Among many crazy and funny things I said (and did) this summer, one sentence glued to my mind: 

LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING TO WASTE! 

I meant this in a sense of "how much of ourselves are we willingly suffocating to maintain the image THEY have imposed on us so that we can develop, progress and move freely?" Life's too short to maintain that image. Live your life the way you want. Your life is only yours, and if it makes you happy to "waste it", well it's yours to waste!

* Music genre of the mix:

After five or six years I played (almost only) a deep techno set at The Swamp, Mo:Dem Festival. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

In my process of overthinking I labeled my style of (writing and) DJ-ing as BRICOLAGE /ˌbrɪkəˈlɑːʒ/. In the arts, bricolage (French for DIY or do-it-yourself) is "the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work constructed using mixed media." This definition fully and realistically corresponds to what I'm creating, whether it is a text or a DJ set. This definition also fits my punk philosophy and aesthetics.

Dearest fellow freaks & friends.

Looking back on this fantastic year’s diversity of tunes and vibrant flows, they all equally effected myself significantly. 

This set was recorded at Mensch Meier´s Closing Event in Berlin and shall present the faster side of my libary and I hope it perfectly blends everything that 2023 meant to me.

Better late than never — here’s my Sunday afternoon set from Vortex in Portugal.
A restless ride through some of my favorite genres.
Started with DnB, dipped into Dubstep and Breaks, wove in some Darkprog, and landed with Minimal and Techno. Hope you enjoy the trip!

The second Vortex Crafty Music Celebration took place September 27–29, 2024, at Toca / Alcacova Bar in Montemor-o-Velho. A 48-hour non-stop music program, crispy vibes, and plenty of crafty surprises. The program unfolded across four areas of the venue:
The Terrace | The Orchard | The Club | The ARTmazeM

→ Watch out for the 2025 edition!

Bio - 
Much more than a DJ, she is a unifying element of music herself – merging people of different scenes, as the music she plays does exactly that. Even more than 15 years down, for her, this is the most important reason for still loving what she does. A passion, that manifested over the years in psychedelic, hypnotic sets at Berlin's influential locations including Sisyphos and Mensch Meier. She enjoys immersing herself in the electronic and psychedelic vibes playing at the most amazing festivals, such as Mo:Dem as a resident, Boom, Ozora, Masters of Puppets, Waldfrieden and Bucht der Träumer Festival, to name a few favorites. Not only in the founding of the connecting platform xXETEXx, but also in every single event, there is real lifeblood, audible and tangible. Whether you find her in front of or behind the decks. 

AYJO
Typically for Josephine, she simply loves good music - across the boundaries of genre or bpm. Which makes her AYJO project the perfect complementation for her to inspire the crowd with dark experimental over dreamy ambient, dub to liquid drum and bass – yet always with a psychedelic twist. Expect the unexpected! 


She conceives that ‘Music is without borders, unlimited by genre, it’s simply a representation of taste’.
