Niju (https://soundcloud.com/niju-1) presents "bazar des émotions" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 224

Our No. 224 comes today from an artist who accompanies me for what feels like an eternity and since then always knows how to inspire with his new productions. You can definitely call him a connoisseur of downtempo, because he stands for me emblematic for the rise of the subgenre and has shaped the scene globally with his countless pieces - no still does.

We are talking about Niju who is always good for a surprise with his very special, organic but mega fascinating sound. No matter if alone or together with Ninze & Okaxy as Wide Awake (@wide-awake-8), he always provides with his playful and atmospheric way in his productions, remixes, edits and also sets for special experiences on the dancefloors, living rooms, bedrooms as well actually on all ears in the world. At least on all those who can appreciate downtempo. Definitely for me as a big downbeat fan. Then, now and tomorrow definitely too. I'm sure of it.

His set recorded for us is emblematic of his sound. To me, the whole tape basically feels like a typical Niju production, only in XXXXXXL format. At the beginning velvet soft and dreamy, yet discreet groovy and later from and then also danceable. And all garnished with a good portion of hypnotic elements like cranky voices and partly indefinable sound fragments. Great. Definitely a typical Niju, who joins our podcast series with his 2.5 hour journey like painted.

Buckle up... I can only repeat myself, but you can expect a journey made for an afterhour. Not a phrase, not fake news, but honest words from a music loving Spessarter.

Thank you so much Niko for this special set. Stunningly profound and refreshingly good. Chapeu.

Unsere Nr. 224 kommt heute von einem Künstler welcher mich seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit begleitet und seither immer wieder mit seinen neuen Produktionen zu begeistern versteht. Man kann ihn definitiv als Connaisseur des Downtempo’s bezeichnen, da er für mich sinnbildlich für den Aufstieg des Subgenre steht und mit seinen unzähligen Stücken die Szene global geprägt hat – nein immer noch tut.

Die Rede ist von Niju  der mit seinem ganz speziellen, organischen aber mega faszinierenden Sound immer wieder für eine Überraschung gut ist. Egal ob alleine oder zusammen mit Ninze & Okaxy als Wide Awake (https://soundcloud.com/wide-awake-8), so sorgt er stets mit seiner verspielten und stimmungsvollen Art in seinen Produktionen, Remixen, Edits und auch Sets für besondere Erlebnisse auf den Dancefloors, Wohnzimmern, Schlafzimmern….ja eigentlich auf allen Ohren der Welt. Zumindest auf all denjenigen, die dem Downtempo etwas abgewinnen können. Für mich als großen Downbeat Fan definitiv. Damals, heute und morgen auch. Da bin ich mir sicher. 

Sein für uns aufgenommenes Set steht sinnbildlich für seinen Sound. Mir kommt das ganze Tape im Grunde vor wie eine typische Niju Produktion, nur im XXXXXXL Format. Anfangs samt weich und verträumt, dennoch dezent groovig und später ab und dann auch tanzbar. Und alles garniert mit einer gehörigen Portion an hypnotischen Elementen wie verschrobenen Stimmen und teils undefinierbaren Klangfetzen. Klasse. Definitiv ein typischer Niju, der sich mit seiner 2,5 stündigen Reise wie gemalt in unsere Podcast Reihe einreiht. 

Schnallt euch an… Ich kann mich nur wiederholen, aber es erwartet euch eine Reise, die wie gemacht für eine Afterhour ist. Keine Phrase, keine Fake-News, sondern ehrliche Worte eines musikverliebten Spessarters.

Ich danke dir vielmals Niko für dieses besondere Set. Umwerfend tiefenergreifend und erfrischend gut. Chapeu.

the invitation was to 'play a sensual set'
& so here it goes...

despite battling a really intense illness through the Burn, my heart was warmed by the magic that flourished during those two hours.

thank you to the curious souls who filled the tent with warmth, movement and deep appreciation for the music.

& to the crew at the motherf*cking queens for the nourishing space.

much love ♡

The next artist in our podcast series has been a regular fixture in our party line-ups for nearly two years, consistently impressing us with her balanced sound and keen ear for the perfect tracks. 

We're talking about @thisisrakaethe, who, whether as part of BeYond collective or on her own, regularly shakes up the dance floors in the downtempo scene. We are thrilled that she took the time to create a mix for us, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we do!

Step into a world of deep, organic sounds as Aliska, the Berlin-based DJ, takes you on a slomosensual journey. 
Her set, filled with surprising twists and turns, captivates with almost no electronics. The tracks are consistently slow, sensually embracing the listener, creating an intimate atmosphere. It's a masterful blend of acoustic rhythms and melodies, that keeps you enchanted from start to finish. 
This mix is a perfect companion to the longer autumn evenings—ideal for getting cozy with a cup of tea by the fireplace. 
Prepare to be mesmerized by a sound experience that is both timeless and refreshingly unexpected.

Ach du Schreck! Der Lift steckt fest!

Aber nicht für lang... Wir schieben das Abrisstape unserer Lift-Dame @gina-sabatini in die Boombox und der Bass erledigt den Rest. 
*Ruckel-zuckel-wrumms* und schon gleitet der Fahrstuhl wieder wie auf Wolken in Richtung Lobby.

Danke Gina und alle die bis zum Schluss mit uns das Grand Hotel zerlegt haben!

Aufgenommen in der Rummels Bucht am 10.02.2019
