“Your mind is a canvas. Your dreams are the colors and the music is your brush”   - Lara Schick

What better way to start this dark cold winter month then with a light and warm new Mbuki Mvuki Mix?! It gets even better.... Because it’s Lara Schick that wiggled and jiggled with her precise fingers to create this delicate story and she has a nose for those special tunes. This mix turned out so sweet you’ll just want to push repeat

Lara Schick got highly inspired in the electronic scene by mostly the “unknown” work of artists. While she was diving into all these masterpieces of bleeps and drums and synths all she wanted was to dance on these tunes in the club too. She found herself very disappointed one day by the music selection on a festival in 2017. So she decided to challenge herself believing 'I can do better then this!'. Lara bought DJ equipment as soon as she got back and two weeks later she played her first set on a private party. Guess what? Two months later she had her first gig in a club! 

Apparently it wasn’t just Lara that was looking for a different sound and I can only agree! I was blown away by her original, deep and groovy sound selection the first time I laid my ears on her and am very delighted Lara is now proud part of the Mbuki Mvuki Movement! More powerful women yes please!

Thank you https://soundcloud.com/lara-schick for this dope mix!

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 #21 comes from Berlin based @nigelnagel

We discovered his sets at the beginning of this year and absolutely loved them, so we asked him if he would create a cuddle cast for us.

One wild festival summer later the time has come and it was well worth the wait, cause its a real beauty.

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

❖ Aloha!

❖ Rio de la Luz; what can we say. This humble and great person is just showing daily how nice he is.

❖ So here's what happened - we’ve finally asked him if he wanted to record a recordbutton.
 …the next morning at 9:42am he sent us his mix with the words: 

„Maybe you were making fun; you needed the recordbutton. next day, but voilà!“

❖ Voilà!

❖ Rio de la Luz ❖

Mitten im Grünen, umgeben von einem Meer aus blühendem Bärlauch, tanzten wir barfuß in einem ausgegrabenen Swimming Pool – ein Ort wie aus einer anderen Welt.
Der Duft der Natur, die untergehende Sonne, eine Discokugel glitzert zwischen den Bäumen.

Schwebende Körper, geschlossene Augen, vibrierende Bässe.
Zwischen Dampf und Glitzer, Hitze und Euphorie – eine Sauna um die Ecke, ein Märchen im Märchenwald.

Dieses Set erzählt von Verbundenheit, Sinnlichkeit und dem Mut, sich im Moment zu verlieren.
Langsam, treibend, verträumt, mit deepen Basslines, organischen Percussions und einer Prise Melancholie.

Ein Sound, der nicht nur zum Tanzen, sondern zum Fühlen einlädt.

Sia Moan @Klub Schwitz | Schwebend im Märchenwald | Mai 2025

Here is my recording from Groovin Carpets' after closing.  It was magical to play with the sunset in front of such beautiful, happy dancers. 
Again, a huge thank you to all the dancers and artists for their beautiful tracks.
Ask for track id

With love,

Lyrics:


The rain collects in my veins,
Turning my body into an abandoned shrine
Where I must kneel before memories 
That refuse to decay.

Now the world is quiet—
The nostalgia does not fade—
Until I no longer know 
If I am remembering you 


Find me well when
This time it will end
I'm not good with beginnings
Never mind forgiving's

I tell myself the past is gone
That what we had was only a constellation
It was never a gentle thing
Of our own undoing.


The rain collects in my veins,
Turning my body into an abandoned shrine
Where I must kneel before memories 
That refuse to decay.

Now the world is quiet—
The nostalgia does not fade—
Until I no longer know 
If I am remembering you
