Nugi - Mycelius EP

Sometimes the creation of an EP just flows smooth like a club night. This is one of those times, we have been in contact with @pullichomba for almost a year now and they created this beauty of a track for us in June 2021 with powerful vocals from Macarena Paz (Ohmmmygoddess).

We directly knew who we wanted to remix this and @mytripismytrip, @Kapchiz and @DanielHokum all said yes right away. The fitting cover art comes from Dimitris Kiriakis and @niju-1 did the mastering, could not have dreamed of anyone better. This track is made for Berlin club nights and we can not wait to listen to it for the first time on club speakers ourselves.

Pulli & Chomba - Shaman De Ketamina

As always, we ask the artists three questions to introduce himself. In this case Bene aka @Benoir ;)

1) What is your favorite book to read?

That's not an easy question because I definitely don't read enough. but at the moment I'm reading the book: "Paris - ein Fest fürs Leben" by Ernest Hemingway and I love the way Hemingway calmly talks about his time and describes life as an artist in Paris.

2) If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?

There are a lot of good answers for the second question. I think speaking for humanity, my superpower would be to end wars and hunger, for me personally the greatest superpower would be to be infinitely free from all constraints and conventions.

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

the longest i was up was like 40
hours when we organized our own open air and were busy throughout the night. Otherwise, sleep is very important to me and you will rarely find me at extended after-hour sessions

Benoir - Limon

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect sunday morning sets for quite a while already and @Mattmosphere has been a steady supplier of them for us. So we asked him and his partner Adriana to record one hour of music together, to which they like to stay in bed with.

It's an intimate ask, but they said yes and this beauty of a set is the result. 

Mattmosphere selected half the tracks and adriana aka @amapola-sounds selected the other half and sang her own beautiful lyrics ( see below), their good friend @morgen_musik recorded them and the result is something magical: 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and let the love birds fly ❤️

Here the lyrics to the set:

The Cloud Room
 Es marzo en una ciudad de Europa de 2023
Después de un invierno de temperaturas extremadamente frías, la ciudad está esperando la primavera.
Figuras etéreas.
El rastro de dos copas de vino. 
La blusa tirada en el suelo.
Olor de amor encerrado. 
Y el resto de algunas ramas de uvas. 

Ojos cerrados,  
Manos que se buscan entre ellas Cosquilleos. 
Y se vuelven a dormir. 

Y mientras tanto, 
mientras transcurre la noche,
Las velas se funden, 
Enteras
en la mesilla de noche

Cuddle Cast #3 - Amapola & Mattmosphere present: The Cloud Room

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

Cuddle Cast 16 comes from Berlin-based @madmoiselle_myrna, she is part of our friends at @wdlnds and has also played for our social partner @love-foundation back in 2022.

Its a beautiful dreamy journey that she created for us, so grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

Cuddle Cast # 16 - Madmoiselle

When there is Lui Mafuta and Hug Records combining, you know you're in for a treat. Super dope EP from Haptik & Matalamata! 

Track Info: 

@Hugrecords is delighted to release this EP of @haptik_musik & @matalamata into the world, with some great remixes by @yasenkrasen, @seebo1 and in this case @luimafuta.

We also want to introduce the human behind the music so please meet one of the Artist behind the original track, Mathis aka Matalamata:

1) What is your favorite book to read?
Siddharta

2)if you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Hard to decide but I think teleportation if I could take some friends with me.
Or Omnilinguism - Being able to speak every language.

Being able to decide everything really easily would also be a great superpower.

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?
I need a lot of sleep and always try to get enough, even on festivals (one night I slept 12h at fusion). So I never had more than one day+night without sleep I think.

Thanks a lot for your support,
Philippe

It contains three small books, all of which I love very much:
1. Sara Learns the Secret about the Law of Attraction
2. Solomon's Fine Featherless Friends
3. A Talking Owl Is Worth a Thousand Words!

2) If you were a superhero what superpower would you have?
Secretly, I am one :) …but I try to hide it and my superpower is Telepathy.

3) What was the longest time you have spend without sleep?
To be honest, round about a week…

The opening speech is by Mary Schmich and often falsly attributed to Kurt Vonnegurt. 

Mary wrote it as if she would be asked to give the MIT Graduation speech, but she was unfortunately never asked to hold it.  

This makes it none the less beautiful and powerful though.

Luckily she agreed to create one for us and the outcome is one of our favourite cuddle casts so far.

Meet the artist behind the music, in this case Nugi :) 

Who is your hero?
Being born in a post-heroic society, this question is quite hard to answer! I'm looking up to many great musicians and artists that inspire me, and people that walk their own path and do the things they love. Could also be someone picking up someone else's trash from the floor.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I just moved to a little community space in the mountains, far away from noise and light polution. This is pretty much where I want to be :) ok, a beach would be awesome here!

What was your favorite school subject?
Art! Loved it so much that I found a way to make it useful for others too. I've been working as a graphic designer ever since ;)

Adama Dramé - Fourou (Peter Power Edit)

We are living in turbulent times at the moment and when Steffen send us this beautiful track he mentioned that he thought of peace on earth while creating it. His aim is to create peace in our hearts for the 6:51 minutes that the track lasts and we believe he succeeded in that. We already enjoyed the track for two weeks now and whenever we listened to it, it had a very calming effect on us and functioned as a little oasis of peace on a stressful day. We hope it can do the same for you. 100% of the revenue from this track gets donated to www.love-foundation.org and you can download it for a voluntary amount here: https://steffenkirchhoffmedicinemusic.bandcamp.com/track/peace-on-earth

Steffen Kirchhoff - Peace On Earth

This song was created by a woman named Rosa Giove during a powerful ceremony in South America and she gifted it to the world after that. When Malek aka @lokalaffair send us his edit we immediately fell in love with it and started digging a bit deeper. We managed to find the lyrics in original spanish and english and we are happy to share them with you below. 

We hope the song resonates in the same way with you as it did with us and we want to thank Malek for opening our hearts to this beauty and donating 100% of the profits of this edit to our water project with www.love-foundation.org/about

Lyrics
Abrete corazón, abrete sentimiento, abrete entendimiento
deja a un lado la razón y deja brillar el sol escondido en tu interior.
Abrete la memoria antigua escondida en la tierra, en las plantas, bajo el agua, bajo el fuego, en tu cuerpo.
Es tiempo ya— ya es la hora.
Abrete corazón y recuerda como el espíritu cura, cómo el amor sana, cómo el arbol florece y la vida perdura.

English Translation
Open your heart, open to feeling, open to understanding
leave reason aside and let the hidden sun inside you shine
Open yourself to the ancient memory hidden in the earth, in the plants, under the water, under the fire, in your body.
It’s time— now is the time. 
Open your heart and remember how Spirit cures, how love heals, how the tree grows and life endures.

Rosa Giove - Aberete Corazon - (Lokal Affair Edit)

@feinheitsbrei aka Simeon is a very talented young producer from Dresden. We met him during a Love Foundation party at the TBA Club in the Neustadt in Dresden. There we instantly fell in love with him and his music. The track that he produced for us was also made in the Dresdner Neustadt, the liberal and cultural heart of Dresden. He wanted to express his feelings towards the Neustadt and the atmosphere while strolling around the city. We are very happy to share these 8 minutes of pure Neustadt Love with you. 

50% of the profits of the sale of this track are donated to our partner @love-foundation (www.love-foundation.org) for their water project in Kenia. 50% are split between artist and label.

Mente Organica - El Carnaval Profundo

Nadav Dagon joined the Love Foundation Family about two years ago. He was one of main driving forces in bringing love to Israel and has played countless of live shows in the name of love, all over the world. Now it is his time for a different contribution with his tribal ethnic track Ima Aba. This rework comes from the young talent @Feinheitsbrei from Dresden. He already gifted us a beautiful own track in June and gave Nadav's track now a retouch that gives the whole track more of a club feeling. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 

As always with Hug Records 50% of the income of this track are donated to our social partner @Love-Foundation, the other 50% are split equally between Hug Records and the artist.

Nadav Dagon - Ima Aba (Feinheitsbrei Rework)

We met @luimafuta thanks to our friends from @downvienna at a wild party at Fluc in Vienna in 2019 . We spend some nice days together and feel in love with his live set. When Jonas aka @KlangDruide then send us " A Spoon full of honey" as release proposal earlier this year, we directly had to think of Lui and knew this would be a great match. Lui took his friend Puste along with his trumpet and out came this beauty of a track. Due to Corona we could not enjoy their live performance at Klunkerkranich last Saturday the 14.03, but we hope the song puts a smile on your face where ever you are right now. 

As always with Hug Records 50% of the profit raised with this track are donated to the Water Project from @Love-Foundation. The other 50% are split equally between Artist and Label.

KlangDruide - A Spoon Full Of Honey (Lui Mafuta, Puste Remix)

Thomas aka @thomas-gaarthuis is a Dutch musician that is living in the picturesque Haarlem. He has been producing for many years and made a beautiful remix for us in the very first month of our existence. He is also an avid supporter of LF Amsterdam and we are thankful that he agreed to add his own production to our releases from this year. The title Rompompom came up when Thommie was exploring vocal elements to add to the track.

As for the remix; last year Thommie remixed 'Red Dust' for @theoddness, so this moment was perfect to do it the other way around. Happy to have The Oddness remix Rompompom.

Thommie G - Rompompom (The Oddness Remix)

Monkyman and Love Foundation is a love story that already started a year ago. Due to the pandemic we did not manage to bring it together on the dancefloor so far, but it is only a matter of time till that happens.

In order to deepen the relationship between us anyways, we created a beautiful EP around this track, with remixes by the Oddness, Lente and Ouhana. As always 50% of the profit from the sale of this EP is donated to the Love Foundation Water Project. For more information go to www.love-foundation.org

MONKYMAN - THE TRAMP [Hug Records]

Premiere: MONKYMAN - THE TRAMP [Hug Records]

Some members from @Love-Foundation and @HugRecords are living together in the Sierra Estrella Mountain Range in Portugal, where we are rebuilding an old abandoned village, called Foz da Cova.

We have a little music studio here and sometimes we have befriended musicians coming by for a visit.

Sometimes these friends play music for us and sometimes we press the record button when they do so. 

This is the first of those times.

Our first Pod da Cova comes from @dorianfecht who spend November and December with us in the mountains. Dorian normally lives in Dresden, where he is part of Love Foundation and @Zirkulation. He will take you on a journey to this long forgotten place and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lyrics:
Hills. Trees. Farms. Cottages. Landscapes from dreams. Breathtaking dreams. Idyllic life in harmony with nature in whose bosom it flourished. It would take your breath away. East of Arganil in Portugal, Foz da Cova is its name. And that is where the fires came in 2017. The fires roared. People fled. There wasn't time to save much. In a span of days and weeks, there remained only memories of how life once was there. An almost arid landscape bears witness to the destruction. From this desolation and this devastation and this tragedy an energy breathed itself into a group of people who dared to imagine bringing the magic and the poetry of these lands back, to imagine life finding its way back here with a little help. A heterotopia. This is where I came, this is where I am, this is what I saw, this is what I felt. Sublimating boundaries. Erasing borders. Entwining narratives. Myth becoming real, reality becoming myth. There is beauty here. There is adventure here. And, there is hope. Immerse yourself in these landscapes, live for a moment with these people, dream a little for yourself and for them and for the world. A story whose beginning we know. A story being told. A story being lived. A story which is still coming into being. Foz da Cova is its name.
