t happened for weeks). Strangely, Catriona’s eyes had a completely different color in the sunlight, and were now a mesmerizing shade of bright green. 
Hekske, Falke and Catriona continued to walk slowly towards the center of the stone spiral. Despite being a small circle of only 30 yards across, the journey towards the center of the spiral took ages, and meanwhile the witches observed a glorious sunset and the rise of a clear full moon in the East. All these celestial events made the energy of this place even stronger, and when the bright moon was high in the sky, the 3 witches finally reached the center of the spiral. They looked at each other, and started a spontaneous dance, slowly turning around in circles. The witches’ dance gradually became faster and more energetic and at one point, Hekske felt a strong presence around them. It looked first like a donut-shaped pink-orange cloud turning around them. This encouraged the witches to swirl around faster and faster, with the luminescent cloud whirling around them, while its color got more intense. Then Hekske saw that this cloud was actually a flutter of sprites, little fairies flying around like dragonflies. This would be the start of an epic night, with hours of ecstatic dancing by the witches and the sprites, and it would only end the next morning, when the full moon finally set at the exact moment of the sunrise …

SUMMERCAMP FOREST FLOOR - ALLAN M

Heute ist francesca mit einem Podcast bei uns zu Gast. In Berlin beheimatet und fest in der Szene verankert, hat sie sich längst einen Namen gemacht. Als Teil der Afterhour Sounds, BUSHBASH und FEMQUENCY Crew ist sie hervorragend vernetzt und darüber hinaus auch musikalisch vielseitig aufgestellt. Ihr Sound ist treibend und kraftvoll, zugleich aber melodisch und perkussiv. Ihre Sets zeichnen sich durch eine klare Handschrift und feines Gespür für den Bedarf der Crowd aus. Wie gemacht für den Dancefloor oder auch für die heimischen Speaker.

Wir sagen Dankeschön und gute Unterhaltung 🙏

Actually, I strive to ensure that each of my sets has a reasonably original or even beautiful cover. For years, I was spoiled by knowing artists who put their magical creative powers at my disposal (a huge thank you for that!). Unfortunately, that's not so easy anymore, so I recorded this set back in December 2024 but never released it due to the lack of a cover. Now I'm ready to take the plunge, especially because this set simply deserves to be released, in my opinion. Not only because my good friend MORGEN opens this set with one of the grooviest tracks ever (@morgen_musik check it out!), but also because a lot of love went into this set. It's time to accept my weaknesses (no visual skills whatsoever) and not always feel bad about them and let them hold me back from the things I love.

So this set doesn't have a cover, so what? Maybe this will become a series, and I'll make sets without covers—who cares!
Because all this wonderful, beautiful music deserves to be shared and heard—so once again, a huge thank you to the artists for these masterpieces!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this mix of trancey melodic psytech.

Braincandy: Trancey Melodic Psytech

Welcome. I don't see myself as an artist. More like an art collector. The Sets and Mixes I create are only an expression of my musical taste and the transitions are the arrangement and decoration of that exhibition. The bands and musicians in my mixes are the real artists. As a gallery owner I try to connect the artists with the audience to foreground their art and work. That's what my sets are for.

Be prepared for sets with a variety of melodic styles like Organic House, Progressive House, Deep House, Tech House, Melodic Techno, Techno, Trance and more! And all of that over a whooping time span of over 18 years of DJing :)

Willkommen. Ich bin kein Künstler. Ich bin Kunstsammler. Die Sets, die ich kreiere sind lediglich Ausdruck meines Geschmacks und meine Übergänge die Ausstellung. Die Bands & Musiker in meinen Sets sind die wahren Künstler. Als Galerist stelle ich den Kontakt zwischen Künstler und Publikum her, denn die Kunst soll in den Vordergrund rücken. Dafür sind meine Sets.
